    I recently ordered this off the net, and Im really excited about using it!

    Im just wondering, what format video does it use? I know iMovie uses .dv and Final Cut Pro uses .mov
    Anyone know what FCE uses? I have about 15 hours of .dv clips on my external hardrive. I wanna know if I'll be able to use them!
    Thanks

    If that's not the standard the software uses, I'm sure it'll be able to convert them.

    FCP express is similiar to FCP and uses a quicktime engine, it is fully comptable with .dv

    I'm finding FCE fairly hard to use.
    I can't capture video from my camcorder. It keeps saying:
    Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved.
    I already imported this on iMovie so it can't be the tape.
    I'm going to just import that file now (but it says 4 clips were lost in the transition)

    Anyone know what the problem might be?

    It sounds like a Time code Jump, you should be able to set it to keep recording over Time code jumps. It'll create new clips after each jump. At least that's how it works on Avid. You can do it manually if you want. Does it stop after a set amount of time each time it fails? It might be something else.
