I have been enjotying some success using EMC 7.5 lately, thanks to this board and ll the positive responses for us, new users.

I am trying to capture video form a VCR, that is connected through a harware I recently bought. I am able to lauch the Capture Video (after cancelling first error: Source Failure in response to MSG= OPEND. Bummer Error. STI error Code= 0x80070491) and also able to see the video, but cannot hear sounds.

My real problem, however, is that when ever I push the capture button to start the recording process I get the error after cancelling the above error code:
"Incorrect STI Driver detected, for current video Capture driver, please re-install driver".

This is telling me that I need updated driver, but where Do I get it or where on my CPU do I run the file? (Please direct me on how to fix tis problem. I have some VHS, that I want to capture to mpegs.


Thank you..

Could you please provide information about the "hardware" that you recently bought?

Its a Pinnacle Dazzle DVD Recorder. I have been using it to tranfer old VHS recording directly to DVD. It gives no options to select specific portion of the recordings, therefore I want to capture a certain portion of the VHS to mpeg, then burn to DVD.

Like I said before. I have no problem converting these to DVD......


I wonder if I record to from it DVD then create a second new DVD with that specific part, will I be able to capture it without any problems......?..(this is my confused mind thinking)

That's aka the Dazzle DVC-100 which is the same device you can get with EMC 10.
Since you're using 7/7.5 I'm going to take for granted that you're using Windows XP.
Go to Device Manager,look under Sound,video,game controllers and see if you have 2 entries for the Dazzle.One should be Dazzle DVC100 Video device and the other the same expect Audio.If you don't have both then the drivers are not loaded correctly.
If this is the case then  go to the Control Panel,Add/Remove programs and see if you have an entry for Pinnacle and uninstall it if you do.Also in the Device Manager if you see an entry for the Dazzle right click it and uninstall it also.
Now go here and download the latest drivers.Unplug the Dazzle and reboot with out it connected.Once rebooted install the drivers you downloaded.After that ,plug in the Dazzle and it should be recognized and the drivers loaded for it.
Once you've done that try and capture again and see what happens.

If you do have 2 entries then I'm not sure what that error means.I tried to Google it and all I got was a bunch of stuff about a Radar detector...lol
Another thing is do you have Windows Service Pack 2 loaded?This is a requirement on the Pinnacle site for the 100.That may just be for the included software though,I'm not sure.

I have the 100 installed on my machine and it works just fine with both XP and Vista.That is in version 9 and 10 though.If I have a chance I can try on my laptop which has v7.5

Ok,as far as the error messages I think you're hitting the wrong capture.In your capture screen do you have 2 Dazzle icons?If so the first one is for capturing still images.The one you want is the one with a picture of a webcam.
I was able to capture video on my laptop which has v7.5.
During capture I couldn't hear the audio but once I played back the file it had sound no problem.I'm sure this is because of the sound chip in my laptop.
What I did have to do also was when I was in the capture screens,on the first screen hit the Settings button at the bottom.When you get in there make sure the Audio settings show the Dazzle as the device,not your sound card.

You are the greatest! I am so excited on the support level that is available on this site. I am able to actually capture video now. That right I was selecting the wrong icon in video capturing.

BTW, one more thing, I have the two driver installed in the Device Manager so I don't know why I got that error message anyway. I am curious that I am not able to capture still images. I will try again and report later.

Again, many thanks to everyone here at Roxio Board..

Well, I am sad to say that I don't know how to capture still images from a video files. I am using IE6, w/SP2...
Is there a how to on how to actually capture a still jpeg/tiff from a mpeg file?

Any help is appreciated...

If you play the file in Sonic Cineplayer, that has a 'snapshot' feature where you can capture individual frames - just click on the 'camera' icon and tell it where you want the first one saved and its name - after that, it will automatically save each 'click' with the same name but a different time stamp

Sorry, we posted at the same time; I think this was in Media Manager also.

Open Media Manager, navigate to the video file and right click on it.  Select extract image.  Play until you find the image you want and extract.  Note that the image will be a video image resolution which is far from a still image from a camera.

Thank you..

Glad that got it working for you.I got the same error message when I clicked on the first icon.
I think the reason you get that message is the program is looking for a Twain -type device,which the Dazzle isn't one of.
