This capturing error is pissing me off...I've tried everything...i have a cannon zr 60 (dv camcorder) hooked up to the computer via firewire using my 6 pin firewire port from my Sound Blaster Audigy PCI card. In the past my camera worked fine and capture video didnt have any problems...but I've tried for the past two days to get it to work using WMM 2.0 and it gives me this error message "A video capture device was not detected. Verify that a device is turned on and connected properly, and then try again."... everything is connected properly and windows even detects the plug and play firewire and reads the camera as "Cannon DV Camcorder" on my computer...but if i try to open the camera icon throught My computer and then clicling on the camera icon to get the camera folder i get this error message " Creation of the video preview failed. Please check the device connection and make sure that the device is not being used by another application or user" ..all the latest drivers are installed for the sound card ...idk about the firewire port or the capturing driver for the sound card ..but all drivers are working properly when i go to device manager ...and only one user is logged on...PLEASE HELP

I'm with you on this one...I'm getting the same error
message. I have a sony ccd-trv608. Everything is
connected properly using the usb port. I hear the
connection tone when it's plugged in, but WMM just does
not what to do video capture. Not sure what to do next.
