Unable to capture audio
I am working on a project using Vegas 9.0. I am using my old Panasonic PV-GS250 camcorder that records with MiniDV tapes. The camcorder connects to my PC with a USB cable. My Vegas software uses a video capture program called Sony Video Capture 6.0. Both the audio and video appear to be captured by the program, but when I move the file into Vegas 9.0, the audio peaks appear to build, but the audio track just comes up with lines………no sound. I can view the file and sound on the Video Capture 6.0 software, but can’t get the audio to my Vegas program to edit. I have a Sony HD HDR-SR11 camcorder that works just fine in Vegas. What am I missing?

USB is fine for your HDR-SR11 camcorder but not for your PV-GS250.
Capture the footage from that camcorder using firewire and it will work as expected. -
I was afraid of that. My new computer only has USB and memory card input.

You can buy a firewire card for less than $20.

Thanks for your help Mike. I may just pull out my old computer to complete this project. I feel like I’m going back in time creating this to be shown at a wedding reception. All of the groom’s historical video was shot in 8mm video cassettes. I can only play those on my old Sony DCR-TRV310 camcorder. I was copying the highlights to my Panasonic b/c it had the USB cable to connect to my new PC. I wish I could just copy everything to my SR11, but I don’t think there is any way to connect my DCR to my SR11.

“Thanks for your help Mike.”
Glad I could be of some help.
“I may just pull out my old computer to complete this project.”
That’s something that a lot of folks do when they upgrade machines.
Invest in an external hard drive, use the old computer to do the capturing, copy it to the external and then add it to the project on your new machine.
