bob even if you recorded the video in HD, you should be able to import it with a standard definition camera to final cut. i think i have done it before… because the information stored on the tape is HDV, and the computer will be able to figure that out. so basically any kind of camcorder should work… which would be easier to find than specifically a sony hd camera… i think. not totally sure though.

Nope, nothing shows up when playing it on my DVX. Plugged in through firewire, capturing in Final Cut to see if maybe the computer would see it even though it wasn’t playing on the LCD, but nothing.

hmm
will the DVX play other miniDV tapes?

in final cut i mean

wait ignore what i said… i didn’t read the part about it not playing on the lcd of the dvx. good luck!

Yep, my equipment works fine, I just don’t have the right equipment. I need anything Sony HDV, because Panasonic, even an HVX, can’t read what Sony is putting down.

does the dude in the classifieds who’s sellin the Sony camera still have his?

Maybe but unfortunately it’s not HDV, it’s an older VX. One of the first doors I knocked on was his, and Don’t Sleep Productions…

jarvis is multimedia guy…hit him up.
