I'm having problems capturing minidv over firewire, both in VMS8 and VMS10. All seems well, and capturing starts just fine, but as soon as I minimize the Capture window and then maximize it again, the capture programme crashes...
Any thoughts on this?
Like the old joke, "Doc, it hurts when i do this!" "Well then, don't do that."
Not really a solution to the problem, but at least you can avoid the problem by not minimizing. If you really need to see something else on the screen instead of the capture window then simply click that something's button in the task bar to bring it forward without having to minimize the capture program.
Right now I'm capturing with MS Movie Maker (huray for Bill!)... and I'm going to try when finished. I think even using the taskbar button will yield a crash, but I'm not sure, so I'll test once more.
Minidv technology has been around for so long ... it should not crash. I contacted Sony Support about this.
