It sounds like you are capturing via USB. How are you connecting the camera to your computer? If you are not using the Firewire connection then your capture will not work. EMC requires firewire connection for capturing from DV camcorders.
The other possibility is of course that Vista
is causing all your problems.

I couldn't find the DCR-TRV245E at Sony's website. What type of camcorder? Digital 8mm? etc... usually the USB port is for transferring still images or connecting the camcorder to the PC as a 'webcam' (streaming video). Sony uses iLink which is their name for firewire. See below.
You should be using firewire to get highest quality from your camcorder.
