Camera controll not possible!

3 other applications are recognizing and controlling my Panasonic DV Camera ok.
VV3 is seeing Video Device as beeing connected, however, when try to go to capture,
it is saing:
The device can not be opened make sure it is not used by other application.

The only way to print to video is if I start my camera manually.

I changed VV3 capture to Scenalyzer which works perfect. My Cinestream and Premiere 6 capture works perfect as well. I think there is a problem with VV3 capture/device controll segment.

Othervise, VV3 is very powerfool software. Hope, all the weak side will be fix soon.

Have you checked under Options-->Preferences to make certain that 'enable device control' is checked?

Vegas' vidcap will definitely control your device, but, it's a bit weak in the 'error' message department. You'll get those non-descript sort of messages if that box isn't checked, if you try to record to a write protected tape, etc.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I do (and did)have it checked.
