Problems with Vegas 7.0 and JVC HD100, please help.

I guess my question is too dumb 🙁

Thanks,

Do you have XP SP2? You need to if you are doing HDV of any sort.

If yes to XP SP2, confirm the camera is set to HDV out. If it is, check control panel>device manager. When you cycle the power on the camera off/on, does device manager update? If so, with what exact driver?

I did capture from hd100 using V7. First make sure your JVC is in the VCR mode. When you first turn the hd100 on, it comes on in the camera mode. You have to press a small botton that is under the LCD panel to trigger it into VCR mode (and also make sure that it is in the HD mode). Make sure also that you can play the tape manually.
Then fire up V7. Set File/Preferences to HD 720p 25 frames then change frame rate 23.097 frames per second. Go to capture, chose HD in the window. A JVC camera should show in the capture window and the camera controls should be active. Hit capture.

An other choice is to buy Cineform “Connect” HD ($199). That software will allow you to capture from hd100, m2t and cineform files simultaniously. Then, you can edit the Cineform files as any DV footage. However, the cineform files contain ALL the HD information. SO, after editing you can render it to any HD or other format V7 allows you to do. Including JVC’s M2t form.

I had a similar problem with Sony Z1 and HVR-M25 decks. Drove me mad but got it sorted. Have a look at my post

and follow method #1 one that I outlined and see if your JVC is recognized. If it is you are sweet to go. If not you will have to use method #2 and it might sort the problem for you. The problem is you need the device ID to solve the problem in method #2. If method #1 doesn’t work post back and I will give you pointers on how to determine the JVC’s device ID.
