I am using a sony VX2000 and a 500mhz g4DP and when i get ready to capture the video it has a weird type of horizontal noise, or streaks, i tried capturing it to see if it was maybe just a display problem but it captures it that way too. i tried using premiere, FCP, imovie2 and it's the same with all of them, which tells me that i might have a hardware problem, also i tried different firewire cables and i optimized my hard drive thinking that would help. oh, the distortion only happens when there is motion on screen, such as a snowboarder flying through the air or the camera panning, but it looks fine on the camera and tv through s-video. i would appreciate any suggestions. thanks in advance.
