Windows Forum / Windows XP / Movie Maker / September 2007VIDEO CAPTURE DEVICE
I have made some films before using WMM with no problems. However, using the same camcorder, I was surprised when I used it today to get the following messages: "The device is not responding. Close any other application that is using the device and try capturing again". I pressed OK and got "The video device cannot be used at this time because there has been an error when starting the device." The device is not showing in the Video Capture Device window behind the messages either. What am I doing wrong? What cam? What connection? Do some tests on the cam/cable/pc firewire port, if it is firewire you are using as listed on this page http://www.myvideoproblems.com/ProblemPages/CannotCapture.htm  SignatureGraham Hughes MVP Digital Media www.myvideoproblems.com >I have made some films before using WMM with no problems.

It's a Panasonic NV-GS17 connected to a Dell Dimension 3000 PC via a USB cable. A week before this problem I completed a film, with the same camera in the same USB port as I have 4 or 5 times before so I don't understand why the sudden problem. Thanks, Graham, for your reply and I will try a firewire and see what happens. The link you gave me looks as though it will help IF I get a firewire. > What cam? > What connection?

Panasonic also use a new video/usb driver to allow you to capture dv.avi files rather than just mpeg ones. It's possible you have changed something on the pc which has meant MM no longer sees the usb port, which could be anything from unistalling or installing something or a windows update etc SignatureGraham Hughes MVP Digital Media www.myvideoproblems.com > It's a Panasonic NV-GS17 connected to a Dell Dimension 3000 PC via a USB > cable.
