Camcorder to PC Connectivity Problems

[Coldkilla9]

I have this Sony TRV320 Camcorder
Specs:

The DV Port on the camera stopped working. I tried over 3 cords on three separate computers, all of which worked perfectly fine before this problem had occured. Nothing abusive has happened to the camera and I have no idea why it had failed. However, I do not have weeks to search around for a repair shop, or money for a replacement camcorder. I went out and bought this

Dazzle 90 Creator

Which would allow me to connect the Camcorder's S-Video port instead of the malfunctioning DV/In port that would connect to the computer's 1394 port.

However, I installed the software (nothing mentioned of drivers on the Cd, just a very basic 'getting started movie editor'). Anyways, after I plugged the Dazzle Converter into the back USB port on my computer, connected my new 17 dollar s-video cable from radio shack to the camcorder and to the converter.. turned the camcorder on, went into MY movie editor Sony Vegas 6.0a, and it still had asked me to 'Connect a Device', the same thing came up with Windows Movie Maker 2.0, and the Pinnacle Movie Editor provided in the box. I don’t know what’s wrong.

I need to get this camera ready for importing by tomorrow (monday latest!!). If there’s anything I can do please don’t hesitate to reply. Thanks

The first place to always check is the suppliers knowledge base. A quick look there showed up references to a patch being required for XP in some cases, specific USB drivers to be indtalled and a few other things of interest. I would start there.

I did search their knowledge base, some inquirys were close but they were not on the money, so to speak. I thought I had found a possible answer under a different question but that led me to a dead end. I sent my question to the company but gwad knows how long that'll be before they decide to get back to me. So if you guys know anything that might help i'd appreciate it.

Update: I went to "Live Chat" With the Dazzle Staff. They got me to have my camcorder work in their Movie Editor by changing the imput from composite video to S-Video. How can I do this in vegas?

The following is assuming (since Pinnicle Studio did) is looking for composite video.
1)
Everytime I go to 'video' it gives me that error that is in the center of the screen. A bullet will NOT appear by the dazzle dvc90 video device.

2) for some reason a bullet will appear next to the dazzle dvc90 audio device, but again the error in the center of the screen will appear.

I feel many of you pulling away from this thread because of a state of confusion. i really dont know how to explain this better and i really want to capture this video.

Any ideas?
