After reinstalling Windows XP, Moviemaker will not
capture video from my canon ZR50 Digital Video camera.
The camera is connected using an IEEE1394 port (TI
controller.) After connecting the camera PC recognizes
it, shows the correct camera on the list of video devices
(Canon ZR50 and WinTV capture card), after pressing
next,I am given the choice of File mane and place to save
video, after selecting these, I select video setting
(Best quality for playback on pc), next. Then I've tried
both options - Capture tape automatically OR Capture tape
manually. After pressing next, tape rewinds and starts,
process moves to second step, capturing video, then stops
with the following VERY HELPFUL message, "An unknown
error has occurred."
Is this a codec problem? I have tried all of the options
in the initial capture screens without success.
PC is a HP Pavilon, 3.0 GHz processor, 512 meg ram, 120
gig HD, 86 gig free, built in Firewire.
Running Windows XP Home edition, version 2002, SP1 and
Movie Maker version 5.1 Build 2600 xpsp 1.020828-1920,
SP1.
Help.
Thanks,
