[bigorangekitty]

i'm trying to burn with an external hp dvd writer, sonic mydvd, and right before it's about to start burning it says:
"Cannot perform operation, Pins are not connected. error xxxx" (obviously there are numbers where after the word error that i did not catch).

Please help!
thank you ahead of time!

its a error code w/ direct show problem indicated (almost always Microsoft DirectX 8.1 (C++))





VFW_E_NOT_CONNECTED 0x80040209 521

means that a file is not being read (rendered to windows) properly


other than that i have no idea how to fix or why its envoked on burning .

try upgrading/downgrading DirectX ? or reinstalling some software maybe

what are PINS and how can i connect them?
i've tried all sorts of different files, so it's not the files..

pins as in graphedit type of pins ... its a expression of a connection in software

I still have not figured out my "pins are not connected" error.

It seems to only happen when I capture an AVI with no compression.

It happened with DX8.1, and it happens with DX9. I have an AIW9700 with the newest drivers, and my capture drive is a dedicated RAID 0.

If anyone has any ideas, please help..

thanks
