Capture Problem

I attempted to complete a print to tape from the timeline today, (first time)hooked up my Sony Dig Camera and computer recognized the device fine, then after the render was complete, a box came up instructing me to attach the device, as if it lost it's connection. Was unable to complete, as I could not get the computer to recognize that my camera was plugged in via the firewire. Tried rebooting, tried suggestions in troubleshoot, made sure connections were secure, even tried a new firewire cable, to no avail and the computer says capture card is functioning normally. Anyone have any ideas what happened, or what I could try next? Thx in advance

Is your Sony camera going into 'stand-by' while you are rendering?

If I leave my Sony on, without using it for a period of time, it does this. When my file is finally ready to PTT, the camera is sleeping.

You know, it may have gone to sleep, but I turned it off & on several times. I can no longer get the computer to acknowledge the device. I have hooked up countless times in past with no problem, all of a sudden it stopped recognizing the camera. Going into sleep mode should not have caused any lasting issue like this during the PTT session could it? Any other settings I can double check?

I have had exactly the same problem for a couple of weeks which is strange because it hadn't happened before, and I had not made any changes to computer settings, etc. All settings and equipment are exactly the same as when it was working, and the camera hadn't gone to sleep. I know it is not the cable because I have tried both Firewire and USB, and they both work fine with Capture and camera control.
When I try to Print to Tape I get a message which tells me to select a video device. I Select "OHCI Compliant/DV....", but there is no button for Apply, OK, or whatever, just "Default". The only other alternative is to close. I have tried both of these many times, but still no PTT. I check back on the OHCI selection and it is no longer selected.
I am dead in the water now. Can somebody please help.
