Iv just been given my parents old vid cam (sony HC dcr-pc106e) and iv installed the drivers and software that comes with it but when i try to capture the vid stream with sonys Video capturing tool if I select the audio source as USB audio Device it messes up the vid stream (goes green and torn) but if i select my sound card as the audio input i dont get any audio from the cam stream but the vid is fine !! ?
So i can either choose to capture the video OR the audio but not both
Found out that the problem was with one of my usb hubs, iv moved the connection to another usb port (on a different hub) and its working.
However, now i cant get the "TIME & DATE STAMP" to transfer with the stream ! iv read up on this and turns out you can't "full stop" , what a load of tosh Sony ! no wonder my parents bought another camcorder and gave this one away.
