Hi. I bought the Canon HV20 Hight Definition camcorder. HDV-camcorders are not well supported from Powerdirector 6. I hope, cyberlink will do something for the future. For the moment, I am working with the trial version of Sony's vegas movie studio 7. But I don't like this software very much. I think, HDV-camcorder users have to wait.

Power Director 6.0 DOES recognize Hi Def camcorder. At least I have been successfully capturing video from my HV10. BUT I'm not capturing the sound for some reasons. See my post below.

Hi Jester. My canon HV20 is correctly regocnized as HDV-device. But capturing HDV-content is not possible. I hope, cyberlink will do something. I installed the trial version of ULEAD video studio 11. Capturing of HDV-content functions perfectly.

Daniel,

I just tried to play the HD mpg file, which I captured from my HV10 via Power Director 6.0, on another computer and it played fine so I'm inclining to think that there might be some codec problem w/ my powerDVD/WMP and in fact, the video capturing was perfectly fine.

One thing I do notice is that video capturing was NOT working well until I upped my RAM from 1GB to 2GB... Good luck!

I tried again to capture HDV-content. This time I had success. I don't know why sometimes it funtions and sometimes not. First I did connect my camcorder to the computer. After that, I set the camcorder to play-mode. I started powerdirector 6 and I did use record-mode. The camcorder was correctly recognized as canon HV20 HDV-device. When I press "record" immediately on the user-interface, it doesen't function. But when I am pressing "play" first and then "record", it functions. And I got perfect results!
