Cayman,

Have a look at the message I posted today. It might still be your cable as I
found that the 4-pin connector end isn't always proper.

Cheers,

DaVinci

Hi Skookum,

Solved the problem today. Did you check the 4-pin connector end of the
cables you used? You have to make sure that the 4 electrical pins are as
close as 1 mm to the edge of the shield. Many cables have their pins too far
inside the connector housing and therefore don't connect at all or inproperly
to the camera.

Please have a look at the message that I posted today.

Cheers,

DaVinci

Hi Dork,

I'm using a Sony camera together with an Audigy 2 ZS as well and found today
the solution. In my case it was the 4-pin connector end of the cable. Your 4
electrical pins should be as close as 1 mm to the edge of the shield. In many
cases the pins are far more inside the connector housing causing connection
problems. Please have a look at the mail I posted today.

Cheers,

DaVinci

Hi TraceySB,

There are some problem with the 4-pin connector end of the cable and Sony
digital cameras. As the electrical contacts in the female connector on your
camera are quite deep inside the camera body you need a firewire cable with
the pins very close to the edge of the connector shield. There are cables
where the 4 electrical pins are too far inside the connector housing on your
4-to-6 pins firewire cable. You need to check for this, it did solve my
problem immediately. Also check my message posted today on this subject.

Cheers,

DaVinci

Hi DaVinci

Thanks for your suggestion. I don't think that it will work in my case as
prior to SP2 being installed, it worked fine using the Sony cable, and also
the camcorder is aware that it is plugged in, as it shows "DV IN" when I plug
in the cable. I also have a Belkin cable and have compared the 2 cables. I
see what you mean about the pins, the ones on the Sony cable are much closer
to the edge of the housing than the Belkin. Any more suggestions? Thanks

Had had the same problem.

I had to reinstall the OS from scratch for my Camera to work.
Un-installing SP2 did not work at all.

The alonely time the SP2 uninstall work was after a fresh install.
I mam not sure but a I think after a couple of security patches are
loaded the SP2 does not uninstall cleanly.

Sorry..

I have had the exact same problem as Sia when I have attempted to capture
video via MM2 from VHS (select "Capture Movie from Device"; "Best Quality";
then det the error message "An interface has too many methods to fire events
from").

I have been using Belkin Videobus II with MGI Videowave 4 software and while
this works, it only captures video in AVI format which a) chews up heaps of
memory and b) results in poor quality productions when converted into mpeg or
other file formats using MM.

The REALLY REALLY ANNOYING thing is that MM1 used to work perfectly in
capturing directly to mpeg-1 format via my Videobus, and mpeg-1 is very
economical on memory and better quality than wmv or mpeg files produced from
captured avi.

I would keep to MM1/SP1 but SP2 with its antivirus/antiworm features is a
virtual neccessity these days to save your system from getting attacked.

I have tried the following other software to no avail so far:
-Nero 6 and PowerProducer 2 don't support capture on my system.
-Roxio (which bought out MGI) Easy DVD and CD Creator 6 will capture in mpeg
2 format without sound (!)

Papajohn (www.papajohn.org) seems to suggest purchasing Pinnacle as a
possible solution to this problem. Frankly, I don't want to spend another
cent on software or transfer devices until I know its going to work!

I make this post for two reasons:

1. To clarify whether firewire will fix the problem for sure (I already have
Videobus which does the job with the right software), and

2. In the hope that Microsoft will issue a patch or additional capture
templates etc for MM2 to permit capture in mpeg (1,2 or 4 - I don't care)
format.

My system specs:
Model: Dell Inspiron 1100 notebook with inbuilt video capture card
Optical drive: NEC DVD+RW ND-6100A
Operating system: XP Professional with Service Pack 2
Transfer device: Belkin Videobus II

Read www.papajohn.org again about going back to MM1, you can run this along
side mm2.1 that comes with SP2, and you can use it as before.

speaking of graphics driver; ProSavage DDR shares 32mb from 256mb RAM, if I
were to add another 256mb would windows be able to allow an additional 32mb
from that memory bank too for a total of 64mb, and if so, how would you do
that? windows xp
