DV transfer (capture) a few seconds then connection drops

Have you tried reregistering the quartz.dll file as well (Start>Run>regsvr32 quartz.dll)? Reboot and see if any change.

no problems are reported with Quartz - would reregistering do anything?

It fixed a problem I had with importing WAV files into my video editor a few years ago. DXDiag didn't show any problems (does it ever? ) and I could play the files OK. Can't hurt.

Actually thinking about it I've run a rereg bat file before that I found on Papa John's WMM web site a while ago which was advocated for fixing some WMM problems. Here's the text for the file, you can create a .bat file in Notepad for running it.

regsvr32 /s qdv.dll
regsvr32 /s quartz.dll

regsvr32 /s wmvcore.dll
regsvr32 /s wmvadve.DLL

regsvr32 /s shimgvw.dll
regsvr32 /s msxml.dll
regsvr32 /s msxml2.dll
regsvr32 /s msxml3.dll

regsvr32 /s "%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\wmm2fxa.dll"
regsvr32 /s "%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\wmm2fxb.dll"
regsvr32 /s "%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\wmm2ae.dll"
regsvr32 /s "%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\wmm2filt.dll"
regsvr32 /s "%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\wmmfilt.dll"
regsvr32 /s "%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\wmm2ext.dll"

I re-registered Quartz, but no further along.

I also got the dump filter and routed the output of the camera directly to dump, but the same problem, only a few seconds.

So that's gotta be the simplest possible graph, direct from source to dump file, no splitters or decoders or anything, and it still didn't work.

Yes, that's essentially the same graph I described (our DV writer is basically a dump filter).

I came across a tool a while ago that would let you see the messages that go up and down the filter graph. I'll try to find it.
