I have been capturing 8mm video onto a windows xp dual athlon core machine successfully for over 70 tapes so far, coming in thru a canopus 110 unit. Oodles of hard drive space left, 2GB ram, etc.
all other aspects of the vegas program seem to be working just fine. The problem:
I hooked up a sony beta machine to the canopus and began to capture an old beta cassette. it worked for about 1 minute, then the preview screen went to solid blue. I tried a few more times to capture after powering down, rebooting, rechecking connections, reconnecting to device, etc.....
Since then, I have hooked up the original 8mm deck that I have been using, a VHS deck that I've successfully used in the past and I am unable to capture anything. The preview screen stays solid blue and does not even show the "help" link in the window that normally comes up when I first open the capture program.
If I choose the Capture tab, it does begin to capture, but the results are a solid blue screen only, no video or audio.
I've powered down, rebooted, tripled checked my connections, pressed the reconnect to device ad nauseum, nothing seems to work. I cannot find answers thru the knowlege base or references to this type of problem.
Any suggestions, is there a way to reload only the sony capture software? This is the only program I have loaded to do video capture with.
