| |  Video Capturing Problem(s) with Vegas 6.0
I am just new to Vegas, coming from Ulead Video Studio 9 experience, which I still have installed and running on my desktop computer and suffer no video capture problems between my Panasonic DV and computer, via a firewire port, implementing Ulead Studio 9 or Windows Media Encoder software.
My problem occurs when I attempt to “capture video” using Sony Vegas 6; the software echo’s back that It’s “not available”, this is with the “preferences” (video tab) unchecked. When I “check” the box and use the Sony supplied “vidcap60.exe” file, the results are worse, meaning “Nothing” happens.
Open to any and all comments, suggestions and criticisms with a premature “Thanks”

Give this a go. On the top device menu make sure you have Microsoft DV Camera ticked, and not SMRT capture.

From memory (I'm not at my editing machine) the capture device isn't in a tab, its on the drop menu across the top of the capture window.

Andy,
I’ve located the drop-down you referred and I have three option of which to tic, but none of them are that of Microsoft DV camera. So I believe I may have an older version of Vegas 6.0 than you do, but I going to keep playing, cursing and working at it until I beat this minor mountain.
Andy, sincerely I much appreciate your time, experience and knowledge.
Regards,
TA |

Thanks for the praise. Nice when people appreciate answers.
I'm not really a techy type, but if the Microsoft DV camera option isn't there, I think Vegas isn't detecting the camera at all. You said previously the vidcap6 caused more problems too. I suspect the problem lies somewhere in there.
