I am new at this video thing & trying to clear off my new Panasonice HDD
camcorder
before my fist child arrives. My movie maker says "A video capture
device was not detected. Verify that a device is turned on and connected
properly, then try again."


There is the clue, how have you connected - Firewire? USB?
Read the instruction manual.
If the unknown "Panasonice" (sic) is a hard drive model, what format
is the footage captured as, if mpeg 1/2 then movie maker cannot
see that, nor import such footage.
If it is a DV cam, if you connect by USB then that is for transfering
still images from the cams flash card.
If it has a firewire connection and the footage is DV-AVI, then connect
via firewire, turn it on, select to play and XP will see it and movie maker
will capture the footage.


I have tried lots of things, including checking for Microsoft Updates.
What
can I do? I am running out of time! HELP!!! I know the device is fine,
because it is brand new.
