I am trying to capture video from my Sony Digital8 camera. I have been using this for ages and it's always worked fine, but now some of the options seem greyed out in the capture box and I can't set it to capture by size or scene cut. I have deleted some codecs recently, but I have also reinstalled MS7 twice to try and counter that, but it's still not working, is there anything you could suggest?
thanks

Some other capture issues
Hi,
The problem described in this thread I find happens if I change camera and then have to select preview, capture and the remote control buttons come back.
My issue is with manual capture. I have found since installing SP3 that the capture utility regularly freezes the whole system and I have to switch the camera off and on again to clear it.
I rarely capture manually but on a couple of tapes recently I started recording about 10 minutes into the blank tape (sloppy) and auto-capturing is then impossible.
I always shoot a clean timecode throughout a tape so I can create a log sheet (by hand) of the good shots then enter the clip mark-in and outs in device control capture. Then I backup the bcf file and any subsequent dvp files so that if there's an HD failure I can rebuild the project with minimal effort.
It would be nice on the rare occasion where I use manual capture for it to work!
