I've never tried what you're doing but I believe when you hit Capture  
Now that only works in conjunction with the camera when it's loaded  
with film. Your source is the VHS recorder. Wouldn't you need to  
start the recorder first and then maybe the Capture Now button will  
work. If not, then is there another way of importing into FCP. I have  
Final Cut Express and imported video from a Formac Studio TVR but  
can't remember how I did that. Sorry.
