Do you use Vidcap? What is the Windows input program?

you are not correct :)

You can capture MiniDV via vidcap, and HDV via the hdv capture tool in vegas.

and you can view the input from the firewire via these capture utilities. (it has been this way since I've used Vegas back at 5 for DV, and since they added the HDV capture utilities whenever that was in one of the upgrades.

good thing you asked.

I thought VidCap loaded automatically. It always has before. Do I have to go and find it now? And where does it go? In the past it was in the same file as where I had my .veg files. Appreciate you answers. Thanks

OK...OK....it DOES preview the video! I had to try it three times before it wold load my device, but it works now. Thanks for the help. This means I can finally use 9d. I've had 9.0 for a year now and can finally use it. I guess that's something.

Just search for Vidcap.exe.
I have a shortcut to it on my desktop, I don't even start Vegas to capture DV. For HDV you do need to load Vegas, well I've not tried to find a way around that.
