Graham,
I probably lost a longer post, but it may appear. My apologies if this is a
repeat.
In short, USB can work. My son in-law has produced excellent quality DVDs
using Movie Maker to capture and edit video from his camcorder. Neither the
computer nor the camcorder have firewire.
I suspect some software change and will continue looking.
I have not tried reinstalling camera software or Movie Maker. I don't see
how to reinstall Movie Maker either. Do you know how?
I'm open to suggestions, but firewire is not a viable option on his system.

You need to connect via firewire.
What cam do you have?

Thanks. That's a good trouble shooting suggestion. I did notice the WMV
option was available. I started capture in at least one other format, it
might have been WMV, but aborted before completion. I should have
completed
a capture in any other format. I'll try a short WMV clip and reply with
results.
It may be a day or two until I try. I'm helping my son in-law. He
prefers
the AVI format for creating good DVDs of my grandson. I really want to
get
AVI capture back. If I fail I might look for another video editing
program
for him.
Note that the camera uses a USB connection. Movie Maker recognizes (at
least partially) that the camera is connected, but would not let me set
capture parameters and forced 320x240 and 15 frames per second.

Windows Movie Maker has lost the ability to capture video from a DV

in DV-AVI format. The DV-AVI selection is now grayed out and not
available.
It worked when last used about 1 month ago.
Rebooting windows does not help. Windows automatic update is on. Movie
maker automatic codec download was off. I turned on automatic codec
download
and imported an AVI video file on the computer without fixing the problem
although from the wait before starting the import I suspect a new codec
was
loaded.
The operating system version is Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1
service
pack 2. Movie Maker is version 2.1.
How do I restore the ablilty to capture camera video in DV-AVI format?
