I am trying to copy old VHS tapes to PC to copy to DVD. I'm using Vegas Pro 8 and am using a Sony DCRHC96 camera as my converter.

When I attempt to use Vegas to capture the tape it sees what it is playing on VHS for like a second then asks me to put a tape in the camera. So the camera and PC are connected properly seeing as Vegas sees the video for a second, so I am presuming the settings are wrong in the Vegas software, but for the life of me I can't work out how to change it or what it is that may be wrong elsewhere.

Any ideas or suggestions on free software that may be able to do the capture?
