[Ludde]

I got this error message when trying to print to tape too my hv20, my settings are 4x3 pal, I tried to change the project settings as stated in the help file, but nothing happens ?, I have printed to tape before....without any problems, anybody know where I am going wrong ?

Have you set the HV20 to record in SD, if not there will be a problem as the HDV input (firewire) is incompatible with SD,
Another problem that can occur has the tape been used before and recorded in HDV?.
Also make sure the tape is not copy protected.
this in the camera menu

Yes is set to redord sd dv, the project from edius is sd 4x3, the tape has been used before, but only with sd def 4x3, the tape is not copy protected

I got it to work, had to do a new project with 4x3 sd settings, then it worked, not sure why my other project didn´t work, it had the same settings ?, only one problem left, it doesn´t seems that the camera read the TC from the timeline, have to check in to that one

check the camera menu and see if TC can be set to external like the Sony DSR player/recorders

don't forget to switch back to internal after you are done recording

I don´t see any option in the menus to set timecode to external of my HV20, ok, I have live with it

[antonsvideo]

go to application settings, customize, information

set export timecode to timeline and see if that works with your camera

[Ludde]

Hi Anton, I have customize, but i don´t see information ?

[antonsvideo]

I will provide a screenshot as soon as my capture finishes, another 12 min or so

[antonsvideo]

okay, the tab was called information but now it is called overlay

in any case, it may not fix your problem but I am curious to see what it is set to

[Ludde]

Hi, anton, now i found it, export is set to show sequence timecode in edius

[antonsvideo]

Hi, anton, now i found it, export is set to show sequence timecode in edius

that is the correct setting

as I thought, you won't be able to do it unless the recording device can be set to accept external timecode

luckily mine can
