PROBLEM:
I keep getting the following error message when attempting to use Movie
Maker 2.1 to catpure VHS to DVD - " THE VIDEO DEVICE CANNOT BE USED A THIS
TIME BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN AN ERROR WHEN STARTING THE DEVICE:.

OBJECTIVE:
To record my old VHS tapes, full length, to DVD for safekeeping and also to
create MPEG-2 movie clips from these VHS tapes for import/editing with mixed
photo/video productions.

BACKGROUND:
I have a Dell XPS Media Center packaged PC.

I have Media Center Edition (MCE) 2004 with the ATI e-Home Wonder PCI TV
Tuner card installed.

I am wired from ny VCR's (JVC HR-3912U) S-Video OUT to the S-Video IN on the
tuner card and the L/R Audio OUT is wired to the tuner card with single stero
jack. The VCR is wired to my cable box using the appropriate S-Video & L/R
Audio wiires to receive TV programs (RF is disconnected). After starting MCE
MyTV, I receive pciture/audio just fine so I assume nothing is wrong with
the tuner card.

I recently downloaded Service Pack 2 which inlcuded the Movie Maker 2.1

PRODEDURES I FOLLOWED LEADING UP TO ERROR:
1. I started Movie Maker 2.1 ok
2. I selected the Capture from Video Device wizard
3. Under [Available devices:] I selcted [ATI e-home Wonder Capture ICON]
4. Under [Audio input source:] I selected [Anolog Mix]
5. Under (Video input source:] I selected [S-Video]
6. I enterred the file name to capture video.
7. After hitting NEXT the above error message appears.

I have tried the above procedures several times all resulting with the same
error message.

Thats it !

Thanks to whoever can help with this one.

I get the same message and i have a Dell as well. I've just reloaded windows
XP pro and opted not to install the media experience, but i still get the
message. I'm trying to capture from my DV camera, i can control and capture
in other programs and i can control the camera within Movie Maker in the
configure window but thats it can not go beyond that. so hopefully someout
there can help us both.
