Hi,
I think ive been a bad spoiled brat. After more than 3 years of fuzz free editing with Vegas its finally giving me a dose of its underestimated quirks; the video capture.
Ive managed to get used to periods of 'device not detected' but thats it, never had anything so serious that recycling camera, rebooting and even a reinstall had not solved. Im a contented Vegas user.
Now its again the video capture. Im in the middle of a project and just need to add some footage but somehow the capture window didnt open. Puzzled, i looked in the preferences and found external videocap application was checked (default?) so i unchecked it. i knew something is still wrong when i powered the cam ( which normally opens a new project) nothing happened and the capture window didnt show up. I clicked 'capture video' from the file menu and it opened the window but telling me 'no device selected' . I opened device prefs and to my surprise, the drop down doesnt offer OHCI complant IEEE 1394 DV device from the choices. It has 'NONE', (which is checked at the moment) 'IEEE 1394 /MPEG2-TS device' and ' Blackmagic Design Deck Link' as options on the list.
I have tried all my usual workarounds; recycle camera power, reboot, reinstall Vegas 6. and nothing seems to do it. Ive also checked if the camera is detected and it is highlighted OHCI complant IEEE 1394/DV in the 'preview device' and 'print device' dropdowns. Really weird.
to anybody who had the same problem before, i really would appreciate it if you could share how you got out of this fix .
