I have used Movie Factory 2, other ulead trials, Pinnacle 8, movie maker 2, video wave 4, and a few others. I can only capture in video wave 4, all the others say it can not initialize the dv capture card.
Why in Video wave does it work, but no others. Pinnacle told me to re-connect the 1394, but that can't be the problem due to video wave works. Besides, I have never disconnected it. I would appreciate any help, please be gentle on the computer lingo, spell it out for me. javascript:emoticon('')
Embarassed Some of my info is as follows:

Dell 8200 (I would ask Dell, but I like to get a response from people)javascript:emoticon('')
Evil or Very Mad
dvd+rw philips d28
nvidia 64 graphics card
dazzle breakout box
I am unsure on how to find out what capture card I have
2.4 g processor
200 gig hd
756 rd ram
I have been downloading the video from either my 8mm camcorder or vcr and transferring them into mpeg's with video wave. New digital camcorder is on its way.

I am also getting audio sync probs when I am able to capture with video wave. It is sync'd just fine for awhile, but it slowly begins to lag and after about 30 minutes I have about a one second lag in video to audio sync. Any help there? Thanks.
