I can no longer get Vegas to recognize my camera. When it is plugged in through the firewire, I cannot get controls and it tells me:
Device not available

In the summer when I had the FX1 on rent, this happened as well, and it was fixed with a sunbilt or something driver. Now, this is happening with an HC1, any ideas?
I have tried the jpg render to mpeg, but it is already registered so that is not it...

Hi,

Make sure that your HC1 is in the right mode, Vegas DV capture does not recognize the HC1 if it is set to output HDV, and vice versa... I stubled ovet this a coupel of times in the beginnig.... Might be something else, though...

Check the camera playback mode in the menu and make sure you're matching the correct format.

I had that situation yesterday. I forgot that I'd switched to 'downconvert HD to SD' the night before for a trial run and the next day found myself trying to capture HDV when my A1 was feeding out DV.

No, I think I found out. An errant pin in my firewire cable has shorted out the DVOUT in three cameras - HC1, and two mini dv's. It is the only thing I can think of. I have tried the HC1 and the other two on other computers and they are no recognized. I really don;t know what to do at this point. This is a nightmare.

That short in the cable has caused the ports on those cameras to be fried. Sorry but the cameras will have to be sent in for repair.

Meanwhile throw that cable in the trash and get a new and preferably better quality one.
