Device offline cannot capture

Recently bought a sony vaio with windows vista which has a sony visual communication webcam installed just above the screen. Have tried to use adobe elements 4 and my webcam is offline. Have changed the settings to WDM capture and this hasn't worked. I know its a simple problem but I don't want to try changing the settings (I'll make thing worse).

Can you explain the problem more?

  • IEEE 1934 devices report as being Offline in Capture Mode

    I recently found the need to capture video. I had an OHCI compliant IEEE 1934 card professionally installed. Windows recognizes the card and reports it as working properly. When I connect a Firewire device, windows recognizes a device had been attached and detached when I disconnect which indicates the cables and connections are fine.
    I have three Firewire devices, two of which are on the Device Setup list located in the Capture Preferences of Premiere 2.0. They include:
    JVC HR-DVS2U
    Panasonic AG DVX-100
    My third device is a Cannon ZR45 MC and while I understand only the ZR40 and ZR50 are listed, I figure the functionality would be so similar, that the ZR45 would have at best limited support within Premiere.
    All devices report as being Offline. I’ve read the manual and went through each step more than 4 times with each device and the conclusion is the same. Might there be a step within Windows that I need to perform first?
    Dual Pentium Xeon 2.4Ghz
    Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 2
    3 GB RAM
    Premiere 2.x

    I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to help answer and troubleshoot my problem.
    When researching the web for answers, to include Microsoft’s web site, I discovered many people had the same issues, but for different reasons. Most seemed to stem from service pack or updates received in Vista. Some derived after upgrading from XP Home to XP Pro. I kind of thought this was my issue since all my IEEE devices work with XP home on a very old Sony laptop, but not XP Pro on a rather capable workstation. In the literally hundreds of pages, posts and articles I read through, none of them helped me and according to most who have posted trouble with devices unseen by Windows or offline by any number of different editing aps, there were no fixes. My solution came quite by accident.
    I don’t know if this is typical for all OHCI compliant cards not installed by a computer manufacturer, but the one I have comes with a utility called The Switch. It enables one to use either it’s built in drivers that are used by default, or Windows drivers. When I used The Switch, the Installation Wizard auto detected the Canon, and began installing about 7 drivers at the end of which, Premiere saw and manipulated the cam. I tried the same thing for the JVC. All but one driver (T.V. Tuner) was installed, however Premiere still recognized and controlled the deck. Due to time restraints, I only tried playback, shuttle, pause and stop, but there should be no reason capture won’t work.
    I hope this helps others who are experiencing device offline issues. I urge you to post your solutions even if they are different from mine.

  • Capture Device Offline error message

    Hi,
    I have a new iMac and am not able to capture video.  I get the "capture device offline" message.  I am having to use a Thunderbolt.  When I use the same camera settings on my old Mac in FCP, it works fine.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    Is a "Thunderbolt" a Firewire device?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    If not, then please try this sequence:
    1) Remove AppWorld from your BB
    KB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
    If it requests that you reboot the BB, do so
    2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot (power on, remove battery, wait, insert battery, wait), even if redundant to the one you did in step 1.
    3) Install (on your BB) a fresh copy of AppWorld
    http://blackberry.com/appworld/download
    Again, if it requests to reboot, do so.
    4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
    5) See if it now works.
    Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Capturing video with DV camcorder says "Capture Device Offline"

    Just trying to capture video already recorded on my camcorder. The firewire is setup correctly and the options are all right, but the capture window still says "Capture Device Offline".
    Somebody help me?!?!?!

  • "Capture Device Offline" message

    I borrowed a friend's SONY camcorder to shoot some footage. He suggested Adobe Premiere for editing it. I downloaded the trial software and now I'm trying to capture the video. I had to buy a firewire card to connect to my computer. When I load Premiere, I go to the project and try to capture, but above a black screen it says, "Capture Device Offline." I'm pretty sure that my card, cable, and camcorder are all connected properly. I surmised this since when I connected them all, the screen on the camcorder went from saying "16bit" to "DV IN". I've read a bunch of the forum topics on this, but the solutions don't seem to be exactly related to what's going on here. I checked my Device Manager and there's no exclamation mark next to the IEEE 1394... nor its subfolder, VIA 1394 OHCI...
    I'm only somewhat computer savvy, so I'm hoping someone can assist. Thanks,
    Caleb

    I see that this thread is marked as answered, but as I have found a slightly different solution I shall mention it here.
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and have installed Adobe PP CS5. I have just tried to capture standard DV from my old handycam and encountered the same problem as outlined above.
    After trying most of the fixes without success I finally worked out a solution that worked for me. Here it is and I hope it helps.
    Connect the camera to the PC using a firewire and when prompted by Windows select edit video in Premiere Pro.
    When PP opens, or you already have PP open, go to File>Capture  and the Capture window appears. At the top you will see the message "Capture Device Offline".
    Here you can test whether or not your device is  connected properly by clicking on the play button at the bottom of the dialogue box which should start the tape playing in your camera. You won't see anything happen in the Capture box .
    Click on the Settings  tab in the Capture window and under Capture Settings  click on Edit...and change the Capture Format from the default HDV  to DV  and click OK.
    The capture window should now show the connection to your camera. .
    You can also change the Device control settings here, but I have no idea what happens if you don't. I usually check all my settings, especially things such as PAL etc...
    You can later change the Preferences, if you like, by going to Edit>Preferences>Device Control> Options which should avoid you having to do this each time.
    I will just mention ( not strictly speaking related ) that another bug in CS5 seems to be an error message that comes up if you have a lot of scenes and you use split scene, as I do. The message says "SRC\FileManager\FileManagerIMPC.cpp -94".
    If you get this message, the capture will appear to stall, but as long as the tape is still running in your camera, leave it alone. Do nothing. The footage is still being captured to your Hard Drive.
    Once the tape has finished, close the error message which will close Prem Pro.
    You will then need to re-open the project and import the captured files from the folder you captured it to.
    Just one last suggestion. If for some reason this does not work for you, and it should as long as your firewire connection is sound, you can always capture DV footage using Windows Movie Maker in Windows XP, or by using Photo Gallery in Vista or Windows 7. It does a pretty good job and saves you having to install another program.

  • Capture Device Offline

    I have recently purchased an ACER Aspire 5735Z laptop and have installed Adobe Premiere Elements 3 on it.  I have also purchased a firewire express card and firewire to dv cable in order to connect my Canon MV700 Mini DV Camcorder.  When I insert my express card in the slot, my device manager tells me that my 'IEEE 1394 Host Controller' is working properly.  However, my camcorder does not appear in device manager (camcorder is powered on and switched to playback mode).  When I attempt to 'Get media from DV camcorder' within Prem Ele 3, I get the message 'Capture Device Offline'.  I have looked at the online help pages and attempted to change capture settings but it doesn't make any difference.  I would be really grateful for any help with this problem.

    Hunt
    When I connect my camcorder to my laptop, I get the bing-bong noise but no
    icon in the taskbar.  Also, when I try to import within Windows Moviemaker,
    the message 'Import video could not find a compatible digital video device.
    Verify that the digital video device is properly connected and turned on'.
    I have since connected a friend's Sony Mini DV camcorder to my laptop using
    exactly the same method.  As soon as the device was switched to playback, it
    instantly appeared in the taskbar and within device manager.  I was able to
    import video within Windows Moviemaker, but using Premiere Elements 3 I
    still got the message 'Capture Device Offline'.
    It has been suggested that I need to install drivers for my Canon MV700 but
    it never came with a cd.  I have checked online and have only been able to
    find a driver download for XP and not Vista.

  • Capture Device Offline! Please help

    I edit and capture EVERYDAY, nothing has been changed between yesterday and today...NOTHING.
    I have a MacPro, Canon XH-A1s, using Premiere CS4.
    When I got to capture, it says capture device offline!
    I have seen this before, but was with my old standard def Sonycam, not my HDV CAM.
    Any thoughts?

    A couple of thoughts:
    Does you Mac "see" the camera, when plugged in and turned on? [On a PC, one gets a little tone and the camera shows up in Device Manager.]
    Do you have another FW cable to test with?
    Have you possibly chosen the wrong Mode for the camera?
    Do other FW devices work on that FW connector?
    Again on the PC, there can be an important flow with some cameras - some need to be plugged-in, turned on, and THEN PrPro launched, and then the Capture module. As you can see, there are several possible combos of steps. Maybe try a different order, like plugging in the camera, starting PrPro, and the Capture module, and THEN turning the camera ON.
    Just thinking here, and good luck,

  • "Capture device offline" - using Logitech webcam 9000

    I am wanting to capture video using my Logitech webcam 9000, but I get "Capture device offline" in Adobe Premiere Pro when I attempt to capture video.  Could someone provide some guidance on how to get this to work?
    I used this webcam to capture video in Corel Visual Studio just fine, but I am having issues in Adboe.
    thanks.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Given that hardware, I would just continue using Corel. You can Export from it, or perhaps that would be a Save operation (do not know that software), and then Import those files into PrPro for editing.
    I do not even think that OnLocation will be suitable for the hardware.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Capture device goes offline interrupting capture.

    Sony DSR V-10
    PPro CC
    Dell Inspiron 660
    Win 7 Pro
    8gb ram
    Startech PCI 1394a Firewire card

    Thanks for the response.
    I capture SD video from tape using Sony DSR V10. I installed a fire wire card for interface. PPro capture controls work fine however during capture the device goes offline interrupting capture. I can save the clip and get an entire capture using multiple clips by overlapping. Once the capture device goes offline I stop the deck manually but as soon as it stops the capture device & controls come back online..I rewind, overlap and continue. It goes offline erratically. I have played with security interruptions, auto-save and no relief.

  • Capturing device offline

    I keep getting "Capturing Device Offline". Other than making sure all wires are plugged in correctly and and the camera is on VCR is there any other way to trouble shoot this problem?? I already went out and bought a new firewire plug and IT doesn't work either. Keep getting the same messsage.

    Sorry, Bill, I did check those settings out and found them to be DV, but failed to mention that in my last post. Still alittle frustrated, tho, on why everything seems to be connected and the settings are correct but still get that message. I even bought a new firewire thinking it might be that, but no change. Any more suggestions?

  • Cannot Download Apps: device offline state???

    Everytime I try to download an app from appworld, it says "Cannot get new oken due to device offline state (Error Id:40760). Please help if you know how to fix this 

    The specific error you cite is not yet published in the public KBs:

    Perhaps your search will reveal better results than mine. However, some clarifications are needed before I attempt to provide you any further guidance.
    Is this error achieved when you use, via USB/tether, the PC/browser version of AppWorld?
    Or is this error achieved via the on-device AppWorld interface?

  • Uncontrollable Device Cannot Capture Now

    Hello Folks,
    I have not lurked here in a while so I hope you folks are well and good. Shane and Jerry and them keeping y'all straight no doubt.
    I did not start doing this yesterday so when it comes to analog capture, I usually can do this. I capture from VHS using SVideo through a DATAVIDEO TBC-100, the SVideo from that to the Y/C input on a Kona LH. In FCP6.0.4 I have told it non-controllable device everywhere I know and I still get an error when I hit capture now. It says "Attempt to capture video without a video device selected. Please select a video device in your capture presets and try again." If I go the the Capture Settings tab, non-controllable device is selected.
    As I said, I have done this many times but may not have tried since the last QT & FCP updates. I am running all the latest updates. Updated the drives in my RAID and really want to test the system.
    I would appreciate any solid help,
    Robert A. Ober

    Makes perfect sense if one has experienced user tapes with messed up timing. The TBC does time base correcting.
    The Kona LH 525 ProRes 422 preset did work. Interesting that it claims to use 10 bit which did not work the other way. Maybe it is not using the Kona hardware digitizer in any way. Seems like I may have had 10 bit trouble previously. Might check for a Kona driver update.
    Y'all have some fun,
    Robert:-)

  • Device offline in PE 3

    I've been using PE 3 for years on my old Windows XP PC.  I'm trying to get it to run on my laptop which is now my main computer. The laptop uses Vista. Installation goes OK, but when I try to capture (through a Firewire connection) I get the 'Device Offline' note.  In the Device menu options section, the 'Check Status' says 'Online'.  I've tried out nearly every combination of setting, but still the Device Offline message keeps coming up.  I tried my setup again on the old PC, and it still works on that machine, but I'm trying to de-commission it as it's too slow.  Is there any well-known reason for this not working on the more upto date laptop which I may have missed?  I know PE3 is old technology, but I like it and am used to it.  The laptop has only a 1.83Gh processor, otherwise I may be tempted to try PE 10, which requires at least 2Gh.  Thanks for any answers you ay have. David.

    Well, Capture to a DV-AVI file is not totally lossless. The transfer of the bytes of data IS lossless - just 1's and 0's, but when one goes to the DV-AVI will compress those data slightly (not enough to really see, unless one were to look very, very closely).
    Now, Windows Movie Maker (not the Live version, which has other limitations) will only allow one to Export to DV-AVI Type I. PrE is built around DV-AVI Type II. One difference is that with Type I's, there is a Duration/File Size limit, but few ever reach it. Unfortunately, I cannot recall what it is, but you can still get some pretty long Duration files, and never hit that. However, next there can be some OOS (Out Of Syn) issues with the DV-AVI Type I's, though not always. When there is, it is most often static, and does not drift over time. That is very easy to fix in PrE, should it happen.
    Instead of using WMM to Capture, one might want to explore SceneAlyzer, which is the capture module, that many users feel Adobe should have incorporated. It has some really good features, and seems to work well on the vast majority of computers, with a wide array of miniDV tape cameras.
    Good luck,
