MM2 and Windows Media 9 Capture Fix

[Guest]

Hi

I am trying to transfer Video 8 through my DV Cam Sony TRV22 (has analog-digital pass through funtion) with a firewire to my computer. I couldn't capture directly into MM2 so after researching all day today, I found on PapaJohn's site the Limitations section for MM2, which gave me the info for the Media 9 Capture tool

I've downloaded Windows Media 9 Capture and it allowed me to capture video, however, I cannot open the file in MM2. Win Media 9 is suppose to save files as .avi's, but it hasn't and I can't figure out why

Does anyone have any idea as to what I did wrong? I know I can copy the Video 8 to the DV Camera and then use the DV tape to get into MM2, but I'd like to skip that process if I can

Thanks
Sandy

I think I found my answer...duh. In the Help section it said that the Windows Media 9 Capture Tool would not add the .avi extension, you have to type it after your file name. Duh! Anyway, it looks like it's working. I love MM2 and I've only used it for a few days.

I've used DVIO in the past and it works OK for pulling video from camcorder
via firewire.
