I have the Hauppauge WinTV2... I have a video camera with the cables that
connect to the WINTV2 box (the video, audio ight, and audio left
cable)...here is my problem... Windows Movie Maker doesn't acknowledge the
fact that there is a video device connected, and the video won't play in the
media center. I don't see the video showing up at all in the media center tv
guide - live tv option. All I see is normal cable channels and no "video-in"
at all. The media center "help" section is really bad about the whole "help"
thing, there aren't that many topics to choose from and nothing about
connecting video to the WinTv2 box or media center.
What can I do? What am I doing wrong??

Movie Maker isn't designed to work with analog connections such as the one
you are describing. If the WinTV2 box has analog inputs then it should have
also come with software to capture through those inputs. I am unfamiliar
with WinTV2 so I can't instruct outside of that. Use the software that came
with it to capture to your hard drive (hopefully not as an MPEG file or it
will need to be converted) and import the resulting clip into Movie Maker.
