Printing to tape Problem....HELP!!

I do not own a digital camera as of yet. I rent them out to shoot and usually borrow friend's to print projects to miniDV. So I am not used to dealing with any one particular camera and I am not printing to tape all that often so I need some help. Right now I am trying to print back to a Sony DCRPC100 MiniDV. Whenever I eithe try to preview through it or print to tape all I get is about 1 sec blue screen, 1sec white screen, 1 sec video, and it just flashes that cycle throughout. It does this weather through Vegas Video or even through VidCap. All settings seem to be right. I was using a different friends JVC last week and it worked fine. Any thoughts? Thanks, -Shon


System info:
AMD 1333Mhz
768MB RAM
40GB 5400RPM OS/Program drive
80GB 7200RPM DATA drive
Matrox G450 Dual AGP

Hi Shon,

There might be a setting for the video input to the cam?

Can you get the cam to see an analog signal?

Gotta blank tape in the cam?

Power-cycle the cam?

Cam identified in the control panel?

Does the cam have transport control from Vegas?

The project settings for DV NTSC Default?

Additional info: I was just tinkering around with the credits (generated media) at the end along with a photo(.bmp) and it previewed that 5 sec just fine. (which contained no actual video....clue?)

Hi Shon,

From a previous thread (searched on "av pass"):

"Don't have a TRV900 but on a Sony D8 you have to set the A/V>DV menu option 'On' or 'Off' depending on which direction you are going (analog to cam to pc, or pc to cam to analog)."

Perhaps the cam has a menu item like this...

AV -> Out is another one which sometimes causes bad effects, in spite of its name. Also look at DISPLAY on Sonys
