Capturing HD Video using XHA1 at DVinfo.net

Hi All,

So I am editing my first HD project and have ran into a few issues:

-Sony Vegas can not find my camera when I try to upload, when it gives you the option for dv or hdv, I choose HDV and it can't ever find it. I have tried different chords and different computers. Any suggestions?

-I also have CS2/Premiere and Premiere can find it. However, when I uploaded with Premiere it was one big clip and in .AVI form. I'm not sure it it uploaded in SD or HD as I thought all HD gets uploaded in .M2T files. Any ideas?

-Last, is there a program that can detect the scenes and break up the one large clip into the scene breaks?

Sorry if these are dumb questions and thanks in advance!

Sorry about the double post, I didn't think it had worked the first time

I can't answer all of them but to the best of my knowledge: (if I'm wrong please someone correct me)(im sort of new to this myself)

HDV is a Sony only format, since I never used Canon I don't know what format they use.

The only thing that I can say about having one large file vs smaller clip files is have you set your cameras clock? Before I did that to my PD170 it captured as one large file.
