Capture Conundrum

[Mike Velte]

Been there done that…bad firewire cable was my problem with your symptoms.

Would a bad firewire also cause my capture window to be black eventhough I can capture into PPro…?
Actually, in some cases, my capture window displays a ghost effect of sorts from what appears to be my favorites in IE… Very strange…
Any ideas…?

Thanks,
Jim

Jim-

Do you have a dual monitor set-up? I had this problem when the capture window was dragged onto the right (B) monitor – shut down, restart, reposition the window and it was okay to play (not that it doesn’t bail out all the time for other reasons – just not the same way;)

Thanks for the reply!

I do have a dual monitor setup but have tried various things to correct this because what’s irritating is this is a relatively new problem and not much has really changed on this box…

I will attempt to move the capture window onto the right monitor(B) and restart or vise-versa… It’s actually a real pain in the @#$% to capture various clips without the capture window; I have to view things on the camera screen.

Thanks again,
Jim
