help (I am not a newbie, however) I have no sucess using more than one firewire device with Vegas.
scenarios:
Canopus ADVC-100 (for NTSC preview) and a JVC DV/VHS combo (for capture) XP SP2 dual proc 2 gig RAM ---does not work I must unplug the unsed device
Canopus ADVC-100 (for capture) and M-Audio Audiophile Firewire external audio device.
Sony DV camcorder and the JVC DV/VHS combo (selective capture, pick one at a time)
I have not tried the SP2 hotfix but none of this has worked across Vegas4,5 & 6.
I have experienced the total failure to be able use more than one 1394/firewire device across three different machines so it is not one funky install or firewire interface.
Are others doing this successfully? In one case it is just inconvenient to have to disable the unused device on the other I cannot monitor audio and capture at the same time.
I was so hoping that Vegas 6 would address the multiple capture device issue or is this a lame 1394 device issue this XP?
Clearly this is not a bandwidth issue as the bandwidth going to the M-Audio audio box is a fraction of the stream coming from the camera and both together should be less than 25% of 1394 bandwidth.
I would be glad to know that others routinely do this as this would encourage me to invest some time poking around.
thanks in advance
