ninetto Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hello, I am trying to run FCP6 (studio 2) on my laptop which otherwise runs all other apps quite nicely with uphuck's 10.4.9 Has anyone had the following problem/and hopefully solution? I cannot capture from my Sony 900e via firewire. The system recognizes the camera, I can even "steer" the tape with the interface (ff/rewind/etc.) BUT whenever I try to capture, the system cues up the tape properly but aborts at the moment the capture should start, reporting "NO VIDEO DATA". Checking other forums, it seems that even real Macs do have some firewire bugs sometimes... I have already tried the obvious: changing cables/pre-sets... Anybody with any other ideas? I fear it might be the chipset of my firewire port: it is a generic OHCI chipset, neither TI nor VIA... has anyone tried using the express-card adapters with firewire ports, for video purposes? Would be grateful for any tips... regards, ninetto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninetto Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 hello dear please tell me which company firewire chipset on your laptop (VIA or TEXAS) if VIA fcp can not support. if TEXAS its work perfect for me. buonasera mahesh_gar, it is listed as a generic OHCI host in Everest... meaning non-branded, so without taking the laptop apart, I cannot tell the chip producer... Or I could make a long-long-distance call to the sweat-shop in Northern China... But your remark does point in the right direction: I want to get one of those firewire-port expresscards with TI-chip to test this suspicion out. Problem is, even on Ebay they are still a bit pricey, like 40 euros a pop! Thanks for your message, ninetto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonokti Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I had the same thing happen to me. Go to Library/Receipts and look for any quicktime with a number after it for example QT72 and trash it, leave the other quicktime files alone. then reinstall Quicktime. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
