I HAVE A HVR-HD1000E SONY CAMCORDER WHICH I BROUGHT OVER 3YRS AGO, I AM JUST A BEGINNER AND I STILL CANNOT WORK OUT HOW TO CAPTURE VIDEO TO MY COMPUTER WHICH IS AN WIN XP PRO, CAPTURE CARD DV/AV EXPERT V-STREAM.

WHEN I CONNECT CAMCORDER TO COMPUTER WITH ILINK FIRE WIRE AND USING SOFTWARE POWER DIRECTOR 3 PROGRAMME TO CAPTURE VIDEO. WHEN I PRESS CAPTURE SOFTWARE ON COMPUTER IT DOES NOTHING AND SOMETIMES IT SHOWS A STILL CLIP BRIEFLY, IT DOES NOT PLAY AND WHEN I PRESS RECORD IT GIVES ME A ERROR MESSAGE APPNAME: POWERDIRECTOR.EXE APPVER 3.0.0.128 MODNAME PDDITLYUY2 AX MOD VER 2101715 OFFSET 0005CD7.

AND ON MY CAMCORDER PLAYBACK VIDEO IMAGE FREEZES I HAVE TO CLOSE THE APPLICATION WHICH SHUTS DOWN THE PROGRAMME AND MY CAMCORDER PLAYBACK STARTS TO WORK AGAIN. i AM SO FED UP WITH THIS, CAN ANYONE HELP ME? DO I NEED A DIFFERENT CAPTURE CARD AND IF SO WHICH ONE OR WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM AND RESOLUTION.

THANKS PAUL

Hi robowork

                      I do not know the speed rating of your computer or wether you have a separate partitition for

                      video on your computer. If you try to record video on your main 'C' drive windows functions

                      always interfear with video recording which results in dropped frames in the recording.

                      However, in your case I think your computer processor is not fast enough to handle the

                      recording which is very demanding on you computer and since the recorded picture freezes

                      immediately you start recording. It looks as though your computer is just not fast enough.

                      If you post the details of your computer details and memory fitted, I may be help you further.

                      The HVR-HD1000E was a superb camcorder and gives excellent results being top of the

                      Sony range in its day.
