View Full Version : Can't capture or view video in preview window

When my camcorder is connected to my PC with the DV cable I am unable to view the video in the preview window. This goes for the 3 video capure programs I have tried, VideoStudio 7, ImageMixer, and Windows Movie Maker. I am able to control the camcorder (p
lay, stop, rewind...) with the PC but I just can't see the video. The preview window remains black and I'm not able to capture any video. To avoid the obvious reply questions: YES, the "preview video while capturing" box is checked. YES, the camcorder is s
et to "Play" mode. YES, the PC does recognize that the camcorder is connected.

I originally thought I had a bad 1394 card or cable, but that doesn't seem to be the case as I've tried 2 cards and 3 cables only to get the same result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
