I just punched up version 5.7.2 on my MacBook Pro and looked at the capture tool. Are you capturing normal resolution MiniDV from the VX2000 that you mentioned in the other post? You should have the resolution set to DV25 411. That is the proper setting for MiniDV, standard resolution. Make sure it is set for that in the format section of your project window, under the settings tab. All the other resolution settings are for specific formats, 1080 i and p are Sony HD and I think Canon. The DV50 setting is for the proprietary Panasonic digital format known as DVC Pro. Your settings should be set for your on board OHCI firewire connector. Check youur project settings for the deck preferences and make sure that you actually have the proper feed deck selected.

You can go to Avid.com and joinn the forums under support and training, they are very helpful.

Good luck.
