Hery guys I'm new here and stumbled across this forum when searching for a fix to a problem I have.
I have a Sony DCR-TRV250 camcorder. I recently setup my brother-in-law with a DVD burner so he can make DVD's of some of his Mustang racing videos he taped with my camcorder.
He has a P4 machine w/ Windows 2000 and we are using Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 to capture the video via USB. After it has been captured, there is no sound?? Any ideas, on what could have happened?? Or how to fix it??
He does not currently have a firewire connection, but I see no reason why there wasn't any sound after we streamed it from the camcorder to the PC via USB. We are going to try it again tomorrow, but I'm looking for some ideas on what may have happened or what I can do to fix the problem.
Make sure you have a separate audio connection. Video and Audio signals ususally don't travel in the same conduit together. I have had success in using a firewire.
Berny, that is incorrect. I meant to post since I figured out my problem. There was a setting in my capture program that had the sound source set to the PC's sound card as the default. I had to change that from the sound card to the camcorder and everything captured perfectly with sound. There is no need to run a separate audio line to the PC. At least that was in my case.
Stuart - What program are you using to capture your video? Take a look in some of the settings to verify your audio source. Make sure it is set to your camcorder, not your PC's sound card.
I used two or three different programs while capturing and in each one I had to change the audio source. I used both USB and Firewire and I did not need to use a separate audio cable for anything.
