VideoStudio 11 Plus
I am attempting to capture video from a Sony GV-D200 Digital 8 VCR using the Firewire port. VideoStudio recognizes the VCR and can control rewind, and play (but does not display any video during play). When I begin the capture, I see a brief display of the video on the screen, then get a "Capturing failed. The file created is corrupted and unusable. It will be automatically deleted." error. I get the same error when I use any of the 3 applications (VideoStudio Editor, Movie Wizard or DV-DVD Wizard). I tried several tapes with the same result. I can capture video from the same VCR and tapes using Windows Import Video.
I am using an HP Pavilion dv9310us Notebook PC running Vista. It has 2GB Ram and 50GB of free disk space.

Nope. Sorry. There's a bug in VS11 which will not allow it to capture from a source which involves analogue video tape. I am assuming you are using your Sony to capture older analogue 8mm tapes...? I try the same thing using a Sony DCR-TRV480E digital 8 camera, inserting my old tapes for capture via firewire, and have exactly the same result in VS11 on my own Pavilion dv9203tx running Vista Home Premium. People using stand-alone Firewire capture devices and those using their digital mini-DV cameras as pass-through devices from either a VCR or analogue video camera report the same thing.
We understand that Corel/Ulead is currently working on a patch for this and other problems which have emerged with VS11. No idea when it will emerge though, since they have known about this particular problem for over a month now...
It does the same thing, by the way, with VS11 on an XP computer, though VS10 captures just fine. It seems that in bringing out VS11, Corel changed the capture plug-in which had previously been used, and the new one is for some reason incompatible with analogue-sourced material.
