I have the same problem, I'm using a sony dcr-trv351 eith USB connection, in
the preview I can see the image (input) but when I try to start encoding the
input and output screen are black, but the audio works fine.

What's wrong???

I testes on two pcs, one is windows 2000 server SP4 and all patchs, second
is windows XP PRO SP2.

thanks for your responde.
