Hey, trying to answer this question...
I'm using Vegas 4.0 , their video capture software and a Videonics MXProDV
switcher.
What I've been doing is capturing a show to a miniDV vcr from the firewire
output of my switcher then taking the tape across the room to my editing
station and playing the tape into my editor from another firewire miniDV
vcr.
I've decided this is wasting time and adding extra wear on the machines.
So my question. Before I order a 25' firewire cable or move equipment
across the control room to test my idea, can I just run the firewire from
the switcher to the computer and make a "live" capture. Vegas' capture
software seems to want to take over a camera to capture video so I was
wondering do I need different capture software or will is see an switcher
and just let me record it? It won't have and timecode since it's coming out
of the switcher, so that might be another problem.
Thanks for any help,
Philip Scoggins
