I have a Dell laptop running Vista that came with EMC 9 pre-installed.  I connected my Canon miniDV via firewire.  I can control the camera and view the output but I am unable to capture it -- the capture buttons are dimmed.  Is this a trial version of EMC?  I am able to copy video to the pc via moviemaker.  The cam is on the list of approved ones.

Thanks.

The versions that are already pre-installed are OEM versions are though they may vary, they do not have all the bells and whistles of the full retail versions.  Most of the software that comes pre-installed is the same way.......junk!

The Dell DE version is not a full retail version. Have you asked them, Dell?

Asking Dell anything is an exercise in frustration, but I have posted this to their support forum.

I was fed-up with Dell and Gateway in the 90's. I build my own!

If you want dump the DE 9 and download the 9 trial version. If you like it buy a retail version..
