I have a Sony Digital Video Camera Recorder (DCR-TRV120
NTSC) with a IEEE 1394 (I-Link) port. I am try ing to
download home videos to my computer using Windows
MovieMaker.
In the help section of Windows MovieMaker, it states:
About video capture devices - A video capture device lets
you transfer live or recorded video to your computer. In
Windows Movie Maker, you can use the following types of
capture devices to capture video (and in some cases,
audio as well) to your computer: Digital video source
such as a DV camera or VCR connected to an Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) 1394 port
(DV capture card or built-in port)
About the DV camera to IEEE 1394, it also states - DV
camera or VCR connected to an IEEE 1394 port. When a DV
camera is connected to an IEEE 1394 port, you get the
best quality available from your DV device. Because the
data is already in a digital format, it is simply passed
through the IEEE 1394 port to your computer. In this
configuration, the IEEE 1394 cable is connected from the
DV out port of your DV camera or VCR to the DV IEEE 1394
card or built-in IEEE 1394 port.
I hook up the camera to the IEEE 1394 port on my computer
using a proper 6-pin to 4-pin 1394 cable. The camera is
on and set to VTR. However, when I open Windows
MovieMaker and click on capture, I get the following
error in a dialogue box.
"A video capture device was not detected. Verify that a
device is turned on and connected properly, and then try
again."
Am I missing anything that is causing this? Would I be
better off using a video capture card?
My system is a 2,6GHz Pentium 4 with XP Home OS.
Thanks for any insight offered.
Bob
