RE: Can't get video to capture automatically from a DV camera
I'm having the same problem. Following the instructions step-by-step, and we
never get to a Capture Method page so I can click Capture entire page
automatically. Figured these might be old instructions for a previous
version or something? Anyone???
I did find, however, that while on the Capture Video Page you can take the
check OUT of the Create clips when wizard finishes box and it will capture
the entire video, BUT you need to sit and wait while the camera plays the
whole tape. I was hoping that the Capture Entire Video automatically would
be faster than that.
Has anyone been able to get this to work as per the instructions???
