Device already in use
I have just purchased a Sony HDR-HC3 handy cam. I have just tried to connect
and capture a tape to windows Movie Maker with no luck. When I connect the cam through firewire I hear the sound of it making a connection but after I try to capturefrom video device I receive an error message saying that :"the Video device is currently in use.Close any other application that is using the device and try again" I deperately need to fix ASAP as I am leaving UK in a few days I am using a Toshiba Qosmio G10 Windows XP Media Thanks |
