I can capture thru firewire with the manual mode in WMM2.
However, when I try capture the entire tape automatically
I can,t. Error says "Specified video device is not
responding. Verify the device is connected properly and
turned on." As far as I can tell every thing is connected
up right because I just captured in the manual mode. Is
there any thing I can do to make WMM2 work in the auto
capture mode?
..

What kind of camcorder do you have? Some older FireWire camcorders don't
support the tape transport interface that is used by DirectX which MM uses
to do this.

The model I have is a panasonic PVDC252 Here is a link to
the discription of it

I am not sure what you mean by Tape Transport Interface.
WMM2 will rewind the tape and stop it but when it goes to
capture in Automatic I get that error message. It captures
in the manual mode.

Thanks for your help
