Just installed and been trying to capture VHS to computer or DVD. First I had no sound and it only said it was recording 11 min. of it??? Tried anyway and stopped it just shy of the 11 min. Played back ok with no sound. Found a patch for sound and istalled it. Tried again and it said I could record for 28 sec. Beats me! I can hear the audio but at least the first attempt had none. Am using an AverMedia Pro PCI card. The Ulead came bundled with it. At any rate it is now telling me that I have "No itiallization error and the file it was trying to make is corrupt and would be erased. I'm sure It's me and not the program. Just some conflict I guess. Would like to use it if anyone can help. Thanks in advance.

I received the same error (I believe the code is [13011:1:2]) after I upgraded to Windows XP. Video capture worked fine in Windows 2000. I emailed Ulead Tech Support and received a reply late last night. I haven't had a chance to try their suggestions yet, and I am skeptical. Below is what they said:
------------------ Please download and install the Mpeg Vio Driver Update Patch from this
link: http://www.ulead.com/tech/dmf/dmf_ftp_dmf2.htm
*Please launch Windows Explorer and go to tools\folder option\advance
setting to check "show hidden files and folders".
Please copy all files from the folder
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ulead Systems\Mpeg"
to "C:\Windows\System32" directory.
*When capturing video, try changing the capture plug-in
1. Go to the capture video window
2. Go to "Capture Settings --> Change Capture Plug-in..."
3. Use "Ulead DirectShow capture plug-in" (for AVI).
-------------------
I hope to try these steps tonight and will post a status of results, but I thought perhaps you might see this today and give the suggestions a try.
Tried Ulead Tech Support's suggestions last night - still same error. I installed Video Studio, which also came with AverMedia video capture card. It captures video fine - just as it did with Windows 2000. I think I'll capture with Video Studio and forget Movie Factory.
I fixed my Movie Factory. I oriiginally installed both Video Studio and Movie Factory, but had to change Video Settings to use Video Studio. Decided I didn't need it so uninstalled it. That's when Movie Factory started giving me the initiallization error. I never gave it any thought. The other day i reinstalled video studio and tried Movie Factory again and it works fine. So I figure Movie Factory needs something thats in Video Studio. Merely deleted the icon for Video Studio, don't use it, and all is ok. Might try Movie Factory now that you have Video Studio back in. Let me know if that also works as mine did.
Thanks!
