Can any-one Help Please as when I capture video from my vhs Camcorder all I
get a blank preview window which is annoying.
The video captures fine & plays back OK and Everythink else seems to work OK.
When I use other software there Preview window works fine.

Thanks

Ian
 
Hi Ian,
What brand and version of capture device are you using, and what version
of the device driver are you using? There are video cards which do not
output the correct information on the preview output from MovieMaker to be
able to display them. However it is possible to set a REGKEY to be able to
view the capture stream in the preview window, you just need the name of the
driver. If you can provide me with the device information, I will try to
find you the right information for the regkey.
Thanks,

Sorry for my double answer ... (I am here the first time)
I have exactly the same problem: (translated from German, my laptop is german)
my driver is legacy-video capture (sounds like the microsoft standard?)
"driver for WDM-Video for Windows (win32)"
driver instance: ROOT\MEDIA\MS_MMVCD
(my laptop has XP is 6 months old)

does that make sense ? (problem is preview does not work, capture is ok)
 
I found a device in available devices:
713x BDA Analog Capture
(but I could not find where I can get more information about it ...)
 
sorry, are you saying you are not able to preview on the screen while
moviemaker captures from your camcorder, but the capture works anyway ? did
you see the checkbox that to turn off/on video preview while capturing ??

That sounds like a good solution, but in my german version I cannot find
this checkbox. Please give me a hint where is this checkbox ??
(I see only 3 checkboxes on the capture screen: make clips / switch off
sound / time limit)
