That's what I have in my system but it doesn't want to recognize the camera. This is weird because when I tried to put in a custom setup, it had the A1 listed in a pulldown menu as a connected device. So I know the computer is seeing it, however it just won't let me capture.

If I put in that the camera is a DVCProHD 1080p device it can control the camera and doesn't give me any trouble, however it wont video in my capture window.

Would something like drop-frame and NDF recording/capture settings mix this up at all? Perhaps the lines are getting crossed here somehow, but I feel that the camera should still be recognized.

Thanks in advance.
