VideoStudio :: Capture Options Not Working For Mini-DV
Apr 11, 2011
I just installed X4 and hooked up two mini-DV sources to capture from mini-DV tapes. When I start the program, click the Capture tab, and click on the Options up-arrow, the options panel slides up, but it is completely blank. No place to select a source and start capturing from the devices. The devices are a Sony GV-D1000 DVR and a Canon GL2 camcorder, both connected by USB to my WinXP PC. The right drivers are installed, and the devices are recognized by Windows (Camcorder appears as a drive in Windows Explorer, etc.)
I'm at a loss. I have X3 at home and I sort of remember what that Options panel is supposed to look like, but I've never seen it totally blank. I'm traveling right now, and I need to dump these tapes to my HD.
I have some mini dv tapes that seem to have been shot in: 4:3 720x480,DVD, Variable BitRate
I am currently in the capture video section of VideoStudio and wanted to know what is the highest quality capture format for these tapes.
From the video studio drop down it says that i can capture in the following:
DVD DV Mpeg VCD SVCD
Also under options> Video options It has a bunch of Video profiles, should i change any of those?
My final output will be onto Standard DVDs
So my questions are:
1- What is the best above format to capture in?
2- Should i change the video options profile?
3- Ideally I would love to have the video shown/edited in 16:9 is that possible considering it was shot inf 4:3? If 16:9 is possible should i capture it differently to achieve 16:9?
I want to capture from mini DV tape, but my current software (not Corel!) requires me to use Firewire. However. my computer only has USB ports. Will Video Studio capture using USB (or do I need to buy a new computer?) My camera has both USB and Firewire outlets.
I downloaded video studio x4 trial to test drive. I have the upgrade boxed version on the way. I'm running it on my Win7 Home Premium system, 6 gig ram. My camera is a JVC gr-d850 mini DV tape camera. I connect the camera to my computer using a 4-6 pin avi cable. The computer detects the camera with no problem. However, when I open VS x4, it tells me no camera is detected or not connected. My laptop has a 4 pin firewire connection. If I use a 4-4 pin cable between the laptop and camera and open VS x4 it detects the camera with no problem. why the desk top can detect the camera but the software on it can't? And using the laptop instead is not really an option since it is way under powered to handle what I plan to throw at this program.
AJA's web site claims Premiere Pro CC is compatible with the Kona LHi card, but I can't get the two to work together properly. After repeated tries, I uninstalled and reinstalled everything AJA, but still no luck.
I need to batch capture DV clips from some mini-DV tapes on my Sony MVR035U tape deck. But I also need to upconvert them from 480i to 720p60 using my Kona Lhi card. I should be able to do this with Premiere Pro CC. But the PPCC Capture window won't give me any audio feedback when I select "AJA Movie Capture" in the Capture Settings pull down menu. I only get audio feedback when I enable "DV capture" but then I'm no longer able to upconvert.
The video capture function for my Corel VideoStudio12 program. When I hit the capture tab, nothing happens. Just two months ago my 17 year old son used the program without any problems. All the other functions are working (edit, effect, overlay, title, audio,).
I am not very tech savvy, so I hope there is a simple solution. I am able to capture video with Windows Movie Maker, but I prefer to use Corel as it is a much better program.My operating system is Vista Home Premium, I am using a firewire connection to a Panasonic Camcorder, model PV-GS83.
I have Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 as well as the trial version of X4 which I have just downloaded. I am having the same problem with both versions. When I go into Capture, there is no image coming through the Capture Window, it is just black. When I hit Capture Video, it does start capturing and it does record video correctly, however when I stop capturing, the preview window turns black again.
How can I get the video to be seen in the Capture preview window?
My computer is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit edition. I am using a USB capture device, the Diamond Multimedia VC500 One Touch VHS Video Capture USB 2.0.
Is there a permanent fix for Mini bridge not working in PS CS6? I now continually get the message 'Waiting for Bridge CS6...". I am able run full Bridge, and I still get the same message whether full Bridge is running or not.
I had this problem recently and found a fix involving deleting the Switchboard folder which worked for a while but the error has returned and repeating the fix no longer works.
I have a Sony Handycam DVD403 that works great even though it is old. Was trying to import the mini DVD into X3. In the picture below you can see that X3 recognizes it, but the import button is grayed out.
Not sure the best way to go about this. I did not want to reinstall the Sony Picture Package software that never worked real well in the first place, but that is how I was able to import it into VS11. I was kinda hoping X3 would just import it and I would not have to use Picture Package. How to import my mini DVD's? The folders are:
Using VideoStudio X4. After initial problems with installation it has now installed fine and is working well. However, when capturing video from my Panasonic NV-GS400 mini dv camcorder the film does not show in the preview window. It did at first but now does not preview. I have not changed any settings nor have I changed anything in my method of capture. The film does capture ok - capture in avi format - its just a little unsettling not being able to see it during capture. I watch it on the pull out screen of the camcorder so I can tell when to stop capture etc.
Also, when capturing, the film runs for a few seconds then stops and then starts again and the capture begins from the second start point. I never had the problem with Ulead 9 but did have it with ProX2 but wondered if that was just a glitch because I was running it on Windows 7 and it had not originally been developed for that. Apart from that the program works well even when rendering HD footage from my new Panasonic HDC-TM700.
Having a few problems after swapping AJA for BMD DeckLink. Latest problem...
Capture from tape works if I manually go in there and set points and Capture, but Auto-Capture doesn't work - never seems to cue up the deck properly. Gets to a 5 sec pre-roll, stutters a bit, then just beeps and stops trying.
I know the tape is fine - I sent the EDL to FCP and captured my clips - but I'd prefer to stay in Smoke, of course...
I have Ulead Videostudio 9. I am trying to capture from a DVD and following the manual instructions all goes OK up to the Import step. At that stage I get an error message "Temporary working forder does not exist. Report ID 0x8004083d(2109)" First time I have tried to capture stuff from a DVD. Program still works fine on all other aspects. I have checked the closed Ulead Forum and FAQ's but can find no solution. Is there anything I can do?
I just purchased Video Studio Pro X3 and I love it . In my opinion it is possible to capture video from the video camera. I have a JVC HD camera
This the camera I purchased.

I would like to hook my camera up to my computer

How do I do this. Now of course my camera records off an SD card and I can just stick it in there and edit. The reason I am hoping I can capture video just like I can with a webcam is because the view screen on my camera no longer functions so therefore I can only point in my general direction and center up the shot in post edit.
For convenience, I use my video camera for both video and taking still pictures. For video I use use a wide frame 16:9 while capturing stills I use a standard frame 4:3 (the standard frame allows a higher megapixel). I use VS X2 for creating my home DVD's and I use Photostory 3 for my slide shows.
I've never used the still capture function on VS until today. I needed a couple of stills from the video to match with the continuity of my slide show.
I realised that my screen capture would be wide screen but I figured I could edit the photo and crop it to 4:3. What actually happens is that VS X2 captures the image and squeezes it to 4:3 so in the end I get these long images!
I am using VS X6 ultimate that I purchased yesterday
I am capturing videos from VHS tape using an S-Video connection
I have tried different capture options settings and the capture always saves in MPEG
I believe that AVI has the least loss and would prefer to save in the AVI format since I intend to do some editing of the original content The end objective will be to burn reults to DVD
Can VS X6 capture files in AVI? If so, what settimgs should I use? Any settings that would be best for this type of transfer to HDD?
My capture card is a BlackGold BGT 3620 (which doesn't come with capture software). I had been using VideoStudio Pro X3 to capture VCRs through its analogue input (using S-Video) with no problems. However, I recently re-installed Windows (nothing different, it had just stopped working), and decided to give the trial version of VideoStudio Pro X4 a shot. When I go into the capture panel and click on "Capture Video", the "Source" field is blank, and the program completely hangs, so I have to kill it.
Of course, I can go back to X3, but sooner or later, it will no longer be supported, or there'll be some other reason I'm forced to upgrade, so I'd rather get this working.I tried running it as admin (although X3 used to work fine without it).
here's my set-up:
Mobo: ASUS M4A79T Deluxe RAM: 8 GiB DDR3 GPU: Palit NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 (driver V. 275.33) HDD: 3 x 160 GB 7200 RPM SATA II OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64. All service packs, updates, etc., installed. Capture Device: BlackGold BGT 3620 (driver V. 8.1.0.0) Capture Media: UK PAL VCR, from standard VCR player, through S-Video
Is it possible to capture from a file using VS Pro X2? I'm trying to get an AVI file into my timeline. Can I capture the file or do I Import it to video clips and then drag it into the timeline.
When I connect my camera and select Capture Video, I receive the error:
Unable to switch to capture mode Check if your video capture driver is working properly 15023:4:2
I select OK and it properly identifies my camera in source as Canon HV30
Using the VS Pro X3 software, I can play, ffwd, pause, etc the camera however, it will not Capture the video at all
This is on my dads pc. he is running:
- Video Studio Pro x3 Pro which has had all patches applied. - PC is an intel i5 2500 on a Asus P8P67 Pro motherboard. - 64 bit Windows 7 Home premium all patches applies - Canon HV30 connected via firewire
Note, I have used this camera with VS Pro x3 on another pc with no issue.,
not sure if i have got a setting applied incorrectly in vs pro x3 or not.
So what is a good reliable capture device that works with X3 and won't mess up on me? I've looked at ezcap, the real one, and I'm still not sure. BTW it has to be USB as I use my laptop.
I tried to use the trial version of VS 11plus with a Honestech Vidbox NW03 video capture device. I wanted to use VS11plus because I was unhappy with the video quality of Honestech VHS to DVD software. The VS wouldn't allow me to use the Vidbox even after uninstalling the Honestech software. I also tried using VS after uninstalling the Vidbox software. The only device that ever worked with VS for me was a Easy cap. Is Easycap the only device that works with VS or did I do something wrong? I have Vista Home Basic, 2.16GHZ, 3GB Ram and 250GB Hard drive on my laptop.
I have ION video 2 pc mkll. When I try to capture i cant get a preview. Have tried to change settings with no luck. The drivers for it 10 but no preview show up.
I first used the above on a trial basis and had no problems. Then I bought it and I cannot capture my video. I get the no video capture device installed. I have tried 2 different cameras, computers, video capture drivers, firewires and I uninstalled and reinstalled Studio 12 in addition to installed a trial Pro3. I also uninstalled other devices like Flip Software as was suggested by a Corel support person. I am using Windows XP.
I have a new issue with screen capture in VS pro x6. When I try to capture the sound from my computer i.e. a clip on (you tube) when I hit the record button (the red circle) I get this message:
it counts 3-2-1 then…at 1 (Prepare Record Failed!!! #15)
However it works fine if I disable it… when I record my voice when it is screen recording, no problem.
Also, when I try to record a game play, full screen, it stops once I launch the game, a message says that my screen capture is complete without me hitting the stop capture button!!
My computer is running win 7 Prem. Service pack 1 64 bit 12 GB RAM Intel core i7 @ 3.40 GHz
I am using VSX4 and I wonder is it possible to capture the computer screen with this version? If not will any of the newer versions that will capture the screen? If not do you know of a program that will do that?
I have a large video file I am trying to render in VS pro X3. The source file is about 3.4 gig. (VHS capture to MPG) I have trimmed out small pieces and inserted a title and a few transitions and I am now trying to rerender it. the process gets to 9% and freezes. No error. It just freezes.
Is there any way to schedule video capturing with this software ? For example, can I automate it to capture daily at a certain time for a fixed duration or can this only be done manually ?
I am having a bit of trouble with the Ulead Video Studio 10.0 Program I am trying to record Xbox 360 Gameplay and I have the picture both on the TV screen and Laptop. But when I try to record it says "Cannot Start Capture Graph". that i can start recording.
