  vixia hv30 won’t open?

  Posted by Jeff Scheetz on June 30, 2011 at 8:19 pm

  Hey all – just got a Canon Vixia hv30 – using vegas 10d – When I hook it up via firewire – and then go to “capture” it says “Can not open Canon Vixia hv30 – please make sure it is turned on and not in use by another program”…… So – the camera shows up under video and audio tabs so it knows it’s there – just says it is not turned on (it is – and I don’t know what other program could be using it??)

  Anyway – if this is some common issue with an easy fix… wonderful :o)

  Thanks

  I haven’t used Vegas to capture from my HV30 in quite a while. I just tried it and got the same error message. Huh? Then I tried it again and realized that I didn’t select “HDV” when the “Capture video” dialog box shows up. I got the error message when I just left it at the “DV” default. Set it to “HDV” and give it another try.

  If that’s not your problem then I’d just use HDVSplit. Many people use it and I’ve had no problems with it.
