Trying to capture video from JVC (GR-DVF21) video camera using Dazzle dcv 100 to convert to mpeg.
Get error message; cannot start the capture graph.
How do I fix?

Why on earth would be be using a device like that when you camera is a mini DV model? And the DV format is an excellent one for editing and producing a high quality DVD. You edit in that format, then use Share > Create Video File > DVD to convert it all the DVD-compliant mpeg-2.
However, the only way of capturing such high quality DV is by using firewire. The only problem is that no camera manufacturer of which I am aware ever includes a firewire cable in the bundle -- only a USB cable, thus giving the user the idea that this is what is to be used; or worse, some other device like the Dazzle.
Your camera will definitely have a small, 4 pin Firewire socket -- your manual might call it either an i-Link or IEEE1394 socket. If your computer does not have one, then the good news is that they are cheap and easy to install in a spare AGP slot. Make sure you get the correct cable with it -- one with a 4 pin plug for the camera end and a larger 6 pin plug for the computer end. You will be amazed at the difference in quality!!
