Not in Device manager and will not capture.

I have another post going saying that I can not capture smooth video, it was always choppy. Well now I finally got it so the video runs smoothly and plays well in Vegas Video but the problem is now it won't capture the video.
VV3.0a will not run my camera now and if I push play on my camera the video plays fine in VV but when I click capture I get a message saying no video was captured.
Also I no longer have "Imaging Device" in my Device manager.
Now what can be my problem?

It sounds like you need to reinstall the Microsoft drivers for your OHCI 1394 card. I fought a problem similar to this and I had to get my camera to read the MS drivers instead of the Texas Instruments files. Now the device control, capture and print to DV tape work great. Be sure to use the MS drivers. Check SF support area for how to do this if you need help.

Check out Help->Sonic Foundry on the Web->OHCI and DV Information.

The DV device must show up under Imaging Devices, and in Video Capture if must show up under the Video menu as "Microsoft DV Camera and VCR".

I finally got the Microsoft DV camera and VCR drivers working again, thankyou for the help.
But now the video is choppy again. With the Texas INstruments the video is smooth but I can't capture and with the Microsoft drivers I can capture but the video is choppy. Unbelievable.

Is the video choppy in the captured file or just during preview from the DV device?

Drop any frames?

What OS/DV device?

DMA enabled?

Video is choppy in both the preview and the captured video (playback).
There are no dropped frames.
- I have the DMA enabled on my hardrives.
- There are no conflicts in my IRQs
- Hardrive drivers are up todate.
- I installed the Via 4-1 Drivers.
- I tried the VIA Bus Master PCI IDE utility.
- I'm unable to give my Capture card its own IRQ.
- My BIOS does not have a PCI latency setting.
- My motherbard is a MSI K7T pro 2 (BIOS has been updated)
- My computer is a AMD 1ghz with 655mb of RAM
- Im using a 20gb hardrive and a 120gb hardrive
Vegas Video worked fine for me before, but Ive added another drive and formated since my last project.

Do you have more than one drive to capture to now, so you could test with another drive?
Borske wrote on 3/8/2002, 7:29 PM
Ive tried to capture to all my drives. I have both drives partitioned into two. So Ive tried to capture to four different drives and they all react the same. Choppy video.

Formatted as FAT32 or NTFS?
Borske wrote on 3/9/2002, 10:32 AM
Formated as a fat 32

I found that even when I don't try to capture but just preview the video in VV3 it is choppy.

Sorry I haven't read the whole thread, but have you tried defragging? And, while I wouldn't touch FAT32 myself, it should give you the speed, but just what throughput are you measuring?

Is this drive cabled properly?
Borske wrote on 3/15/2002, 10:15 AM
The drive is cabled with IDE cables if thats what you mean. The drive works fine for everything but VV3.
Cheesehole wrote on 3/15/2002, 2:35 PM
he probably means are the IDE cables 80 conductor, specifically for ATA-66 or ATA-100 drives? or are they the cheaper IDE cables that are meant for non ATA33/66/100 devices?
deef wrote on 3/15/2002, 4:01 PM
exactly.
Borske wrote on 3/16/2002, 11:57 PM
My cables are 80pin and my drives are ata100.

You may want to try taking out as many PCI cards as possible and then try using the 1394 card in a different slot and see if you can get improved performance.
