Canon HV20 captures fail in MF6+

Has anybody found a way to directly capture from the Canon HV20 HDV camcorder into MF6+ ?

The capture option does not show up for an HDV camcorder at all, although Sony HC3 and other Sony HDV camcorders) workj fine.

Thankjs in advance for any ideas other than doing an external capture with HDSplit or some other external capture tool.

I meant to say either MF6+ or VS10+, both of which I own, and neither of which work with the Canon HV20.

Maybe you should try posting this question in the Movie Factory forum.

Thanks for replying Jeff. I already did, and hope that replies may take place in either or both places.

There is a patch for VS10 to capture from the HV10, maybe that can apply to the HV20.

You may also need to have the regular VS patch installed.

etech6355,

Once again you have proven your great knowledge....and my problem is solved!
The Ulead HV10 Canon patch for VideoStudio 10 fixes both VS10 Plus as well as MF6 Plusfor the HV20 camcorder as well. I am entirely delighted that both programs are fixed with a simple 4 megabyte download. I am a bit surprised that MF6 Plus which only came out recently, long after the HV10 was introduced, still not only requires a patch to work with the HV20 but furthermore can only be installed if you also happen to own and have VideoStudio 10 installed. This is a real problem for MF6 Plus buyers who want to capture from their Canon ca,corders and have no way to apply the patch unless they also own VideoStudio 10.
Thanks so very much for the recommendation.

Larry
