Was having difficulty with capturing HDV from the Sony GD-HDV700 deck.
Finally found how to set the deck up. The information was from the following website.

On the deck,
1. go into the menu
2. goto in the in/out setting
3. set to HDV
4. set i.Link to off
5. set TV type to 16:9
6. set AV > DV out to off.
Got it working with FCP 6.0.6
