Friends,
I haven't been one to suffer with too many tech issues but as luck has it  we've hit a road block on this one.
I have an HDV project/sequence. I need to record to HDV tape. I keep getting tape output failure messages. Apparently Liquid Xe sees the deck as I have deck control but I cannot view video through the firewire/deck. Thus the output failure. I have also tried this on our Liquid Pro system as well.

My HDV deck for this project is a Sony V1U camcorder. I have the camcorder set to HDV IO.  Any ideas?  Thx!

Do you have the correct settings in your control panel, it is hd2/60 for 1080 ntsc and hd1/60 for 720 ntsc , it is all described in the ref manuals hd section.

Previewing of an hd timeline is not possible through firewire, only sd is possible.

Workflows for how to get your project to a hd tape is well described in the ref manual, a new file will first be created and after that, the exporting begins.

You can't see the video over DV as Tomas said. However that does not return an error message, it just can't be done. Have you tried to output to tape and then played it back and see if you have the material?

Many thanks for the replies.  I have the settings set correctly at HDV2. The timeline renders on dump to tape but doesn't seem to see the deck when the render finishes. I'll dig in more tomorrow and double check everything. I'm sure its a small detail we're overlooking.
