Windows Movie Maker/Analog/VCR transfer |
|
|
I have a Sony Vaio with a click to DVD feature that accepts both digital and
analog recordings. I tried using the WMM and it accepts my digital media
but doesn't recognize my analog VCR. I get the "Video Capture Device was not
detected" I followed all the instructions and help information. There's
supposed to be a drop down when you click on "Capture from a vidio device"
and I never get that. I have all the most recent updates and I've done
everything I can think of. The VCR is connected with RCA jacks which is the
same connection used for the click to DVD feature. Would appreciate some
direction. Thanks.

RE: Windows Movie Maker/Analog/VCR transfer |
|

I had the same problem. The solution for me was: 1) Connect VCR properly
(using RCA jacks in back of VAIO). 2) Open Click to DVD - in capture video
there is a drop down box for VIDEO INPUT. Use "Composite video 1". 3)
IMPORTANT: WAIT 5 MINTUES. 4) Then click Capture. It worked for me after
lots of frustration. And finally help from techies at Best Buy.
I see this was written two months ago, but tried to help anyway. Good luck.

RE: windows XP wont recognize the DV camera |
|
|
Hi DaVinci--
Still not solved yet.
I worked with an MS problem solver for a while, but after we got as far as
reinstalling XP on a new disk from scratch, he sorta declared that it wasn't
an XP problem.
I then took the Sony cam down to my local computer store and they agreed to
plug it into a PC running XP--again, it did not get recognized, so they
immediately diagnosed it as a fried i.Link on the cam. They didn't really
have any diagnostic equipment, but suggested I try a video store. which I
did. The computer store says it is a video problem, the video store then
said it was more like a computer problem. Sony, Microsoft, and Asus all say
it isn't their problem. I don;t know but I think this is is FU'N.
Except for the fact that the 'net is full of people, from all over the
planet, who are having DV cam problems on PCs running XP, I would probably
agree that my camera must be the problem. But I'm so sick of getting the
running around that, at this point, I would probably at least agree that my
cam's i.Link is fried, and that since so many others are having the problem,
it must be because the PC/XP 1394 ports are frying the i.Links of some cams.
Anyway, sorry, DaVinci. In this case, no news just means its the same old
bad news.
I tried a Pinnacle DV solution that had a 1394 card and software for $79.00
US. The cam didn't work with it, so I took it back and got a refund.

Did you finally solve the problem? Is there a general solution to this

I have a Sony DCR-TRV16E digital camera and have the same problem. Correctly
working IEEE1394 interface, right cable, but camera unrecognized whatever I
try.
It seems that both Sony and Microsoft do not have a direct solution at the
moment. Am I correct in this or are there other tricks to play to get the
camera recognized and working with my PC?

This looks like a consistenjt problem across the entire chain of vendors--in my case, it is Sony, Microsoft, Asus. I went out on a limb yesterday and flashed a beta BIOS uodate to my dual boot XP/2000 system (built on an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard with built-in Nvidia 1394a ethernet and 1394a 4- and 6-pin ports). Oh how I was praying for my Sony DCR-TRV510 Digital8 cam to come online--I've spent 60 hours doing all the monkey science suggested by the Sony and Asus and uSoft tech reps and the private parties who post in the newsgroups.
I'll bet I'm not the only one around here who has downloaded half a dozen microsft SDKs and software updates,read Knowledgebases that know knothing, and rooted aound for tools and diagnostics to help me get my DV cam working on yesterday's fast PC platform
I spent the wee hours of last night comparing ethernet MAC and 1394 GUIDs against numbers on stickers on the back of the motherboard. Some people are just plain hungry, I guess.
Today I spent my last ounce of resolve trying to install the Win 98 SE (upgrade edition) on an old system, (drumroll please) with a USB floppy drive, because my cam and 1394 card worked fine on that system years ago. I have had it with all this clowning around! A local columnist wrote that he simply plugged in his cam and it worked. Brown-nosing prevaricator is what he is, that's what I think.
I'm going to laugh out loud at the next person who tells me the B-I-G F-R-E-E XP update is probably going to fix it. There's no sign the uSoft is even aware of the problem
'scuse me Soler, I'm not faunching at you, I'm venting because with all this flap about XP/DV dysfunctions, a straight answer would be most valuable. Has anyone gotten results re-installing? I'd really like to know, if that is the answer, what it is that I am missing or not doing along those lines.

Hi there
I have a similar problem. I have a SONY DV TRV12E and my PC(XP) wont recognize it. It works fine with the USB connection but not trough firewire. I have tried everything. An old JVC camera works fine on the computer and my SONY works fine on an old computer(ME)!!! but not with XP. Strange, right? It seems as if My DV needs driver to work through firewire. Really hope you can help.

Re: DV Cam will not show after upgrading to SP2 in XP |
|

Its not a one way street if you had made a restore point before installing
SP2. By default it makes a restore point automatically. So before
re-installing xp, try the option of using System Restore to go back to life
before SP2 .

To adjust the hardware acceleration for all system you can do it from
Control Panel ->Display -> Settings -> Advanced ->Troubleshoot.
It would affect the whole system so it is less advisable.

Which version Windows Media player are you using.
In version 9, go to Tools -> Options -> Performance
and see at the bottom section titled: Video Acceleration.
Reduce the Video Accelration to None to eliminate if it is caused by your
graphics card driver or not. This may hamper the performance though. So
you
may like to restore the video acceleration and finetune other settings:
I cannot try experiments until I get access to the classroom again,
meaning a time when there are no classes in it.
How would this setting affect the other two programs I tried? That is,
I had exactly the same problem with three programs, so it would seem
that whatever is wrong must be something that affects all three
programs -- Windows Media, Real Player, and WinDVD. Does this make
sense?

Re: Transferring video to DVD |
|

When you've finished your editing in MovieMaker, use the Save to My Computer
option and Save it as a DV-AVI file. Then use your third party burning
software to burn the AVI file and convert it to DVD format.

Disable the Antivirus software when capturing.... just remember to re-enable
it afterwards. Some antivirus software has a 'snooze' function so that you
don't forget. I won't use any Symantec product, so I'm unsure if NAV does
or not.

I don't believe your built in graphics card will go as high as that. If you
have a separate AGP slot, it's really time to think of a separate graphics
card, with at least 128mb or RAM, preferably 256mb.

The problem is that I can not change these settings. I have tried using

Re: I need help with .MOV files |

MOV files must be converted into AVI files before burning.
AVI files should generally be OK.
Then you must use third party DVD burning software such as Sonic MyDVD,
Roxio or Nero to create a DVD for standalone applications.
