Hi Chuck --

According to the documentation on their website, WinDV is built on top of
Dshow (just like Movie Maker.)
So my guess is you *are* looking for something they have in common. like :
    1. A Dshow filter that Movie Maker and WinDV both use (Like MSDV.SYS)
    2. A Dshow filter that is installed on your PC and is erroneously
getting added to the capture graph .

I've got a ZR-85 in-house, and I can capture from it on XPSP2 without issue.
But all that means is that the problem you're experienceing isn't a simple
case of the camera being broken with respect to the base components
installed on XPSP2.

Have you upgraded to XPSP2 already? If you haven't, then that would be the
first thing I would try.

If you have upgraded to XPSP2 and the problem still exists, then I know few
things we can try to attempt to identify the problem.
Fair waring --they involve installing software (grapedit), and possibly
replacing system files on your PC. Write back and let me know how
adventurous you are feeling...

Cheers!
