“sony video capture has stopped workging” msg ????

[Jeremy Rasnic]

I have not had this issue on my system so I don’t have a fix. However, have you tried doing a system restore to the last time you knew it worked to see if it is a system setting or if it might be hardware related?

Thanks Jeremy,

I was hoping not to have to do this but I may have to try a restore point. I’m using a dVX 100. The starnge thing is that the Windows cam capture starts up without an error. I want to use the Sony capture as I know it creates separate clips on import.

I’ve had this before but can’t recall what I did, it was silly, like opening another project, closing it and opening a new project and importing. not working this time :(.

Cheers,

Gilles

I tried to system restore but Windows complained that it was not successful … when I rebooted from initiated.
any other ideas anyone??

I’m on Vista with a DVX100 cam.

I’m stuck as I have footage that I need dumped for a project and can not access it due to this error.

THanks,

Gilles

FYI,

I resolved the problem by unistalling/reinstalling Vegas. A bit of a pain but it worked.

Don’t know what the goblin was. I hope he doesn’t return 🙂

I had a similar issue and it turned out to be corruption of the DV capture driver in Windows Live Essential. Doing a “Repair” of that from the control panel fixed it finally.

Apparently, plugging in an old USB camera broke the capture driver.

Hi Lawrence,

Thanks for this. Should it happen again, I’d try what you did.

Where exactly do I do the “repair”?

Thanks

Gilles

[Lawrence Farr]

I just went into the Control Panel | Add Remove Programs and instead of doing “Uninstall” I chose “Repair”.

[Gilles Gagnon]

AHhhh.. I think I get it now. I was looking for some DV driver of some sort in Add/remove programs but from what you’re telling me, it’s the entry “Windows Live Essentials” that I must do the repair on … correct? I’m assuming that IT contains the DV capture component.

It appears so. DV capture is, I guess, all tied into Movie Maker and all that which (it seems) is all tied into the Windows Live Essentials components.

I use a Canon GL2 and it scared the bejeezus out of me. I thought my camera was broken or something. I also have an older Sony handycam with DV that I hadn’t used for awhile but I couldn’t find the power supply to test it.

But repairing Windows Live Essential fixed it.

[Gilles Gagnon]

Thanks. I know what you mean, it scared me as well when it happened.

Just to be clear… this happened to you when you used the capture from within Vegas correct? the FILE-CAPTURE VIDEO option from the menu right?
