Hi Chaps. I didn't realise that this problem persisted on 3 decks. I thought the problem only existed when using a Sony DSR-2000P, and that Andrew had already managed to digitise from a camera in VTR mode.
If its 3 decks then you're quiet right - it's highly unlikely to be anything in the deck settings. Having said that I don't think you have a problem with your FCP settings , and it is possible to digitise in Capture Now mode. It's just the deck control that's the problem. So it's thinking caps back on.
