Hello all!
I love to edit video but I am very unfamiliar with HDV video. I was given a tape to edit that is HDV format, shot 720 video and I was just told it was on a JVC camera that is not widely used. I've tried to play and attempt to capture the video to Final Cut via two different HDV cameras to no avail. The two cameras I tried were a Canon HDV Vixia HV30 and a Sony HDV 1080i HVR-A1J. Upon trying to play the tape on the Canon camera, I get a red flashing notice saying "Playback Restricted" and on the Sony I get a message saying "Incorrect tape format."
I tried playing with the menu options but none of them worked. Soooooooo....
Does anyone have any advice on where I even go from here? I need to have this video project completed in a week and a half and I'm definitely STUCK!
Thank you in advance!
