[MacDV] Re: Playing DV tapes without capturing them

[CFlatow]

Alas, I can not and I don't know why. I can neither see or control the  
video in the FCE capture window, nor have I figured out how to get  
iMovie to show what's on the tape in the attached deck. Please tell me  
where to look or what menu items to select.

Which settings are you asking about?
