I had some probs with the Sony vx 1000e under Windows xp when i tried to caputre it always gave some strange picture out. After a long search on the Internet i found out that XP cant Differentiate between Sony vx 1000 which is NTSC and Sony vx 1000e which is PAL. So someone told me to install Service Pack 1 for XP and b00m now its working. I quess Microsoft fixed the problem with the Service Pack.(posted 7790 days ago)
