can't capture anything

[Steve52]

I am using a 9800 ati all in wonder card trying to capture from my vcr, everytime I open the capture program I get the message Operation buil on capture manager failed - failed to build preview graph. Also when I first open any of the roxio a file called DAO trys to install but can't. According to control panel add remove DAO is already installed. I can capture using windows movie maker and pinnacle but when I import to roxio and burn DVD I get no sound when I play it on the tv DVD player but it has sound when played on the computer. This program use to work fine. I have updated my video card drivers this year. Should I go back to the original drivers? I tried a fix that I found on the site but it did not work. It was to go to admin tools in xp pro go to services , media center receiving service and disable it. I could not find it in the service file, did find it on my task bar and shut it down but still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have 40 family movie video vcr tapes I need to burn to DVD.

 

Thanks Steve

I did and it starts now without that trying to load but I get the same message about oper build failed

I was able to correct the problem by uninstalling my video card drivers and going back to the original drivers that came wiyh the card. Now it captures fine vidoe and sound.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get this to work again?

1st off go to the multimedia section of the forums at rage3d.com . You'll find specific info on the drivers and problems encountered with different versions, along with which versions are recommended. The DAO software you refer to is a necessary component of ATI's MMC -- the latest version (12/06) will most likely not work with your card.

 

You can also try using the media import program with EMC9, or any of the PVR &/or capture software linked at videowave.com. [For PVR software, go to the site for that software and double check compatibility.]

 

As far as audio goes, ATI software usually captures audio in mpg format. I'm really guessing here, but you might try a short test converting the audio to something else before importing the mpg file into Videowave/MyDVD... Maybe it's having some sort of problem with the original format? If the DVDs play on your PC, can you check and see what format the audio is in -- it should be ac3. If it is AC3, could the audio settings for your DVD player need changing?

Thanks I will try these

Go back into Add/Remove programs and Un-install DAO.
