Hi,

I hope someone can help!

Does anyone have any capture settings to the above DV camcorder for VS9?

The JVC is connected via firewire via a Belkin USB2/firewire combi PCI card. The PC reconises the camcorder is connected and VS9 finds it and even lists it as a ‘JVC MSDV’. . The format defaults to ‘DV’, the device control is set to ‘MS1394 device control’ and the capture plug in is set to ‘Ulead directshow capture plugin’. In the options, the DV type is set to type 1.

When I click ‘start capture’, the camcorder whirs into life and starts playing, the counter on the preview window moves although the ‘time elapsed’ in the top left corner stays at zero. There is nothing in the preview screen
I then get an error message saying ‘No video was captured, please check if there is any input signal. There may be no device selected’.

Any help appreciated on how I might solve this!
