Re Firewire 6th June Post

[carlton23]

I have succesfully installed the firewire as per your instructions, and am now asking for your help with further instructions on how to transfer films from my Canon MV830 Camcorder. I have spent all afternoon and evening trying to make sense of How to do it, so please if you have a spare hour I would really very much appreciate a little help, in simple instructions please. Many thanks in advance.

hi carlton, was looking for you earlier, how are you tonight ?

[carlton23]

`Lo` Anne, had a visit from the health dept, this morning and she has ordered 2 walking frames (zimmers), one for upstairs and t`other for down, and an electric bed that folds up and props you up and probably Line Dances around the bedroom, also a Commode for downstairs and a lifting seat to fix in the bath for a shower, so I`m being well looked after, thanks for asking.

Connect camera to computer using firewire lead.
Turn on camera in VCR (playback) mode.
Open Windows Movie Maker
Click on "Capture from video device"
Choose your capture options
Movie Maker will take control of the camera and start playback

Hi Rojash, many thanks again, I`ll let you know how I get on .

[carlton23]

Rojash, I have succesfully followed your instructions, and have edited my tape, but, when I tried to playback the film, a message appeared which said, "This application failed to start because MSVP90.II was not found,Re-installing the application may fix this problem". Once again this has me tied up in knots, please advise.

"but, when I tried to playback the film"
What format did you render your movie into?
Just to be clear - after editing the movie and saving the project file, you need to use "Save As" to render the movie into a standard format (such as AVI, etc) that can be played back in (say) WMP, GOM, VLC, etc.

What application were you using to playback the movie?

[carlton23]

Rojash, I`m at a loss to remember, is there some way I can find it?

[carlton23]

I will get back later, gone for dinner.

[carlton23]

I`m going to start again and be sure to make a note of where I put it.
