Anyone using an XHA1 with Sony Vidcap??
It seems to be recognized alright but I get : ” The device Canon XHA1 could not be opened. Please make sure it is turned on and not being used by another application or user.”
Any thoughts?
Thanks very much,

The Canon XHA1 is HDV and Sony Vidcap is an SD capture tool. If you really want to capture SD then make sure that the Canon XHA1 is in DV downconvert mode. Otherwise you need to use the HDV capture tool within Vegas.

Why would it ask me me if I want to capture SD or HD when opening then?
If you really want to capture SD then make sure that the Canon XHA1 is in DV downconvert mode.
I would capture in HD and then downconvert but I’m having to match some 4:3 footage
Otherwise you need to use the HDV capture tool within Vegas.
Can you tell me where that is in V8 please?Thanks John,

Vegas will ask you if you want to capture HD or SD and then either use the internal HD tool or the external SD Vidcap. You said you were using Vidcap so you must have told it you want to capture SD.

Not a problem. Just make sure that your camera is in DV downconvert mode and use Vidcap. If it’s in HDV mode, Vidcap will not be able to capture from it.

File | Capture Video… and then select HDV or SDI.
