Check all of the following:

1) Try using a different Firewire cable.

2) Download the freeware capture program called HDVSplit and see if you can capture with it instead. http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm

3) Try connecting the HD50 to another computer as a test and see if it is recognized using HDVSplit.

In any case, follow this sequence when connecting the camcorder. With the computer off, connect the camcorder to the Firewire cable. Boot the computer. Then turn the camcorder to "on" in playback mode. You should hear a telltale system sound indicating that a device is connected. Try to capture with Vegas or HDVSplit.
