Yes. And with Connect HD Cineform also. I watch it on the Z1 viewfinder.

Works on mine as well. How much RAM do you have?

I have 1 GB of ram.
I see "Stopped" (or similar) in white letters on blue background.
Sound is also present, but no image.

jjkizak,
your system has plenty of power to get display, i dont know about cineform connect hd 34, but should work fine with vegas capture,, i just did a test with an ancient machine an athlon 2800+ with 1 gig of ram capturing from a hc3 and got video with both vegas and hdv split,, did get a warning from split that it may not play smooth,, but it played

I have only used the Connect HD capture.Haven't tried the Vegas HD capture because the Cineform codec in Vegas was always one generation behind the Connect HD codec. There were about 34 revisions.

Does that come into play if you are capturing transport stream from cam into vegas and editing m2t in vegas ? man this stuff gets confusing
edit :sorry per1 not trying to hijack your thread , but kinda have

I don't recall for sure as I was just remembering a pile of threads regarding the codecs and which one to use. So I just kept using the updated Cineform codec and capture. It was my understanding that the Vegas HDV capture used the older Cineform codec unless you installed Connect HD last. But I am just not sure anymore.

Winrock, no problem.

sure is confusing. HD NEO seemed pretty good until you read all the horror stories of reinstalling Windows and all trouble that *might* follow.

I think I'll start out with Vegas and see where it gets me. I can preview on camera while capturing tape. It is however a real CPU killer and I might instead put effort into getting DV right, with proper lights etc.

Next test is to stream to hard drive directly, perhaps tapeing at the same time for backup.
