[wallyf]

I have ION video 2 pc mkll. When I try to capture i cant get a preview. Have tried to change settings with no luck. The drivers for it 10 but no preview show up.

Thanks wally

could you please explain a little more - you say no preview so does that mean you can capture but cannot see the video when capturing - but can see it after capture.

Version 10 is very very old now and is often only supplied now with a very dodgy device called Easy-cap - is that what you have ?

What are you capturing from - what camera or device - how are you trying to capture - firewire - USB - drag and drop ??

help us to help you Wally - the more you tell us the more we can help

Is there a makers name on your usb device - my search sent me to Roxio - but there may be others

In the specification for the Roxio USB2861 device under system requirements it says :-

Only compatible with Roxio Creator™ 2010, Roxio Creator™ 2010 Pro, Roxio Creator™ 2011 and Roxio Creator™ 2011 Pro, Roxio Creator™ 2012, Roxio Creator™ 2012 Pro, Creator NXT and Creator NXT Pro


I do not see VideoStudio any where in that list - so it looks as though you cannot use VideoStudio - do you have any of those Roxio products - you can capture with that and import to videostudio for editing

It is an Ion Video 2 pc MKll their web site is www.ionaudio.com

I have updated all drivers and it work fine in power director but power director does not have full screen preview only full screen in playback.

Thanks Wally

So where did the USB2861 device come into the picture ???

I note from the web site you linked to that the Video 2 PC MKII unit comes complete with it's own software - it is usually best to use the supplied software to capture to your HDD and then import the video to VideoStudio for viewing and editing

alternatively can you use Power director to capture to you HDD and again import to VideoStudio for viewing and editing.

Thanks for your help

The reason I wanted to use videostudio is that it show previer in full screen mode.

What I do is record Skateing partys and I need to use my laptop to view in preview mode because need to zoom in and out to see the skaters.
With full screen preview and can watch with out looking thru the view in camera

Thanks again
Wally

So you are trying to use the laptop as a monitor really at that point and capture is just convenient there rather than after the show has finished.
