Help? PTT greyed out

FullCircle wrote on 5/19/2005, 1:06 PM
I just updated to V6a. Now vidcap works again!

But.. although communication with my deck is flawless, PTT from timeline doesn't work. It gives me all the dialogue boxes, but the last one is all greyed out (The one where it says: manual record, crash record etc..) allthough it DOES give the timecode that's actual on the tapedeck (Sony DSR-11)
It's not the write-protected tape. Device is connected etc., preview/vidcap also works..

Does anyone have a clue? For now I'm just printing to tape in V4...

thanks in advance..

Thanks Grazie.. but it doesn't work. PTT from vidcap works, but I have to deliver with color bars etc.. For now I created a new .avi with color bars and black trailer, but if you print them after each other in Vidcap, it writes the timecode from the .avi-files.. So now I have 2 different timecodes. But this job I have to dub to Digibeta so that's ok for this one. Timecode thing can also be a setting, couldn't find it quick enough in manual/help.

Anyone wanna guess?

Full Circle,

I am having the same problem. All but the first box is grayed out. I justed posted it earlier today, here is what I said:

------
When I tried to print to tape this morning I had to manually hit record on the deck, Vegas doesn't want to control my DSR-11.

Xp Pro, SP1, under device manager>Imaging Devices> I can see "Sony DV Tape Record Player" is connected and it says that it is operating correctly.

In fact, I can capture with device control, just can't print to tape with device control.

It worked before I reinstalled XP Pro, and Vegas 6.0b the other day.

Thanks in advance for any adive you can offer.

In Vegas 6.0b, I just tried to Print To Tape with my "usual" settings - being "none." I just wanted to manually hit record on my VHS player and dub off a project for someone. I got to the final menu screen where it had "Finish" grayed out.
I booted up 5 and it worked swell.
Has anyone found a solution here that I didn't find in my Search of this forum?
Thanks for any help.

There is a problem with PTT and certain gear (DSR-11 being one of them). Sony is working on it.

Just tried PTT for the first time on V6 (version 6.0d).
I got the final screen grayed out. Little bit of head scratching and bit of search here.
and then.....put tape in the DSR20 deck and it all came to life.

Must remember to put a tape in - even if I am only using it as a pass thro'.
