  Capturing Video via Firewire in Vegas 13

  Posted by Diane Sosnoski on August 5, 2016 at 3:37 am

  If you are running Vegas 13 on Windows 10 and are having problems connecting from a deck or camera via firewire, here is what worked for me:
  Upgrade Windows 10 to the current “Windows 10 Anniversary Edition” and update your video card driver.

  Do you plug in your f/w cable into your video card?

  So your advise relates solely to those who may capture via their video cards. Yes? Others who will have a separate f/w card, would need probably need a win10 legacy or some such for that card.

  Hi Graham,
  I’m sorry I wasn’t very clear.
  My Dell XPS PC didn’t come with firewire so I purchased and installed a firewire card. A firewire cable connects the inputs to that card (in the back of the PC) to my Sony DVCAM deck in order to capture video.
