Hi, tried those links you sent me thank you but after following the instructions I still cant get it to export to tape. Yes I'm using a camcoder with a fire wire. When I click export to tape the camera enters into record mode but stays on pause and the footage in the time line dosnt play then I get message under the record button saying recording failed.

Looked in the cam menu for DV in settings but cant seem to find it.

thank you.
