I would say its your computer. You should really go try it on another computer. That way you will atleat know its your computer. I say you need to upgrade all parameters, RAM, HD and CPU!

Arvin - you the man!!! Thanks for the steps on how to recognized your HDV cameras. I had been pulling my hair out for days on this one. I am running Windows XP SP1 and was not able to update to SP2 due to upgrade errors. I can now see my HV20 and captures work great under SP1. Thanks again!

I press the stop botton and nothing is captured...no frames are captured.... I was wondering if anyone knew what the problem is?

Have you tried a different IEEE1394 (Firewire) Cable?

Try to force hdv/dv mode in camera, don't use auto.
