I am in the process of converting analog tapes to dvd and
for some reason it is not recognizing that it is even
there. if someone can send me step by step on how to get
started i would really appreciate it.

using is a sony handycam 72x model # ccd-trv65 (ntsc)./ i

Step 1 Capture video, most likely to .avi
Step 2 Edit movie.
Step 3 convert .avi file to DVD mp2 compatible. Can take hours.
Step 4 Use DVD authoring software to convert the mp2 to DVD format, can take
hours.
Step 5 Burn DVD.
You say it is not recognizing what...? The camera? VCR?, capture device..?
What software are you using.

JIm, I had the same problem. I have the same computer one
thing I found that worked is.

First, I had to make sure that the vaio media servers
were working and installed. Once I did that I could use
click to DVD to input analog video from my vcr.

Right now, I am trying to figure out how to use any other
program to input analog video. I tried movie maker and
it said capture device on recognized or set up right. I
tried Roxio same problem and I tried sonic's program.
They all do not recognize the video capture device. Does
anyone have a clue on this?
