  • 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.
