I gotta problem with a Sony camcorder model DCR-VX1000 trying to get it to
act as a VCR. I want to record stuff onto its DV tape using the firewire
connection. Page 54 of the maunal clearly shows connecting two camcorders
(using the DV in/out ports) together you can use one as a player and one as
a recorder to do tape copying and even video editing.
I am trying to play video on my PC and record it onto the camcorder using a
firewire cable but it won't work. I am using adobe premier pro to play the
avi file and this program does output it's content to firewire and I know
it's working okay. The camcorder starts recording okay but the viewfinder is
black and there's no image on it or on the tape. I've been through the menus
on the camcorder and no-where does it say you have to switch the camcorder
to VCR mode. According to the manual the camcorder should put itself into
'DV in' mode as soon as it detects a signal being played down the firewire
cable but it doesn't work that way with my Sony DCR-VX1000. It may be that
it will only work if it recognises the signal as coming from another Sony
camcorder but I'm only guessing here. I've tried sending an e-mail to Sony
but heard no reply. Thanks for any help.
