I use a little Canon HV40 whenever I need to capture DV tape but I haven't had to do this since I uninstalled/reinstalled Win 7 (64) and having issues.
The HV40 does show up and is selected as device in prefs and the play/stop buttons seem to control it (although VERY sluggish) but it doesn't capture ...actually it does but it's less than a second).
So I went to prefs/video and selected use external application (C:\prog files\sony VP12\vidcap60.exe)...now vidcap says it can't open the hv40...I open vidcap and with the cam off it displays no device detected as expected and then turn the hv40 on and it shows the logo and that it's connecting ( specifically to the hv40) and then I get device canon hv40 could not be opened...please make sure that it is turned on and not being used by another app.
If I turn the hv40 off vid cap displays please connect a device...then if I turn it back on it goes through the same procedures as above.
So vidcap obviously sees it but can someone tell me what's going on please?
Thanks very much,
Randy
