If you dont like the software that came with the camera, did you ask Sony
what other software supports USB capture from that camera? If not, do....In
general USB capture is iffy especially when compared to firewire, which is
what most here have been trying to tell you. SO to rectify the situation,
you could look into a firewire card and cable, they are dirt cheap. If
thats not enough good info to start with, I'll start agreeing with the
others about your behavior.
