I just installed Debut 5.25 and am trying to get it to capture video from a Sony HandyCam Digital8 camcorder, which I have connected to the computer by FireWire. When I click on the "capture" icon in the toolbar, I get an error window that says "No valid capture device could be found." When I go to Tools > Options, and click the "Capture Device" radio button, there are no options in the "Name" dropdown.
The camera is a Sony HandyCam Digital 8 tape camcorder, Model No. DCR-TRV520.
The computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad T430 laptop running Windows 10. I am using a StarTech EC13942 2-port ExpressCard 1394a FireWire card, which plugs into the ThinkPad's ExpressCard slot. Cabling between the camera and the FireWire card is FireWire 400.
I had no trouble connecting the computer to an external DVD drive using this FireWire card.
I am wondering where to go from here.
