DV pass through failing!

I have a DCR-TRV38 and it has a pass through capibility. When I hook it up through firewire to capture from a vcr I only get sound and no video. The video stays for a second and then it goes blue.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

I don't know the TRV38, does it have a menu option to enable passthru? Some cams do. It's not always automatic.

What’s the source material? Sounds like possibly a copy protection issue.

It can't be copyrighted I shot the video my self. VCR is analog and my camera has a pass through which has been enabled. It shows on the lcd screen on my camera but the sound is clear just the video stays for a second and then goes off. I don't understand what's wrong. Thanks in advance for the help.

Just to be clear - everything is fine on the camera/LCD? If so it sounds like it might be a cable issue. If so just try another cable for the video.
