  Capturing with the MSI video capture card

  Posted by Galagalag on March 4, 2006 at 5:34 pm

  hey guys!
  i have an external video card “MSI Vox TV Box” that i use to capture video from my panasonic palmcorder IQ video cam. Everytime i try to capture video using Vegas’s video capture application, it says: ” cannot open preview with ur MSI Device, plz make sure its turned on and not being used by any other applications”. I always check, and it was never used by any other application.
  Does anyone know how to solve this ??
  P.S : I can’t use a firewire with my cam coz its so damn old, but good 😀

  My answer would STILL be to use firewire. Get a convertor, plug the camera into the convertor and then firewire between the convertor and computer.

  Just for curiosity – which would be the cheapest, yet acceptable
  analog-fw converter?
  (If not a DV cam with passthrough?)

  Thanks

  Hmmmm…
  Maybe tha capture hardware/driver defaults to a color standard,
  which is not detected/supported?

  I mean NTSC versus PAL or SECAM, or vice versa.
