Capture problem
I have Movie Studio 11 and I am on Windows 7 and have a panasonic NV GS120 camera connected by firewire.
When I try to capture video I get the message The device ‘Microsoft DV Camera and VCR’ could not be opened and the capture window in Movie Studio shows “please connect a device”
When the camera is switched on I get the beep to indicate it’s been picked up and it displays the camera in devices and printers.
Any ideas why I can’t capture video?
I have an older computer running XP and it captures okay, but it’s very slow, hense the move to a new system.
Thanks

Can you browse the files on the camera through My computer/explorer ?

Hi Kristoffer,
No it doesn’t show up in explorer as an external drive, I’ve been told that it wouldn’t as the camera has tape not a memory card/ hard disk as such it can’t be explored. But does show in the devices.
ThanksDave

Here’s a potential solution from another Vegas forum.
Change firewire driver to ‘legacy’
•Go to Device Manager and click on IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers
•Click on the device listed underneath this heading.
•Right click this device and select ‘update driver software’ from the shortcut menu
•Then select the option ‘browse my computer for driver software’
•Then select the option ‘let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer’
•This then gives you drivers to pick from (make sure the’show compatible hardware’ checkbox is ticked
•Select the driver named ‘1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller (Legacy)’
•Install driver. -
Mike you are a star, thanks for this it’s now capturing.
Best wishes
