just picked up a used (2yr) Sony vx2100 and really love the ease of editing through real player via windows xp
however I have 2 unresloved issues....
1. cant hear the audio when Im rendering - its fine after its captured but when Im scrolling through, no audio (no mic or headset is attached to anything)
2. cant fast fwd or fast rewind through real player editing box - I CAN stop /pause/ record/frame advance and do everything else (the fast fwd and fast rewind can be done manually through the camera buttons though its a bit of a hassle)

am I missing a setting on one or both issues?

Bill, Common not to hear audio while rendering with editing apps.

Im unsure about the features that realplayer editor has. I assure you though that real player editor isnt a higher end application. I would assume it is severely lacking in its feature set.

You may consider a higher end more professional application with your new higher end camera.
 
Fred's right - with a camera like that you'd be much better equipped with something like Pinnacle Studio (roughly $100). The apps that come with Windows and other software are usually not meant for anything but basic home video editing, and therefore have their limitations and bugs if used for anything more. I've heard the free Avid software is decent, but I've never tried it myself. Might be worth a shot for your needs:

Check eBay for older copies of Pinnacle or Premiere, you might find a good deal there.
 
thanks for the pinnacle referral several have mentioned it - actually I probably shouldn't even use it to render video truth be known....

seems like a stresser to fast fwd and rewind over and over, no? I'm assuming most here use their camcorders to render,no? If so has anyone had an expensive failure from doing such? Im probably not going to be making that many movies - maybe 6 - 8hrs a month (maybe thats alot?)

my old VRC camcorder had no trouble but maybe todays equipment is more sensitive?
 
buy a cheapie dv cam at next circuit city or best buy sale and use it as a capturing deck.
Money well spent
