You say your PC recognizes the camera (you see some visual cue and/or
get an audible alert when the system "sees" the camera or you
disconnect it) but does Studio Ultimate DIRECTLY control the camera or
is suppose to?

If it works anything like Sony's Vegas you need to set up (just one
time) linkage with OCHI Compliant IEEE 1394 (Firewire). In Vegas this
is done from a drop down menu under Options/Preferences/Video Devices.
The camera can then be controlled from Vegas directly or with a
separate capture applet. I'll assume Studio does something similar.

Until you establish proper handshaking between the video editing
software the hardware you want to control via the Firewire connector
things won't work right.

I was looking on the Pinnacle web site and they say your product is
Vista Certified, and I also noticed they have already issued a
upgrade. Have you installed that?
