    I have a Canon analog camcorder, the Sony TRV-17, a Belkin firewire card and software for Nero, Roxio and Sonic MyDVD. I am able to play the Hi8 video to the computer by connect the analog camcorder to the Sony DV camcorder and setting the video to pass through to the computer. I then go to any of the 3 software and can see the video playing. But as soon as I hit the capure button it only capture the first frame and then I guess it start trying to capture video from the Sony DV camcorder. How can I use the Sony as a passthru and which of these software would be do the trick? Or do I need to buy a different software. I have a lot of Hi8 videos and dont want to have to convert each one to DV first.

    Specifics:
    Canon ES970
    Sony TRV17
    Belkin 3 port firewire PCI-card
    Nero Express 3
    Roxio Easy Media Creator 7
    Sonic MyDVD Deluxe 5

    Thank you for your time,

    Jack
