Hi,
I just bought a DVD/VHS deck from Sony VX555.

I am trying to capture VHS tapes. I have a DV-firewire cable and when I go to Premiere CS5 or FCP 7, they both don't recognize the firewire or device. I tried restarting my program and deck but it still doesn't work. I also tried switching firewire inputs and still nothing. Please help.


Specs: MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 4 GB RAM, 300GB HD, 256 MB NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
 
What would be the cheapest method of doing that? It's weird because my deck has a DV output but my software doesn't recognize it.
 
I was sort of hoping I could batch capture in 10 minute increments on my computer. I actually could try to burn it on my dvd. i'll try that in the meantime. I also don't have a TV, I just use my monitors for now.

I don't get why my MAC doesn't recognize the firewire connection from my VHS/DVD deck?

What do you do? You plug your Y,R &W analog cable to your camera and then plug your DV cable to your computer or do you have a DV output out of your VHS?
