MM and other movie making software packages do not
recognize my Sony DCR-TRV950 MiniDV Camcorder when trying
to capture video. They used to recognize the camcorder
before, but have stopped over the past several weeks (I
haven't tried downloading in a while). I am capturing
through an IEEE-1394 card using Windows XP. I have tried
an Adaptec AUA-3121 DuoConnect Adapter (which worked fine
before on the same system) and just recently installed a
Pinnacle Systems DV IEEE card with the same results. I
have tried two different fire-wire cables to rule that
out. MM and Pinnacle Studio both recognize the camcorder
to rewind and fastforward, and will even play the video
on the camcorder, but will not capture it on the
computer. When selecting the capture source in the
settings options of the software packages, my camcorder
is not an option. I can't recall installing anything
that may have lost the functionality for except some
Windows updates (searching the Windows Knowledge Base has
yielded nothing). Here is the system I am running
(which, again, worked before):
Sony DCR-TRV950 MiniDV Camcorder (with firewire
connection)
Dell Dimension 8100
Pentium-4 1.3GHz
512MB Ram
128 MB NVidia GeForce-4 4600Ti
Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum Ex
Windows XP (service pack-1 installed)
Microsoft Digital Image Suite
Pinnacle Studio v.8
Western Digital 80GB and 120GB Hard Drives
Pinnacle-DV IEEE1394 Video Capture Card (currently
installed)
Motorola SB5100 Surfboard Cable Modem
HP Deskjet 970Cxi Printer
HP Scanjet 4570c Scanner
Thanks for any suggestions you might have!
