Runtime Error

[wilgrow_co]

I am getting the runtime error when I am trying to import my media into Roxio today. Sadly, this has worked fine before (albeit hold your breath - don't touch anything on the keyboard - fine) but now is simply crapping out.

 

There is that page that tells you to update direct X, then uninstall and re-install, then create a new user account.

 

All tried, with no success.

 

I have an HDV camcorder that is recording on magnetic MiniDV tapes. I just want to transfer onto my PC hard disk, then store on digital media (like DVD or DVD-DL or maybe even Blu-Ray).

 

Can someone, anyone, suggest a better product that will work - oh I don't know - 75% of the time would make me happy. ?

 

Anyone at all?

What has been updated lately? Any new programs?

 

I assume that you are trying to capture the video via Firewire and not through a USB port.

 

Are you using or did you use a registry cleaner? Those usually screw up EMC programs.

 

Do a clean install making sure that you have turned off your anti-virus.

Oh, that *is* priceless.

 

So I do a fresh install. Really fresh. No more error. But, the drop down device, once selected, refuses to "stick". More searching. Not sure if I am getting worse, or better. :/

sknis made an assumption about firewire. I will ask, since you failed to mention it. Are you using a firewire connection?

 

Actually, you failed to answer anything that he asked. It is tough to help someone, when you have to pull teeth to get an answer.

I agree and thanks for reminding the OP that help is a two way discussion !

 

I'll assume that the OP will come back with some smart remark (since I'm in the assuming mode).

Hey, If I were smart. I might have figured it out by now!

 

Yes, to asnwer the question - going in via FireWire. IEEE1394, IFIRC. Also, assumption correct - I did feel the urge to run some "registry cleaner" before said error occurred. But have since removed the application en toto.

 

So, no sense of humor, huh? Pity. Without it I would have gone crazy long ago.

 

Since my trials and tribulations I have been pointed to Magix and Ulead, and VideoReDo (which seems pretty simple for an MPEG2 tool) and downloaded what could or could not be a legal copy of Studio 10. If Studio 9 had HDV support, 10 has to, right?

 

Honestly anyone that reads and posts I appreaciate. Even if at times I appear cheeky.

If you ran a registry cleaner over the suite, I'm afraid you are going to have to bite the bullet and do the 'clean install' routine to remove all traces of EMC and then re-install
