Re: no sound on capture
Well I took your advice and brought a firewirecable and port. With caution I
opened my tower and was very proud off myself when I installed the card and restarted the computer to find it worked. I didn't blow up my computer! Thank you. The purchase was only £40 and worth every penny to capture my DV filming onto disc. Next step is to advance on my editing. I used windows movie maker as this is very easy to follow but also very basic. Can you suggest other software? "Wojo" wrote: > When you open the case you will see slots on the motherboard.

Re: no sound on capture
Firewire not Firewall and yes the IEEE1394 port is the firewire port. As
long as your camera supports firewire then you really should by the 1394 cable and use that to capture I guarantee you will like the results better. -Wojo "sap" <sap@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B9EFE69C-67BD-4718-AE12-290AEBC263A6@microsoft.com... > I'm having the same problem to.

Re: no sound on capture
Awesome! I told you it was easy!
Well for actual video editing there are a ton of programs out there but I still use Movie Maker. I have plenty of other tools I use to create things to make my movies better but I always go back to Movie Maker to put it all together. You just made me decide though that I am going to add a new page to my website listing all the tools I have as well as other less expensive (I have spent a TON of money on my toolbox) options and what I use them for. -Wojo "JAP" <JAP@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:20C8E713-B556-456F-BE2D-7E133B5EFBE8@microsoft.com... > Well I took your advice and brought a firewirecable and port.

Re: no sound on capture
I've checked out your site and I now await until you have loaded your new
page. From what you are saying, does this mean I'm not limited to the tools in moviemaker but can actually use others? Then pull it all together in moviemaker? I'll continue to experiment with moviemaker and look out on how to use other tools from your website. Thanks, you have made my little movie more enjoyable. "Wojo" wrote: > Awesome!

Re: no sound on capture
Exactly. For instance I may put together some panning and zooming images in Photo Story 3 and save them as a WMV file. I may then use Ulead GIF animator to create an animated GIF and then use Photoshop to create a custom overlay and then take all those components and put them together in Movie Maker. -Wojo "JAP" <JAP@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E9AF936D-E239-486E-A4D2-9538E2B1D327@microsoft.com... > I've checked out your site and I now await until you have loaded your new > page.
