Re: Movie Maker hangs when importing Video from DV camera
Hi Clevo,
Thanks for your help. Yes I installed a trial version of Nero 8 and a
digital TV program but it seems that the problem is either the firewire port
or the firewire cable. I tried another DV Camera which I could queue but
would not import video. I then tried another firewire card and cable and it's
now working. That explains why there was no codec error but because it was
only half broken the problem was a bit harder to diagnose.
Cheers,
