My apology, I have posted threads in a couple of other sites. I checked
to
see if I supplied details and discovered I had not. So here they are.....
Hardware: Toshiba Satellite A65-S1762, Canon ZR50MC, Techgear 1394
Firewire
3-port bus
Software: Windows XP Professional, Moviemaker 2.1, Intervideo WinDVD
Creator for Toshiba
In both application I have control of the camera (connected via firewire).
MM gives unspecified error whenever I attempt to capture video. The
camera
continues to play tape.
Intervideo get closer, capture appears to take place. There is no image
genrated in the preview screen. When capturing is stoped a DVI file is
created. When I attempt to open the resulting DVI file I get an error
message stating that the file may be corrupt or too short to play.
This maybe caused by incompatible filters installed by other software.
So initially, we are going to try disabling/enabling filters in WMM 2.1.
Turning off filters in WMM will not effect them in other applications.
1) Open WMM, click: Tools/Options, then click the Compatibilty tab
2) Listed maybe several filters, as you've detailed interVideo, that filter
will be listed? Also DirectShow. This process of turning Off/On filters
will now be trial and error to eliminate possible problematic settings.
3) To turn Off, clear checkbox, to turn On, select checkbox.
4) You may find several listed that appear to be titled the same, these
are different versions, Initially try by disabling all apart from Windows
filters.
5) This trial and error process can be quite laborious. Each time you
disable/Enable, try capture etc.
