Alrighty. I've had Vegas 7 (running 7d now) since it came out last year, and I've loved it. I have a Sony HDR-HC3 HDV camcorder, and I've captured and edited HDV right there in Vegas. It's been great.
Until now.
I recently reformatted my computer (WinXP Pro, SP2), and I plug my camcorder in via Firewire, and the the computer recognizes the camera, as does Vegas, to an extent. When I want to capture HDV, I go to File > Capture, and then I click on the devices button , and select IEEE1394/MPEGIIsomething. Nothing happens. The device drop down slot (below where I pick the device) is supposed to let me pick my HC3, but it doesn't. It just stays blank, and won't let me pick. I have never had this happen to me before.
As a note, I CAN capture footage using Vegas's external capture tool, but the DV it produces drops frames like crazy. I've never had that happen either.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I tried reinstalling Vegas, but the problem still exists. I have to do a project in HD whose deadline is coming up quick.
Thank you very much for your time and thoughts.
