Hi I've just recently arrived home from a trip where I took some video
capture.
I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem, but I've posted on a Video
Site as well detailing the problem I'm having which I've enclosed
below..
Please excuse the repeat post...but I don't want to type it out
again..
I have read a number of post's here, however I am beginging to have my
doubts. When I purhased the Panasonic PV-GS120 I was assured by the
salesman that I could download via USB. I have just returned from a
trip overseas and am rather eager to play with the footage...but
alas....all I seem to be able to do is download the still frame from
the memory card. I have installed the driver included in the software
and also put DV Studio on the computer. There was no other software,
however I have previously used Ulead and Adobe for making video
animations.
I am using an Acer Exensa2300 but it does not have Firewire installed.
So my question is....is there anyway to download via USB.
If I have to purchase Firewire...I gather that it will come on a PCI
card..
Is this a card that I can just slot in...or does the machine need to be
upgraded at a service center. Also if my USB's are version 1...will I
even be able to utilize the functions that a USB 2 might supply ??
Is there away to avoid this (service center)...as my computer has quite
a lot of sensitve data on it...and I really prefer not to leave it with
technicians.
PS Currently when I try to capture I am being informed that Video
Capture is unable to access the capture device.
Also...What format is the video saved to on the Video Cam and is it
necessary to work in AVI format, or can I retain the format it is saved
to on the tapes..
Other than that thank you for any advice you can supply.
