QTPro 7.2  doesn't see my MOTU interface --  QTPro 7.1 DID .. and I  
used to use it to capture video from my older Canon DV camera and  
audio from my MOTU 896HD.

Problem, I wanted to move to the new Canon HV20 HDV -- but QTPro 7.1  
doesn't see that camera.  QTPro 7.2 DOES see the camera , but it  
doesn't see the MOTU.

I've posted about this very thing numerous times.

QTPro 7.2 doesn't see my MOTU 896HD.

Show stopper for me.  So I can't record to disk via QTPro.

I'd prefer to record directly into iMovie 08, anyway ..
why have to use QTPro .. then take the file and drop it into iMovie ...
waste of time

and again, QTPro 7.2 is broken.
