I have used VS7 for years successfully. After a hiatus I tried again to capture video from a VHS and suddenly the program gave me the following message: "Unable to switch to Capture Mode. Check if your video capture driver is working properly. Failed to build a preview graph" Obviously I couldn't capture.
After the installation of the ATI All in Wonder 9600 series board and downloaded and installed the latest ATI Multimedia Software Version 9.16 (85.3 MB posted Dec 13,2006) which suppose to take care of all ATI's bugs I am unable to capture with VS7. By the way, ATI's tech support sucks.
Sorry to be advised that Ulead doesn't tech support VS7 anymore as "absolute", being 79 I do not wish to install and esp. relearn a new version. VS7 did everything I needed.
So can anyone advise? Thank you.

VideoStudio7 will not go into Capture Mode.

I have no idea what's gone wrong...
Your All-In-Wonder card should have come with it's own capture software. It's almost always best to use the capture software that's especially made to work with your hardware. Some capture software and capture software just don't "play well together".
Once you have a digital video file on your hard drive, you can use the video editing and DVD authoring/burning software of your choice.

Upgrading to VS11 won't help anyway. Apparently it can't capture analog video at all! (Although, it is rumored that they are working on a fix.)Sorry to be advised that Ulead doesn't tech support VS7 anymore as "absolute", being 79 I do not wish to install and esp. relearn a new version.

Re: VideoStudio7 will not go into Capture Mode.
Charlesh,
In previous years, this error message was a signal that you need to download the latest driver from the Web site of the company that manufactures your video display adapter in addition to any DirectX updates.
Have you tried that?
Also, are you sure you got the latest driver?
I suspect it might still be the problem, in your case.

Thank you Jerry;
This is what I thought and I am in fight with ATI's Tech Support over this. The proper capture driver suppose to be in their latest software (ATI Catalyst) but downloading and installing it doesn't help. Now I am waiting for the latest reply of theirs, because I already installed their newest drivers in vain.
But I wonder if I could use some other capture method (like Windows or? ) and transfer the AVI or mpeg file into the UVS7 to edit and burn. Any advise?
