Hi Adam, I don't know about windows stuff. but if you have a mac i tried it already with a sony in HDV mode. tried with iMovie and with FCP, the biggest problem i have is that the timecode is really crazy if you aren't recording in tape before you capture live. In iMovie (the version before the more recent one) you don't care about the TC normally so it doesn't matter. The other problem i had is that if i used the sony hdv without tape, the camara entered in demo mode after some time and off course the video capture was a bit crazy after beinh in demo... :)
But more or less you get the job done if you tape it simultaneously. hope it helps even if its a mac experience.
