V9 causes capture nightmares?

I had the V8 capture problem, but V7 worked fine. Now, after recently installing V9 - V9 has a ton of dropouts. So does V7. DV or HDV. And capturing on another computer with V7 only...fine.

If you can't capture, you can't edit. Is there any info on this? V8 had the capture problem, but it didn't mess with V7's ability to captue. Now, I'm handcuffed on all versions.

How is V9 causing V7 screw up capture?

Thanks in advance.

Since I am tapeless and don't use Vegas Capture, I can only guess.
Isn't capture external to Vegas, so is it getting overwritten?

I peeked at your specs and your PC isn't underpowered, but why XP?

what are you capturing to? (looked at your specs as well - and agree you're not underpowered), but it sounds like a bottleneck or stuffed hd.

can you try capturing to an ex hd as a test?

I always use WinDV for DV tape and HDVSplit for HDV tape because they create one file per scene, named according to shooting time and date, which is visible within Vegas or other video editor.

Give them a try (they are free). If they don't work you must have problems with your setup.

Each version of Vegas includes it's own VidCap.exe program for capturing SD. They're not overwritten. As far as i know HD capture is built into Vegas.

Why XP? Because it works, and it works extremely well, and it's already paid for.

I don't know. I had that problem with V8 - each frame being a separate file, but now I'm getting exessive dropouts in HDV & SD captures. It's a mystery. I can still capture on my other system.

If I'm using 32bit V9 on an XP 64bit system would that do anything?
