Issues with your DVX

Yes. Not only the DVX, but most above average camcorders will do this.

Is there any reason why Sony so prominently features their "Analog to Digital Pass-Thru." Is there anything different about their's as opposed to the DVX100's or any other manufacturer's cam's?

No, not that I am aware of.

Being a "cinema" camera the DVX has a "passthru" feature with extended options.

Im not in the studio now so i cant meess with em to tell you what they are, but rest assured, the DVX CAN be used as a passthru, as i have been using it alongside my old DS88 in "chain" mode which allows the DVX to trigger a start record on teh external unit if my tape in the DVX is runnin gat teh end, so u have seemless recording on 2 decks on 2 different tapes.

Id sugest you donwload a trial version of vegas and capture using the VidCap tool. this should work

Sony are driven by the market (as most companies are) and this "passthru" is a good selling feature, so they make it easy for novices and pros alike to be able to link an analogue source to their PC with no further HW required.
