Signal Conversion Function

[Guest]

I have a SONY HD90 and I'm trying to use the Signal Conversion Function to
record A/V signals from a VCR through the SONY and over firewire to my
computer.
That part works fine and Movie Maker displays the VCR image in the preview
window.
The problem is that when I tell Movie Maker to capture the video, it tells
the SONY to start playing it's digital tape and it starts recording the stuff
from the SONY tape and not the VCR.
Is there a way of just capturing the video coming in through the firewire
without Movie Maker telling the SONY to play it's tape?

Thanks,
Russ

Hello,

Remove the tape !!!

This was a known problem with Movie Maker version 2.0 whereby due to a bug
the pass through feature was broken.

Either upgrade to MM 2.1 (by installing SP2) or use some other tool to
capture. I recommend:

WinDV http://windv.mourek.cz/
or DVApp http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=DVapp


Hope it helps
