Capturing video into Windows Movie Maker

[billybaroo]

Hi folks,

I bought a firewire cable today, wanted to do some basic editing in Windows Movie Maker for You Tube clips.

I have a windows xp laptop. My computer does recognize the camera, but I cant capture the video from my camera, on the tape. I have tried a few settings from advice on other posts, but i keep getting errors that the "the video was not captured correctly. Verify that your video camera and capture device are configured correctly."

I shot in HD, [FONT=&quot]the camera is in VCR mode and auto signal standard selected the downconversion is turned off.

Can someone take me through the basics on this?

I don't belive that Windows Movie Maker can edit HD/V.

Windows Movie Maker 6 for Windows Vista has support for HDV. You'll only be able to edit 60i though.

Thanks, I dont have Vista. Was just hoping to get some basic shots off the tape.
