[Dean Lao]

hi,
when i try to capture the video stream i have got this message "No valid video devices were detected. If you have a video device attached make sure it is a PAL device or change your preferences". eventhough, I have changed both the myDVD preferences and the camcorder to PAL I still got this message, I have also removed and re-installed Sonic myDVD 4.0, the sony usb driver, seat still 30 minutes to think what have I done wrong... I still got that bloody message. I'm here and need your help.

ATI Radeon 9600 series/256MB video card
CSB Audity 2 sound card

Can't find any reference to your camcorder, although I could find a DCR TRV250e mini DV camcorder. This has USB for still image capture and streaming webcam type video. For DV transfer you should be using Firewire (i-Link). This has the ability to control the camcorder as well as transfer the video data. That might be why it is saying it can't find it.
