Capture from camcorder does not work

Post by kafka »

I am using VideoStudio Pro X4 which I have used successfully for several years. I have been trying to capture video from my Sanyo camcorder but with strange results. after an hour or more of capturing I end up with four audio files and one video file (uvs170307-001.mpg) but no actual video appears and there doesn't seem to be anyway of seeing the movie. I have attached a file describing the video details. Note also that I specified PAL but the video is in NTSC format. Corel Support can't help me because hey no longer support this version af VideoStudio Pro. In the past I haven't encountered this difficult.

ALSO: I have been experiencing difficulty in opening the program. Although I have uninstalled and re-installed it several times I get the error "Corel has encountered an unspecified error and will close". Although I successfully installed it this morning and captured video as per the above, the next time i tried to open it I got the above mentioned error message. Should I abandon VideoStudio Pro X4?

Hi

What type of Sanyo camcorder?
You mention capturing over an hour, so I assume a tape based cam, maybe Mini-DV
Can you give details

Also --- how are you connecting the can to pc, if it is MiniDV you should be using Firewire IEEE Connection?

I am using Windows 8. I haven't done an operating system update recently, though a considerable time has elapsed between its working and not working. My Sanyo camcorder is ac Xacti AVC/H264. I connect the camera to the computer via USB. The camera is neither tape based nor miniDVD, rather it uses a 16gb memory card.

You should not require to capture from the memory card. Simply use Windows Explorer and copy the video files from the memory card to your hard drive.
I am assuming that Windows Explorer sees the memory card as an external device.
