If you’re capturing HDV footage using something like HDVSplit, or Cineform’s NEOScene, and your HDV camera no longer appears to those programs as a capture device, or even showing up at all; then try changing the Firewire (IEEE 1394) driver to a “legacy” driver. This tends to work in the 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows Vista and the release candidate of Windows 7.

You know, just F.Y.I.

Hadn’t come across HDVSplit before. That’s pretty cool. And how’s Win7 holding up with edits?

HDVSplit is just a basic capture utility, it doesn’t convert the footage from the MPEG2 transport stream into anything else, so it’s only good for getting the footage off tape. I’ve been quite pleased with Cineform NeoScene for getting editable clips.

As for Windows 7, I’ve been using the RC for almost a month now and I like it. The taskbar takes some getting used to, and I don’t really care for the control panel redesign. I’ve been using the 64-bit version and haven’t really had any hardware or software incompatibilities. Just that weird Firewire driver issue.
