Can't capture or preview video

Post by aus stretch »

I can not capture or preview video using my Canon MV 800i video camera.

Using Ulead video studio 5 dv (or any other capture program, I tried 3 others) They all will control my camera fast forward, rewind, play ect but none will display or capture any video.

My computer is an IBM CLONE, 2.8 gig, 512mg ram, onboard video and sound on a K7 motherboard, with a 3 port PCI FireWire card installed.
Operating system is Windows XP Pro.

Any ideas would be greatfully received
:lol:

Try WinDV, it is about as basic as it gets, and has minimal system requirements. The only thing it requires are a working DirectShow subsystem in DirectX (for both the capture and preview).

If that doesn't work, I would try reinstalling DirectX 9.0c and your display drivers.

Thanx 4 the reply.

Tried Windv... :( Same result. Cant preview and the saved file 0 frames and obviously cant be viewed.

Re installed video drivers and upgraded Directx to 9.0c.

Tried again..... :evil: Same result.

Removed and reinstalled firewire card. No Change.

My computer is recognising my camera and can control everything on the camera itself but no video.

Am pulling my hair out.

Open up Control Panel -> Network Connections and see if a 1394 network connection or bridge is listed. If it is and you don't use Firewire for networking, uninstall it.

I also just read about a DV capture problem when a program called "Morgan Stream Switcher" (a Windows Media Player addon) is installed. If you have that on your system, try removing it.

have done all of this and still no joy.

I put the firewire card back into my old system and it works fine.

Slow, but fine.

Just can't put my finger on whats going on.

Tried unistalling my video drivers and booting with a basic vga driver, no good.

I'm not a tech and have no further ideas HELP!!!!

Try downloading Sherlock 2.0 and see if any of your codecs are broken, especially if you ever installed one of those idiotic codec packs -- they tend to cause lots of problems.

Have tried every thing I know (which isn't much) :oops: with no luck.

I've run sherlock and found no broken codecs.

Have included thelist at the bottom of this message.

means nothing to me but maybe you can see something

BTW Thanks for your help with this.
