Capture HD100U footage using FX1 for playback?
By any chance has anyone been able to capture any HD100U footage using a Sony FX1 as a playback deck? I'm trying to do this now and the video plays fine on the camera's LCD screen, but isn't coming across to my capture utility (Edius MPEGCapture). Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

I'm real interested to hear what you learn trying to do this. First thing I would try would be a different capture utility, if you have one available. If it's playing on the camera LCD from the tape, the signal sure as heck should be on the firewire line, unless they did something I can't think of any reason to do, in the design phase of developing the camera (it would be more design work to keep a format that is not native to the camera, yet that will play on screen, off the firewire during playback, one would think).

I just thought of a way to test it that should tell you if the signal is on the firewire line during playback of a tape, recorded with the HD100U, in the FX1. I believe that if you try to view it with DV Rack with HDV, you should be able to see it on your computer monitor if the signal is indeed actually there (and the trial version works with HDV - that I've done, with my HD10U, although I have encountered stability problems thus far).

It's not possible. Sony specifically does not transport the JVC footage on the firewire.
If you want to digitize JVC footage, you have to use a JVC product to do it. |

Edius 3.61 should be able to do it too. |

Thanks, I did finally get it to work (barely) using my computer with the Edius 3.61 updates installed. I had to keep rebooting to get it to work properly, but eventually I got the footage captured.

My interest would be in capturing HDV recorded with an FX1, using my HD10 as a capture deck. Was I understanding what you wrote correctly Kevin, or did I misinterpret what you were saying? There's a freeware capture utility that I really like, called WinDV. Among other things, it buffers input in memory (which many payware cap utils don't). That can cut down dramatically on dropped frames if your hard drive is fragged, if you're multitasking, or capturing to a 5400rpm laptop drive, etc. |

Robert: I was able to view the JVC footage on the LCD of my FX1, but not capture it via firewire. I ended up borrowing the camera again to capture the footage, and even then it was a challenge.

I'll be finding out pretty quick if an HDV tape made by an FX1 can be captured with an HD10. My FX1 should be here tomorrow or Thursday. I've been told it can't be done, but I don't know of anyone that has actually tried do it, so I'm going to put it to the acid test.

Oh well. It was a nice dream while it lasted.
