Re: Cannot capture but control camera- unknown error in Movie Make

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

HEUREKA!

A complete new installation of Windows XP Pro SP2 did the trick.
I wiped my drive and did a clean install, the repair-function did not work.
It was a pain though to get all the files, programs and settings back to
original state, but now it seems to work fine.

Sorry, no other solution and not even the MICR§$%&FT-Support had a clue.

Good luck

Still haven't got a resolution to my problem.
After being on hotlines from ASUS, AVID and (§$%&"§$ MICROSOFT), everyone
agrees that this is a software problem.
Microsoft was not able to help me further.

I installed a new firewire-card, used different IEEE drivers (generic and
non-generic), unplugged the card, rebooted without and then again with the
card.
Drivers were correctly rebuilt and I stll can control the camera but cannot
capture.
I also tried different ports on the machine, still no difference.
Now I am sitting in front of a blue screen formatting my disk and trying to
reinstall XP.
That was the thing that everyone recommended.
Let's see.

Anyone a different solution?

Thanks, that worked, but still I cannot capture from my device.
What else is there to do for me?

It's included in XP so the best thing to do is right click on it in the
Device Manager and select Uninstall. Then reboot the PC and XP should
reinstall with the correct drivers.

THX, I think it is a firewire related problem, yes.
I have a 1394 to ATA IEEE 1394 device that does not function properly
(yellow !)
It is not the camera, what can it be?
Where do I find a driver for it?

You might have done nothing more than played a DVD or CD that included a
nasty little program loosely termed DRMO management.
Or, you might not have the software and firewire driver installed
properly.
There was also a frewire related bug in the system drivers at one time.
Poking around MSDN for the MSKB articles on firewire may help.

I try to capture material from my PD150 or GVD300 DV-deck.
Both are connected via firewire-port.
They are recognized by the System and when I open the wizard and select
entire tape, the camera rewinds but as soon as it should record, it
quits
wit
an "unknown error".
I guess this has something to do with the system since I cannot capture
with
my AVID Liquid 7.1 either. I can control the devices but not caputure
(Liquid
does not come with an error!)

What could this be.
I am clueless.

Please help
