Trying to capture DV video using a Sony Digital8 camcorder using pass-through - i.e. actual source is a VCR going through the Sony camera. When I go to capture it asks me to insert a tape. When I click "reconnect to device" the video preview briefly shows up but it goes right back to the insert tape message.
How do I get it to recognize the camera as a pass-through device without requiring a tape? So far haven't found any option that makes this work.
Thanks for all input

your version of vegas pro is a little out of date, they are currently on pro 12. vegas was never very good for capturing anyway. i'd try to fix whatever is causing winDV to malfunction, it's a much more useful capture program. there may be free version of ScenalyzerLive you could try.

~shrug~ It seems with DV it either works or it doesn't. I don't think there'd be any difference no matter what you capture with. Anyway, I got the answer - disabling Device control under the capture window.
Vegas Pro 8 more than meets my needs. There's still a universe of things within it I haven't explored yet.
Why do you feel WinDV is more useful? What will it do that Vegas won't?
