Can't capture from my DV camera !
God, I am so angry. Took me all day to configure win7 and install all the applications. Then I've conected my DV camera via FireWire. Windows detected and installed it - I even can see it in devices list.
Anyway, I tried to capture something via Exsate DV Capture Live, which I always used without having any problems on Vista x64, but I get this error: External Exception 800705AA. Ok, I thought maybe it was about that software, so I decided to try to capture something via Windows Live Photo Gallery (that's where the capture feature is). It sees my camera, but when I click on it, it says: The video device is currently in use. Close any other program that is using the device and try again. The thing is, nothing is using that device. I even tried rebooting, but that doesn't help.
Ok, tried with another software - some simple dv capture application. It sees my camera and I can even control my camera via that application (you know: play, pause, rewind etc.), but there's no video on the screen, just black background. Same with Adobe Premiere, which says the device is busy or something like that.
So it's not about software, but it has to do with something in Windows 7.
If anyone knows what's wrong and how to fix it, please help. If there's no solution for this, I will have to install Vista tomorrow morning and I really don't wanna do that as I've fallen in love with Win7 from the first moment. I won't have a choice tho since I use that camera for my work. That's why it's so important.
Anyway, I hope someone will know what's wrong and how to fix it. I would be very, very grateful !
Thanks in advance !
