Recently I posted a question about capturing video into movie maker 2. I had
just purchased a cannon ZR85 camcorder, ieee 1394 firewire card and cable.
The problem was when I tried to capture video, audio into movie maker 2
capture window, the picture was scrambled, distored and no sound. Everything
seemed to be working okay, rewinding my camcorder etc., other than the above
problem. I tried everything to fix this problem incluing numerous responses
in this newsgroup for a way to eliminate this problem. I even tried a couple
more video capture software applications and got the same results. The
bottom line is, the card or cable was defective. I sent it back to the
manufacturer and they sent me a new one and it works just fine. Just thought
I would post the above information in case someone may have the same problem
now or in the future. Now to the current question I have. When capturing
video into MM from camcorder, is space being taken up on my hard drive even
before it is saved ?In other words what I want to do is capture video into
MM, make a movie with photos and and video clips, including transitions and
video effects , edit and then capture back into camcorder. I can then make a
DVD with unit I resently purchased directly from camcorder. What I am
concerned with is the space that I incur on my hard drive during this
process. I am new at movie making so please excuse me if I sound stupid !!
Yesterday I was messing around captureing video into mm capture window and
realized that it was taking a lot of MB to accomplish this task, so I
canceled. I did not save anything on my computer. Problem is , yesterday I
started with 55,600 MB on my computer and at the end of the day I had 50,600
MB. What the heck happened to all of those MB's ???? I only made one small
movie and then transferred back into camcorder. Thats a lot of MB's to lose.
I even tried a system restore and ended up with less space on hard drive
Anyone with information about this problem will be deeply appreciated, thank
you, chuck.
