    Are you actually getting to the capture application, and if so, is it the same capture screen you see when you capture DV? It should be a different capture application for HDV. When I click on “Capture Video”, it presents me with a choice of DV or HDV. Choosing DV takes me to the same capture screen Vegas has used for years. Choosing HDV brings up a different capture screen.

    If you’re not presented with the DV/HDV choice, then you’ll have to change something within preferences. I just looked at my settings, and I’ve also got the external-capture box unchecked.

    yes. i chose hdv-sdi. then it goes to a different capturing screen unlike the one for dv. however, it says “no device selected”.

    Do you have Windows Service Pack 2 on your computer? My laptop came with SP2, and has never had a problem recognizing my HDV camera (JVC HD100). My desktop, however, was still on SP1, and wouldn’t recognize the camera (same problem as you described). The other day, I finally updated my desktop to SP2, and now the Vegas HDV capture screen recognizes my camera.

    Also. I’m pretty sure that you have to select capture for HDV from out of the Vegas program and not from capture that pops up upon turning on a camera or deck.
