GR-D33 digital camcorder no vid
Hi! I have a jvc GR-D33U camcorder. I am running WinXP home on a Athlon 200XP sitting in a new Gigabyte board along with a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound and an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro Vid card with the latest Catalyst drivers, and am using Firewire. I am currently trying to use Windows Movie Maker, Ulead VideoStudio 7 SE DVD and ImageMaker Version 1.7. The problem is I cannot capture from the camera. The camera will run just fine while I am trying to capture-but I get nothing in the preview area of the programs I am trying to use and nothing gets captured. I am at my wits end with this thing. One error message I get says that the file is too short. Now after piddling with it for several hours the camera is not even being seen by the computer any longer. Should I just return this thing and get a diffrent name brand? Any help at all would be appreciated.
Ok I got it to see the camera AGAIN and now I get an error message about the file being corrupted on all the programs I am trying to use. Very frustrating indeed.
