    When I try to capture video I can’t. When I look to see what options I have for capturing only the options for my Digital PC tuner card are listed that being a Compro DigiMate DBT-300. Where do I look to get Vegas capture to look for my Firewire card?

    Assuming that you have your device hooked up to your firewire port and it is recognized by the computer, you should see it listed when you click on the ‘video’ menu item at the top of the capture window.

    It doesn’t appear in Vegas at all. I then tried Windows Movie Maker which is part of XP & it captured it without a problem. Going back into Vegas again didn’t help. I mention this because I recently could not renderd to WMV so used Movie Maker & when I went back to Vegas it started working so using Movie Maker must have changed something, I have reinstalled Vegas but that didn’t help.

    Perhaps you’re using the wrong capture utility? Are you using the “Internal” or “External” capture? “Internal” is for HDV. “External” is for SD (i.e. MiniDV sources).

    I’m using the same utility as always. Turn on camera when plugged into firewire port & windowws asks if I wish to capure using Vegas,Movie Maker etc. I choose Vegas which opens up but when I clcik to select capture devise only my PC tuner card is listed.
