I have to do a work around for getting my video into my Easy Media 7 applications because when I hook in the digital camera with a firewire connector, it always has this medium to loud background noise throughout the time I am trying to work with it.

I try holding the camera farther away from the computer, but that does not help.

With this problem, then I have to use Windows XP's Movie Maker which refuses to write to a DVD, just a Video CD. It creates a WMV formatted video which I am attempting to use as one clip in the Video Wave 7 appliction. Right now the DVD creation is supposedly in progress.

We shall see if that works, but I'd rather skip the more lengthy workaround I just described if I could eliminate the noise that accompanies the video capture process.

Thanks,


Bruce

I have never heard of this problem before so it's probably something specific to your computer.

If you can capture with Windows Movie Maker, try capturing the video in smaller segments.    When you're using digital video, you can start and stop capture and the resulting video should be 'seamless'.

You might also try a small free program called WinDV which will capture video based on the timecode in your camcorder.    (Google to find it.)

If you have room on your hard drive, I'd recommend capturing in DV AVI because that's importing 'raw' video.

Once you've captured the video with another program, you can use it directly in VideoWave by bringing it into the Media Selector.    Just click on the drop down box at the top and find the folder where you've imported the video.   Once you've found the video, click on it to put it in the Media Selector.

Hope that helps.
