If I read your post correctly:
1. The JVC tape can be viewed on your Sony.
2. The firewire on your Sony can be read using Sony 1080i media recorded media.
3. The JVC 720P media cannot be read over firewire from the Sony.
???
When you mention that the JVC tape can be played back by the Sony does this mean capable of being viewed by the built-in LCD monitor on the cam only?
I doubt if the JVC video be seen on a HDTV thru the component outputs of the Sony because Sony is 1080/480 only and not aware of any ability to convert the output video to 720P.
If you have access to a Mitsubishi HD RPTV many have firewire inputs and you can see if the JVC video is really being output over the Sony firewire. If you don't know anyone who has a Mits TV you may be able to access one at a major electronics retailer.
If it can be seen on the Mits TV over firewire then obviously there would be a software concern.
If you have a friend with a Windows PC and firewire try the CapDVHS pgm (free) as it works for both JVC and Sony. It can capture HDV video from those cameras but cannot write back to a camera. Once you have the JVC 720P HDV captured on disk then it could be worked with.
I use CapDVHS for my FX1 captures. I'm even using CapDVHS to grab HD video from my cablebox with firewire out. 720P and 1080i.
