I am trying to capture DV from my camcorder using Mediastudio 7.0 and a firewire card. Is there anyway to automatically control the camcorder when capturing?

Right now, the only way I have figured it out is to start the capture and manually hit play on the camcorder. This seems like a pretty basic operation Mediastudio should do since all of the other software packages including Microsoft Movie Maker seem to do it.

What about automatic scene detection based on start / stop recording?

Thanks.
