Hello,
I have the exact same problem:

.wav worked perfect in sony vegas 9, but total fail in Sony Movie Studio as described above.

It’s the same computer, so it must be the software. All other things are the same.

Workarounds are fine, but how about a real solution? Anyone got any ideas?

I just wanted to post again to say thank you for this great information!

It helped me alot when planning my workflow. I think I will go with 2 cameras for long sessions, and just switch camera view in the editing afterwards when I switch tape/press record.

OR maybe I will get the memory recorder, and go tapeless after the 1st tape runs out, until I can get a pause to hit record again. That way I get a tape backup on Most of the video.

Wow, yea that could actually be part of it. I remember that pressing record used to mess the recording up (brief glitch/pause) at my old vista computer as well..

I was thinking of buying the memory card recorder: HVR-MRC1K so that I can record long events.

This probably means that I would have to go tapeless once the first tape runs out, until there is a pause where I can press record again.

But Im thinking maybe I should get that memory card recorder after all then. But thanks for letting me know about this record pause, so that I dont get disappointed once I try the memory recorder out.

But it would be better if hybrid recording over long sessions was possible. The memory recorder unit even has a mode where its supposed to record between tape switches.

So Im hoping for the best, although Murphys law clearly states that there will be a brief pause when pressing record no matter what I do. So the solution seems to be: find a way to record so I dont have to press record during a session.

Too bad about the tape backup.. would have been nice.

Thanks for the reply.

I think I have come to that stage. When I wrote the post I had put away the camera, so I remembered wrong. It shows up as an HDV device, as Sony HVR HD1000E in the sound & games controllers etc.

And in vegas its something like: Micosoft AV/C device and the same in Wirecast.

• I am able to capture HDV.
• BUT when I press the record button on the camera to record on a tape, the video that is being captured disconnects.

I would like to find a way to make it not disconnect. That way I can record to disc, and at the same time backup the recordings on tape.

Im starting to think Windows7 isnt the best OS for firewire HDV capture.
