I'm new to DV and this site so please bear with me. I have a JVC GR-DX97US video camera and cannot for the life of me get the thing to capture a full video tape. I have used several different software programs (Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere Elements & ImageMixer) with no success. The typical scenario is I connect the camera via fire wire, the software begins capturing the video and after a few minutes the software freezes up and the capture stops. The video capture does not stop in the same place each time. It can be 1 minute or 20 minutes of capture before things go haywire. I usually have to reboot the PC to get things working again. I have a Dell PC, Pentium 4, 1.6GHz, 512MB RAM, 40GB and 250GB hard drives with lots of space on them. I have tried capturing to both hard drives to no avail. Has anyone experienced this before and have a solution? Thanks for taking the time to read this.
