Re: XP SP2 - Now Cannot Record

Hi Zachary,
Could I get some additional information from you? What version of XP SP2
are you using and what Firewire device are you recording from?
Thanks,
Lisa Campbell-Smith [MS]

Lisa,

I've downloaded and installed the release published for IT Professionals
and Developers on August 9th from the MSDN website. According to the
Properties in Windows XP Pro it just says "Service Pack 2" is there another
way to tell.

Also the device is the Hollywood DV Bridge. This device converts S-Video
to Firewire data and worked fine before SP2.

Any other information I can provide, let me know.

Zack

Hello both,

I have applied SP2 for networks to my machines. The Ctrl-R option still
works here.

My About box now says Version 5.1(Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158 :
Service Pack 2)

and Version 2.1.4026.0 for Movie Maker.

There is one problem. The machine I am using at this moment has a number
of codecs known to be a problem with MM. The option within MM2.1 for
switching off those codecs for MM is blank !!! There are no codecs (why do
they call them filters?) listed....its completely blank.

John,

I've got the same information as you (version numbers match on both
products).

I'll try the Ctrl-R option tonight and let you know the results. Thanks
for the information.

Yes, OK.. There is no real difference here with SP2 other than a noticeable
slowing down of the machines. I have turned off the security features in favour
of those already on the machines. The one option I was looking forward to
seeing was where certain Codecs could be turned off. The dialog for that is
empty. I guess we will here more in time about what it is supposed to
do.....the help file for MM2.1 contains no reference to filter or
codec....which is a little worrying!!!

Thanks for the information, I will see if I can get my hands on the
Hollywood DV and try to reproduce your problem and get back to you.

Hi Zarchary,
I've just tested the Hollywood DV bridge against the version of Movie
Maker in the final release of Windows XP Service Pack 2, and it does work.
If you download the release when it becomes available, you should be able to
capture again.
Regards,
Lisa Campbell-Smith[MS]
