  • Compatibility issues with Roxio capture device..?

    Posted by Charlotte Lichter on January 29, 2011 at 3:01 pm

    Just wondering if anyone knows if there are any issues using Roxio Video Capture USB device with vegas 8? I am looking at transferring my home VHS tapes onto DVD and have purchased, but not opened the Roxio box. I thought I read somewhere that vegas won’t recognize the capture device, but I can’t seem to find that article. Anyone using Roxio easy VHS to DVD with sony? Any thoughts or experiences? I am looking at purchasing Sony vegas 10, but not at this moment.

    It depends on the capture device and if it uses a proprietary protocol for capture or not. Vegas is designed to capture over firewire not USB. I have played around with capturing my web cam over USB and it works but web cams are designed to work with any software. The Roxio capture device may not be.

    If I were you, I would open the Roxio box and use the software that came with the device. Otherwise, return it and buy a firewire capture device so that you can use Vegas.
