Video Capture Copyright Error

[twr4d]

I just installed VideoStudio Pro X4 on my Dell laptop with 64BIT, Windows 7 Home Premium. I am TRYING to use an EZCAP 64BIT device with my 8MM camcorder connected to it and "Composite" input selected as is appropriate in this connection. VideoStudio loads fine; select Capture tab, fine; click Capture Video, that loads fine with "Capture Video" flashing and waiting to be clicked again to begin capture, fine; I click "Capture Video," the icon changes to "Stop Capture," fine; I press PLAY on my 8MM camcorder; the video and audio begin, and I can see and hear it on my machine for approximately 8 - 10 seconds, then a box pops up with the message, "Unable to capture the file because it is copyright protected. OK" Any ideas what's going on here?

You should use the capture software that came with your capture device. It's hit-and-miss when you randomly mix capture hardware & capture software.

If you have a real EzCAP it came with ArcSoft software. It doesn't come with Corel software, and as far as I know it does not work with Video Studio.

If you have a fake EzCap (or EazyCap) and it doesn't work with the supplied software, return it!

Once you have an audio/video file on your hard drive, you can use Video Studio or other software of your choice for editing and/or DVD/Blu-Ray authoring & burning.
