Thread: Failed to build preview graph /w 9.0

I'm using Ulead VideoStudio 9.0 (latest patch) I get the titled message when I go to the 'Movie Wizard' and try and capture any video. The dialog box can be seen here

http://hedges.net/ulead-videostudio.png

Out of the 3 capture plug-ins 3 do this and the MPEG capture says there is no device or driver.

When I start a capture it does manage to start my camera playing so it does see the camera. Although it doesn't seem to know a lot about the device as it reports it as "Unknown -- MSDV".

Software:
Windows XP SP2
Ulead VideoStudio 9.0

Hardware:
Panasonic NV-GS150 - Connected Via USB 2.0

Help!

Check what deveice your the capture tool is pointing at.

I would receommend a Firewire card though and capture in lossless AVI.

How do I do this? I'm pretty sure it's the right device though... although I wouldn't swear it.

I have Firewire but Windows doesn't seem to detect anything when I plug it in that way. The firewire card is working as it works with my iPod so I'm hoping it is just a dodgy cable, else the camera is defective - I have another cable on order.

SImply connect camera to Firewire port, switch cam to play mode. Hopefully it is just your cable.

Good luck

Sorry, I meant - how do I:

Check what device your the capture tool is pointing at.

Thanks,

Sorry barcode, Ithink it was me (its a middle aged thing).

I have version 8 myself, and in that version you click the capture tab, click options and the devices are l;isted.


Good luck.
