Complete Newbie to VD. I just installed vs. 1.8.8 with filters (from Digital FAQ forum http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/showthread...-pre-1727.html). I am able to open existing MPEG2 files (captured with MS Movie Maker &/or VideoStudio 11) but can't figure out how to get VD to capture using the same hardware &O/S.

When I start VD then click Capture AVI on main menu > it opens in Capture Mode, "connected to capture device Angel MPEG (Direct Show)" appears. On capture menu clicked Capture Video > popup says "set capture file" > main menu click set capture file > enter a file name > start camcorder playback > capture menu click Capture Video > popup says "Unable to start video capture". At this point, I'm totally lost.

O/S Win MCE (XP Pro) with all updates, Pentium 4 & 1GB RAM. Capture hardware is Angel MPEG Device (DirectShow). http://www.lumanate.com/Downloads/Docs/AngelPciProdBrief.pdf

What am I doing wrong & how can I fix it so VD will capture?
