I have two cams

sonyDCR-PC100E
sonyDCR-TRV22E

Both say they have DV in but when I connect the fire wire to the unit and export to video in premiere, the blue screen comes on and that is all I can record.

I have tried pressing record on the cameras and then pressing play on the timeline but not even that is showing up on my camcorder screens.

Is there something I am doing wrong? should I just invest in a better camera?

I want to export as video to quicktime, transfer the video to my mac and output from final cut pro. would that be easier?

Thanks everyone, great forums

Mike
