Does "plug And Burn" Work With Hd Camcorders?

[robshippy]

I have Creator 2009. My camcorder works fine on the "capture video" function. For "capture video", my sony HC-1 is a recognized capture device.

 

However, my camcorder won't appear/doesn't appear as a Capture Device of "Plug and Burn."

 

Does anyone know why? I was thinking that perhaps HD camcorders are not compatible with "Plug and Burn" as "Plug and Burn" burns to standard DVD format, and not HD.

 

Please help.

And you are connected to the PC by Firewire, correct???

 

Not all camcorders work with Plug & Burn to start with but given the massive amount of data that has to rendered on the fly, may not be possible until CPU speeds triple…

I think that plug & burn only works with DV (tape) camcorders.

By HD do you mean Hard Drive or High Definition?

Perhaps you are right and Plug & Burn does not work with HD camcorders. But when you consider that the program has to capture the video, encode and burn all at the "same" time its not surprising that that is not possible. I used the Plug & Burn one time (in Standard video) but did not like the results and usually I want to do a bit of editing anyway
