Hello:

I want to use Vegas "print to tape" function to copy to the VCR and use my dv953 as the go between.
Not sure how.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Robert, I have a feeling this one is going to get moved over to the Vegas board. :-)) Anyway, if the 953 is like the GS100, Just hook up the firewire port from the computer to the camera and the A/V out from the camera to the VCR. I am not 100% sure this is how it's done. Wish I was at my other PC now. If this is not the way to do it I'm sure Edward T will be able to help. Good Luck!

Robert,

I don't know that particular unit. Does it allow pass-thru? Can you record to tape fine?

Many units have menu options that must be set changing the direction of the firewire connection. Then, if the unit allows pass-thru, the signal should be routed out the analog outputs. My deck does all of this automatically. My XL-1 will also, on output.

Yes, it should work Paul's way. Make sure AV IN/OUT is set for Out in the 953 menus. Take the tape out of the 953 and turn off DV Device Controls in the Vegas Options.

Great! Thanks everyone for your help.

Take care,

Rob Sorbo
