Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any way around it?

I also use FC Express HD 3.5. The very first time I used the A1 with it I had a problem where it wouldn't see the camera. I had to play with the settings to match what I recored to the tape (HD, or SD). Then it was a matter of HDV Codec 1080i, or DV-NCTS, setting to capture. Other than that, my only problem right now is getting FCE HD to sync properly when capturing HD video. Hope this helps some.

Could this be a problem because of low memory?

Does Final Cut HD take up a significantly more amount of memory than Final Cut Express?.

Since the A1 didn't exist when FCPHD was around this is hardly surprising.
In fact as far as the 25/4 f setting goes it was only supported in the 5.14 version of FCP 5 if my memory serves me.

So, other than FCP Suite 2, what are people using? (I'm not an editor).

Dom:
Yeah what are people using? If I have an XH-A1 do I have to get FC Suite 2 or Studio?
