@ericlnz Hi Eric, As a user of Vegas and other consumer software I've never had reason to dream about such a feature. What purpose does it serve? On occasions that I've played with a MEP trial I tried the multiple timelines but couldn't see any use

RE: Could not connect to selected device

@Gita-Lalezari Ah ha. Same as mine (I have an HV20). Have your captured your video in DV or HDV? You can tell which format by playing the tape and checking the top of the LCD: it will say DV or HDV. If it is HDV, you'll need to use the "HDV camera"

Thanks for your reply. It seems like even WinDV is giving me issues. It does not want to recognize Microsoft Dv Recorder. It only shows the Cannon mini dv. Any suggestions on how I can tackle this problem? I appreciate it. Thank you. Gita
