wierd hdv capture problem - vegas 8

.I was able to capture HDV/DV from my sony A1U for the past couple of days using vegas 8's capture console but now its not working. I can still control the camera through the capture console but when i play back video/capture video, the preview remains blue and all tho the time code is running, nothing gets captured. I'm capturing using firewire 400. any ideas on why this happens / how to fix it. this is the 2nd time I've run into this problem and it was corrected with a re-install of windows and vegas :badputer::badputer::badputer:

i tried going back and doing it with vegas 7 but the problem persists.


HDVSPLIT recognizes the camera but encounter the same problem when i try to capture. the capture runs for 1-2 seconds and then stops. the log file reads that no information was relieved from the camera.

Then the problem is with your Windows, not with Vegas. I have heard of this problem times and again, with other cameras too. It seems to be a Windows/firewire driver bug, NOT a camera or Vegas problem. Even if you go to Vegas 7 you won't have this fixed. Do you use Vista btw?
 
EDIT: I re-installed the driver and it works. thanks for the advice.




Im running XP media center... how do i solve this? re-install firewire driver? find a new one?
