I have a Sony PDX10, and am using Adobe Premiere 6.5. Currently working on a Dell Inspiron laptop with 256 RAM/80 GB hard drive (plus an external HD).

I just switched to the PDX10 last year. Used to capture and edit video from my previous vid camera (a Sony consumer level) to the Dell Inspiron, no problem. But with the PDX10, I have not been able to capture any video. I get a message saying "dropped frames" and that it can't locate the capture driver.

Have not had a chance to try capturing on a desktop, and won't be able to try that for some time (currently traveling).

So it seems like my problem could have 3 causes:
1) My Dell laptop's processor isn't fast enough for the PDX10;
2) There's a compatibility problem;
3) The PDX10 needs a different driver, which I don't seem to have.

Any ideas? Any input is much appreciated.

Thanks very much,

Doug

Mr. Doug,

My English is very poor but I'll try help you. I'll Write in portugese.

A PDX10 não precisa de driver para captura se o notebook tiver porta IEEE 1394. Driver só é usado em porta USB. O Windows reconhece a câmara automaticamente, quando a mesma é instalada na porta IEEE 1394. Você precisa de 512MB ou mais, 256MB é muito pouco.

Tenho um notebook ECS A928 celeron 1.7MHZ e funciona bem. A minha PDX10 é ligada na porta IEEE1394 e na porta USB tem um disco externo de 200GB. Só não consigo trabalhar com Adobe Premiere por causa de microfonia, então capturo com Pinnacle Studio 9.4 sem problemas.

Atenciosamente,

Durval
