Vegas 7.0e Capture Issue

[Terje A. bergesen]

I use a E-MU Audio Card and you can have a loop when capturing from firewire. So never say never.

I hate to argue, but… The only way you can get feed back loop when doing anything is if something is recording the audio as you are capturing, and the recorded audio is fed back into the capture stream. If you capture from tape using firewire, nothing is capturing your audio. Not your camcorder, and (believe it or not) not your computer. The sound card is not engaged at all.

Capture over fire wire from tape is a pure bit transfer from the tape of your camcorder and onto your computer. Audio can not, theoretically or practically, be added to that capture process. It is simply impossible.

Have you explored every combination of soundcards and their routings.

Since the sound card is never involved in a firewire capture, this is irrelevant.

Could it be my processor…I have a AMD Athlon 3000+….but perhaps it is not meeting the 2.8Ghz transfer that Sony Vegas says you need to have in order to capture HDV? Although I am under the impression that the chip I have actually runs at that speed…

I was able to capture DV fine with my P4 2GHz, since you have problems capturing DV as well, that is probably not it, on the other hand, it seems to be a hardware problem, so…

I bet you are trying to capture to your primary (C) hard drive. You either need to install a second internal hard drive or hook up (USB2 or Firewire) an external. You can now buy a 500GB Western Digital External Hard Drive for about $130-150.
