Trying to Use My JVC Compact

[Joe]

When I try to use Movie Maker 2 I keep getting the
following message: "Being used by another person or
program. Close any programs that might be using the file
and try again." What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

Is this a digital or analog camcorder?

and if it is digital are you using firewire?

 

[Joe]

It is a digital camcorder, JVC Compact VHS Model GR-AXM310U

 

[Joe]

No Firewire--have an ATI Multimedia card. Could this be
my problem; NO firewire?

Yes, digital camcorders like firewire.

If you want to use composite/S-Video, you should use the ATI MultiMedia
Centre software to capture but the resolution will be lower than if you use
firewire.

Thank you all for the help and advice. Will purchase
Firewire. One of the nicest/friendly Newsgroups I have
had the pleasure to work with.
Thanks again, Joe
