  Posted by Brandon on June 16, 2007 at 12:33 am

  I just opened the box on vegas 7 so I am new at this.

  My problem is this. When I try and capture video from the DVX100 after I press the capture button it opend the sony vegas capture window but then I get a windows error message that says ” the divice Conexant Falcon video capture could not be opened”. Any ideas on how I can fix this or turn on the device etc…

  thanks for any help

  I’m not familiar with V7, but an idea:

  Probably you have more capture devices, let’s say a TV card,
  which vegas can’t setup properly.

  Plug in your camera to firewire, set it to “vcr” mode, start capture program, and in the video menu choose something like “microsoft dv-vcr”
  This can be done after the error message.

  Then you’ll able to capture from your camera.

  Hope I could help.

  Thanks again

  Hi,

  nothing to loose.
  I guess you’re using the vegas capture, assuming you do so,
  setting the video to “microsoft dv-vcr” is just something like selecting an input device.

  This is the way you have to do it until you remove that other capture device.
