Printing to DV Tape

[Shifty268]

Im trying to print dv from my computer onto dv tapes.
I have tryed many times but nothing is on the tape once i finish.
I set my camera on the play mode and go into "tools>print video to tape" in vegas 6 it starts the process and the video comes up on my camera screen but for some reason it's not recording onto my camera. I have a Panasonic NV-GS120 if thats any help.

Did you try setup your camera to camera mode (capture)?

How would i got about that?

When you are priting to tape should you have your camera set in the play mode as you re going to watch something on your camera?

You need to make sure you have your camera set to VCR or VTR mode (varies by camera) and also set to DV-in. Your manual can explain how to do this, but the mode is usually part of the on switch, and DV-in would be set in a menu somewhere. Time to dust off your reading glasses.

If you can see the picture on your camera screen that means the DV in works.
Some programs have an seperate option to start/stop the recording when "printing" to tape.
Possible you could start the recording manually on the camera when printing to it?

I havn't posted back on this thread beacsue i gave up on it for a while today i sorted it out.

I had the "printing to dv tape" settings wrong in vegas i had it set to "manual" instead of "crash recording", so it was playing through the camera but it wasn't recording as sone as i selected crash recording it worked so my fault. Not reading as i clicked ok o well cheers everyone
