No sound should be heard during capture. With no sound after capture you may
like to try connecting the audio output to the line in of the pc, select
this as the audio option and try again.
MM is designed more for use with firewire, and not anologue capture which
you are doing. It may be best, if you have lots to capture, to use an
analogue capture dvice. The better ones are relatively expensive, check out
www.canopus.com for their advc range and Miglia. The cheaper ones can often
bering their own problems.
Other options are to buy a new minidv cam which has analogue in, can be
simialr price, gives you new better cam, adn using the analogue in you can
pass through to the pc, capture digiatlly adn edit away.
If only a small amount, try to borrow a cam to use.
Check out www.papajohn.org and see his analogue capture section.

I'm having a different problem and am trying to hook up my Sony Hi8
camcorder to the computer. Can you tell me what wires you have going where?

Why not tell us what wires you have going where and we can say if you are
right or not :) Also add the pc specs, what teh wires are connected from and
to etc. Though if you have a different problem, you may as well add what the
problem is as well........
