PE7 won't recognise my DVD camera to capture clips

I have captured my DVD clips in the past via Premier Elements 7 (PE7) without any problem. However, right now, when I want to capture my clips and I go into Organize, Get Media, and click on DVD (Camcorder or PC DVD Drive) under the Source, my DVD Camera is not listed. It does not seem to recognise that my DVD Camcorder is connected. Yet, when I connect my DVD to the computer Windows ‘DVD Digital Device’ panel comes up and asks me if I want to capture videos using Windows Movie Maker, Nero Vision Essential or ‘Edit Record Video using Adobe Premier Elopements’.
I have captured some clips using Windows Media Maker (WMM), so the computer seems to recognise the device and the camcorder is functioning. It would seem however, that WMM does not record the split clips in the folder but records it as one clip, although when you go into WMM you can edit clip by clip. But I want to use PE7 for editing and because of the size of my files, it is essential that the clips be split as they were recorded.
I have reinstalled the original PE7 Disk to ‘repair’ the program without any success. Has anyone got any suggestion as to what I might do next to capture my clips via PE7?

Sorry about the confusion I caused but your answers clarified my mistake. I incorrectly used DVD instead of DV settings. Of course with DV Setting it is working!!
Thanks you all for your responses.
Kind regards

Bad Superdrive. You're under warranty, so if you're near an AppleStore, just bring it in for repair, otherwise call Applecare and they will repair via Fed-Ex

My iMac won't recognise new DVD's

Post install of latest Lion updates (10.7.3(11D50), both my iMacs will no longer recognise new DVD's or CD's but will read previously recorded disks - Can anyone advise what I should do here?

Same deal.
iMac 3.06 27, 16 GB RAM, Mavericks 10.9.4, DVD version 5.8.0
I tried multiple pre-recorded (i.e., "bought as new, in-store or online, from OEM") DVDs, including Star Trek: TNG from any season, several movies from different companies/production years/studios. All are cycled for about 10-30 seconds and then ejected. All discs are pristine, and I carefully checked them with an air duster before inserting them in the slot. Ok, this is starting to sound pornographic. Queue the cheesy music...
Note that music CDs are accepted and read by the same machine/setup.
I have to say, I'm really noticing a serious downturn in customer service response and overall product quality ever since Steve is gone, not that I strongly believe that to be the reason. It's just hard to ignore the correlation even if it doesn't mean causation.

Audition 3 won't recognise CD/DVD player to rip tracks

Although every thing works properly, Audition will not recognise the CD/DVD player using EXTRACT AUDIO FROM CD
The DVD player shows in drop down list of DEVICE INTERFACE OPTIONS (but not as a default) but when selected it cannot see tracks on the CD.
All Device Interface options are greyed out including ASPI/SPTI options
When using the Open file on a CD technique it brings in 10 samples only and the screen dims.????????

I wish someone would tell you how to fix this as I have had the same problem

Not recognising blank dvds

Hi,
my iMac won't recognise blank dvds at all, it recognises blank cds and my Macbook recognises the same dvds. I'm sure I used it to burn dvds from the same pack before.

Welcome to Apple discussions.
There have been discussions on this board before that indicate that some have experienced there DVD lens gets dirty or stops functioning.

Mine never stopped working, but I replaced it for speed purposes with a 16x drive for a reasonable price.

Adobe Elements 12 won't recognise my camera, Panasonic HDC SD 800.

I've recently downloaded Adobe Elements 12 because iMovie won't recognise my Panasonic HD video camera. I installed the Elements software because I wanted to do some video editing to a couple of recordings that I did the other day. I connected my camera via USB link to my MacBook Pro, (I downloaded the Mac version of Elements), and it still won't recognise the camera, even though it is a very expensive top of the range product. The model name of the video camera is Panasonic HDC-SD-800, and my biggest fear now is that it's the Macbook itself that won't recognise the camera, and I've just probably wasted a lot of money for the software. Can anyone help?

This is an AVCHD camcorder and, if you have it properly configured for your OSX to recognize, Premiere Elements will also interface with it using Add Media/From Flip or Camera (which opens the Video Importer).
Have you opened the Video Importer?
Is your camcorder turned on and set to VTR and is it configured to interface with your computer? (If so, it should show up as a device in Finder. Does it?)

Hp compaq elite won't recognise blank CDs & DVDs

I have an HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor PC. It won't recognise when a blank CD or DVD is inserted into the drive. The green light comes on briefly, then there's a whirling sound but the light goes out. I can't burn CDs or DVDs. It recognises CDs & DVDs with material on them. I'm stuck. Any ideas?

Hi:
First right click on the drive in My Computer and select properties. Make sure there is a recording tab and that recording is enabled.
If it is...
You can try performing each of the resolution steps, 2, 3, 4 and 5 at the link below.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
If that does nothing, well, either there is a major problem with the operating system that would require you to back up all data you don't want to lose and do a system recovery and...
If that doesn't fix the problem, then the drive has malfunctioned and needs to be replaced.

Statellite M100 won't recognise any USB storage devices or SD card

I've been having problems with my Toshiba M100 Satellite series notebook not reading Sandisk SD card from my son's camera - it's a 2GB card and from what i've read online maybe that's the problem BUT the notebook is also not reading any of my USB 'stick' devices. When i insert the SD card or a USB 'stick' it asks me to instal driver software which is just stupid. I've tried connecting the camera via a usb cable too and it won't recognise the device and, again, asks for device driver software.
I've looked on the toshiba website and have installed all updates that i thought might be appropriate, i'm also in the process of running Windows update (do this at least every 2nd week anyway so it shouldn't be a problem). I'm running Vista Home Edition (32bit). The USB ports have definately worked in the past, I really don't want to resort to running recovery discs if i don't have too as i don't want to lose all the stuff i have stored.
The SD Card/USB issue seems to be a common one but i can't find a specific fix on this or any other tech site, any suggestions?
Cheers

In your case I would do two things.
First: Check if a new BIOS is available. Look on the Toshiba website and make an update.
Second: Reinstall the laptop with the recovery disks. I know that you will lose all data, but you can save it on DVDs or external HDD.

HT5149 Final Cut Pro x won't recognise any of my external hard drives

Hi, I am sorry to start a new thread on this topic as I am aware there are already numerous threads. I have been searching through them for a solution to my problem and nothing appears to be working.
As stated in the title, Final cut X won't recognise any of my external hard drives. When I open Final cut x all I see is an "Untitled" event in the library and not even a mention of my internal drive.
I have checked that all my hard drives are formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) which I can confirm they all are. I have a spare hard drive which currently has no content on it and I have just reformatted it using disk utility to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This hard drive is not showing up in the library either. I mention this as some of the suggested solutions appear to be that an external hard drive not showing up might be because of folders within the hard drive labeled something such as "Video" "Audio" or "DCIM," as this may cause Final cut x to see it as a camera device and not a hard drive. This hard drive has absolutely nothing on it and has been reformatted just 10 minutes ago, yet it still does not show up in my final cut x library. The weird thing is... all the hard drives show up in Motion 5.
I am really stuck and I don't know what to do. I am currently in the process of re-installing final cut x to see if that will change anything. I will post what happens as soon as it has been reinstalled. I can provide screenshots as soon as it has been reinstalled.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Has anyone had the same problem and found out what I must be doing wrong? I would greatly appreciate any comments or feedback which might provide some insight into what I am doing wrong. I feel like this must be an error on my part as I am not that adept at using final cut x.
Thanks,
Chris

I am using the latest version. Currently re-installing final cut x which will bring me up to date.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. That makes a lot of sense.
However I still can't understand something... I only have 100gb free on my internal drive and I want to optimize a large amount of footage for my video projects. How do I save my projects to this hard drive if it is not showing up in my library?
I appreciate I am probably being very stupid and am very grateful of any insight!
Thanks,
Chris

My iMac won't recognise blank cd-r's.

My Imac, mid 2007, processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo won't recognise black cd's. It will recognise normal cd-r's and dvd's but not blank cd-r's. The cd drive makes a whiring sound like it's trying to accept the cd-r, then after 5-6 seconds, to ejects it again.

Won't recognise sim

Recently my Iphone 3GS came up with the message to connect to ITunes. So that afternoon I connected it and it said that there had been an error and that it needed a system restore. So I did the restore but now when trying to configure the phone it won't recognise the sim card. This sim still works in other phones and is obviously an error with the Iphone. I can't do the restore again as when I go to Itunes it says there is no sim installed so I cant do anything at all.
Any help would be muchly appreciated!

it may be a faulty sim does another sim work in it? this way we can narrow things down.
ensure the sim is in the right way and inserterd correctly
if another sim works in the phone its you sim if another sim does not work its the phone thats faulty
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Mac won't recognise camcorder

My mac won't recognise my sony DCR-PC5E. It works fine on Windows, and my mac recognises other Sony DV's using the same firewire. Any ideas? I don't want to have to buy a new camcorder....

Martin,
Welcome to the discussions.
Assuming you're using FireWire (what sony calls iLink) your camera should work.
Have a look through some of the tips in this thread:

If you hit the delete key you will be asked to confirm you want to delete the photo(s) from the catalog.
To delete an item right-click (or hold two fingers on the track pad) on the green album icon under the thumbnail and choose remove from album.
You can also select a batch of thumbnails in an album and click on a green icon to remove them all from the album.
If you cant see the green album icons, move the zoom slider slightly to the right to make the thumbnails bigger.
Try again from the Organizer with your 600D. After launching the Organizer app press Cmd+G for the downloader. Connect your camera and try refresh from the top pull down menu or try browsing for your device.
If it is still not working copy your files from the storage card to a folder in Pictures. Then use the menu:
File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
