How are you capturing?
Are you using the internal capture?

I am using the Vegas internal capture and the HC3 is recognized as an IEEE mpeg2 TS device. I can control the HC3(FF,RW..) from vegas and can capture fine with no lost frames, just no preview. Maybe there is just not enough mips to capture and preview but thats a guess.

You're doing it the right way and you might be right. You could run a monitor off the camera / VCR to get preview. I only capture HDV on a monster PC and I sure get preview, are you sure there's no setting in the Capture widget to force preview On, there is in VidCap.

I have looked everywhere for something I missed to turn preview on and no luck. Thanks for your help.

Howdy...

I've only captured HDV in premiere pro so far, but I've noticed that while you can preview in the capture windows, as soon as you begin the capture, the preview turns off... Not sure if that's the same on Vegas, but I suspect it might be...

Best,

Benjamin

With Vegas I can't preview the HDV at all. I can run all the camera controls including play but no preview.

I missed the obvious, HDV is temporal (mpeg) not realtime (like DV) and is not displayed.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Yet another reason to capture with HDVSplit. HDVSplit has a GPU accelerated scalable preview that hardly taxes your PC at all (given that you have a decent graphics card). Combine that with the fact that it's free and that it scene splits your m2t files, and I don't see why everyone isn't using it!
