just bumping my op, I am still having the same issue. I did a week long back and forth with Sony, send an email next day get a response, rinse and repeat. In the end they sent me Canon’s web address. nice.

Trying to use the HV30 as the deck for the A1s. Using Vegas 9c in Windows 7 64. Vegas sees either cam when firewired but will not capture either. If I put the cam on camera mode I can capture ‘Live’ footage to the hard drive, switch back to tape and nothing.

Strange thing is it did work once, then with nothing changed, went back to the see the cam, work the cam ff, rev. etc., but no capture.

With the 1000’s of these combo’s out there, some one must have run into this and I hope you’ve solved your issue, tell me. thanks.

Well this seemed to work once and only once, do not know why it did and now why it won’t again. Still getting the same issue. I assume Sony help was off over the weekend so I await their reply today, will update this post … unless some has an answer hint hint. thanks.

I did get a hold of Sony:
Open your Device Manager (Right Click on your Computer listing in the Start Button and choose manage. When the computer Management window loads, select device manager from the left hand side of the window)

1. Right click on the firewire host controller (IEEE 1394 Bus host controller) entry in the device manager and choose Update Driver Software…

2. Choose, Browse my computer for driver software

3. Choose, Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

4. Select 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller (Legacy) and then Next

Once the OS has confirmed loading the driver, open Vegas and attempt to capture again.

OK, dope that I am I did find that I am Windows 7 64 bit, Vegas 9c.
I have tried many different options and settings and hoping I am just missing something here.

Cam firewired to Vegas, hit capture, hit HDV, the window sees the cam, I have tried two diff and it sees both, I hit capture and Vegas controls the cam: ff, rev., etc, but nothing shows in the preview window and nothing is captured. Clip log is offline.

Help. thanks

I too am having this issue, can you expand “running the capture in Win 7 64 using a 32 bit version of Vegas Pro.” to a noivce, how do I know what I’m running 32 or 64 and how do I change them. Thanks. I am using Win 7 and Vegas 9. Thank you.
