Unfortunately this workaround didn't work for my setup.  Wish I knew where the problem lies; camera, firewire driver, OS, Studio 12...but alas, I'll never know as will have to find another machine to use for import.

Bob, the problem you reference is very similar to mine (see thread on canon HV20), although i'm using Windows 7 64bit.  I successfully captured once, popped in the next tape and it would no longer work.  Put the old tape back in that was successful and it too would no longer work.  Nothing I have tried since that time - and I've ...

Yes, I am using 64 bit Windows 7. 

Thank you for the reply Marc.  With the camera connected I uninstalled the AV/C driver, then uninstalled the firewire driver.  Same problem.  I also read on another post that someone was having a similar problem and fixed it by disabling onboard Realtek sound.  That didn't work either.  I also tried AM Capture and got an ...

Daninvan, did AM Capture work?  I am having the exact same problem as you, but I'm using a Canon HV20.  It is also a tape based HDV camera.  Same exact symptoms.  I tried AM Capture but got some strange error that I've not been able to decipher.  Might be something related to Direct X, but haven't finished researching the ...

I was able to capture HD video one time to an m2v file, but the next tape would not capture.  I get a blank capture screen and it will not create a valid m2v file.   I tried the original tape I was successful with and it didn't work a 2nd time.  I did not make any changes to my computer betwen captures - only a few minutes ...

You could try burning to an ISO and then using another program to do the physical burn.

I am using latest version of Studio 12.  Have been a Studio user since release 8 and burned many projects.  I was making a very simple slide show with a couple of Youtube videos included.  30 minutes long.  Technically not very complex compared to what I've done in the past.  I was unable to render the project, always ...

Good to hear you had success Holsie.  By chance, do you know the maker of the chipset on your firewire card?  Also, in Device Manager, what does it say for your driver?  Is it OHCI, TI OHCI or AGERE OHCI?  I'm thinking the chipset may be part of the puzzle.

I am running win 7 and can't get it to work.  Someone made a comment that it didn't work under Vista either so just trying to verify.  Anyone have experience with this?
