Should I be able to capture DV video in demo mode I have the firewire card in
The computer sees it but when I go to capture it says, "no capture device" under the video tab..I would like to see if it will work on this box before I buy the software Dell 2.4 p 128 ram 30 gig hd..I can get audio from the CD player and stills via usb and work with them but no dice with DV ??

Thanks

I believe you can digitize DV video with a demo. You just can't render an output... It sounds like the computer (windows) isn't seening the device in the first place...Some people have had problems with old standard Texas Instrument DV drivers, that don't jive with certain edit programs. Check into that.

If you have winXP(home or pro) try to capture using windows media director.
That is the best test to see if your computer recognize the firewire.
Make shure that your device it is ON before starting Vegas.
