Analog capture thru sony dv camera

[whodee]

I am trying to capture analog video using my Sony TRV38
digital video camera as a converter.I am using an
IEEE1394 connection.When I go to capture the video it
shuts the camera off. The only way I can capture the
video is if I turn the camera on first. Then select
record pause on the camera in vcr mode, and then connect
the IEEE1394 cable. I get an error message, close it,
then it starts to capture the video. Is this the only way
to capture analog video thru my digital video camera
using a firewire connection?

utility that Microsoft released last year to help you with the pass-thru
issue.
