I had to upgrade to PD14 since I upgraded to Windows 10. Previously I've used a Canon digital camcorder with pass through feature to convert VHS tapes to digital files (using another capture program), and now I want to use PD14 to convert my analog 8 mm tapes to avi files before my ancient analog camcorder dies or the tapes disintegrate. The analog camcorder only has RCA Video & Audio out, and I have a cable that came with my digital camcorder which has RCA plugs on one end and an AV plug on the other end which plugs into the digital camcorder. I have a firewire cable going out from the digital camcorder to a firewire port in my computer (I had it custom built to be capable of capturing and editing.) I'm able to play the analog video through both camcorders and have it appear on the PD14 Capture screen, so the signal is getting there, but when I click Record while the video is playing in PD14, an error message says, "The DV tape is either missing . . . Insert a tape." It will not record anything. How do I get PD14 to capture the signal it is getting instead of looking for a tape in the DV camcorder? I cannot open PD14's Settings to configure them, maybe since it's already recognized what it needs because it has "Canon DV" in the space beneath Settings. The Profile is set to record to AVI > DV > and DV-AVI standard format. Under Capture Preferences, I have no time limit nor size limit. I am not able to select "Non real-time" which the User's Guide says to use. I am not using DV Backup nor any batch capturing. Thanks for your help.
