Can my Sony DSR-45A input Svideo and output it via the firewire ?

[Litaiff]

I have this deck, it has Svideo inputs/outputs and when I connect the VCR to it, the video is shown on the front screen. But I would like this to output via DV cable, is that possible? Or would it only output through Svideo?

I made the connections but there was no video signal via Firewire on the receiver, which accepts signals up to 720 x 480

What do you mean by "receiver"? Firewire is normally accepted by a computer through a Firewire port, so the flow would be VCR > S-Video+audio cables > DSR 45A > Firewire cable > Computer.

You may have to adjust the settings in the 45A to set up the passthrough.

I will try again, I'll do the settings better, but my receiver or capture card it's an DVD recorder ''Philips DVDR 3355'', which accepts i-link input.

I think I understand. Are you using the 45A as a passthrough for any reason, because you could just connect your VCR direct to the DVD recorder (via S-Video would be best, if you have it) and record/burn your DVD that way.

Yes, that's exactly what I do, I use the s-video output directly on the DVDR, I'm using a D-VHS that also has an I-link output, but it never worked, so I just wanted to do a test using the DSR-45A as a pass-through.
