I tried to capture a HDV-clip with Powerdirector 6. The camcorder is correctly recognized as a HDV-device. But I was not able to capture. The HV20 is not on the list of the supported HDV-camcorders. I hope, Cyberlink will do something for the future.
For the moment, I'm using ULEAD video studio 11 for capturing HDV-content.

Id read elsewhere that PowerDirector doesn tplay ball with the HV20. I use v5 for my edits (nothing fancy) and its oblivious to most things :D

I use the PowerDirector v6, to capture my HDV from tape. However, only version Deluxe build 6.000.1515 works correctly.

In order to make a capture, you must stop [] the tape and press REC to begin the capture. If you press REC while the tape are playing the capture fails.

PowerDirector creates a very high quality HD .MPG (MPEG2, 25000kbps, 29.970 interlaced) directly. Is a very handy program, but not such robust.

I cannot seem to get Cyberlink PowerDirector 6.0 to recognize my HV20 and capture the video for editing.

It recgnizes my microphone for sound recording and the DVD drive.... but not my camera :hv20-smilie51:

I run MS Vista, connect to the camera from my computer via firewire and IEEE1394 connection

Any Suggestions?!

This may not help b/c I'm using PD 7 Ultra with my HV20 & I have to set the output up as follows:
Play/out setup 1: playback-HVD, 16:9, set to output: Auto,16:9, Play/out setup 2: comp out 1080i, DV Output-HDV/DV.

It captures, but freezes and pixalates for a split second every 5-10 secoonds.

I used PD6 with my HV20 and was a beta tester for PD7. Neither has issues with my HV.

I have the same problem capturing HDV from a Canon HV-30 using PowerDirector 6.5. The "captured" video has consecutive dropped frames, pixalated patches, waves, and poor interlacing. I believe it is a problem in PowerDirector, since when the same tape is "captured" in another program, such as Windows Movie Maker for Vista, the quality is first-rate without any of the aforementioned problems.

Any solutions?

Many thanks to all in advance.
