Does anyone have any experience using VEGAS 4.0 with a Sony D-30?
We are trying to capture direct to disk via firewire. We have have previously used Xl-1's, PD-150's, DVX-1000's, and TRV-900's with No Problem. VEGAS recognizes the D-30 but will not capture what the camera is looking at. It appears to want to capture what is on the tape as if it were a PlayBack Deck. VEGAS will control the camera but when you hit Record in VEGAS... VEGAS begins to capture whatever is on the tape in the D-30. The other Cameras would just show a picture and send it to VEGAS for Capturing. Also, none of the other cameras we have used required a tape at all but it appears that the D-30 must have a tape in it.
We are having to use Premiere Pro to do our captures. Then import the AVI into VEGAS for editing. Naturally we would much rather Capture & Edit with VEGAS. It just sux having to explain to your boss the reason that you are using another program to do what you said VEGAS would do. Plus Premiere is just not our NLE of choice.
Once again, we are trying to capture direct to disk via 1394. Not record to tape then capture to disk.
Thanks in advance,
Lamont
