Video Editor - No video support in Vist

Dear all,?What does this mean in "Windows Vista Driver Available Chart" ??Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor ***? 32-bit Driver Available?????????64-bit Driver Available?*** No video capture support?Is meant that only in THIS driver version the video support is not possible, or does it mean the support will NEVER be possible ?Thank You all,?Klaus?

From another user:
I have used the follwoing procedure to install a working configuration of the Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor in a clean install of Vista Ultimate.
() Download from Creative Labs (US) site: http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ the following files:
(a) Creative Sound Blaster USB Series Windows Vista Driver .00.0060 - USBVS_PCDRV_LB__00_0060.exe (from the Vista section)
(b) VidCap for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor .00.000 - A2VX_PCVDE_L9__00_000.exe (from the WinXP section)
(2) Use WinZip or WinRAR to open the file (b) and extract the folders \DrvInst and \Vidcap into your Vista Downloads folder.
(3) Connect the Video Editor to the power supply and a video source; connect the USB cable to your PC. Ignore the "Found NEw Hardware" dialog that pops up.
(4) Doubleclick on file (a) to install the Creative Sound Blaster USB Series Windows Vista Driver, and follow prompts as required; accept all defaults. After install is complete, let the PC reboot.
(5) After rebooting, in the "Found New Hardware" dialog that appears, select the options to search for a driver, don't go online to search, browse for a driver and point the search at the \DrvInst folder you extracted in (2) above. The USB video driver will be installed from the \DrvInst\Video\Driver\Win2k.
(6) After the video driver is installed, doubleclick on the Setup.exe file in the \Vidcap folder you extracted in (2) above to install the Vidcap application.
(7) Setup the options in Vidcap, and run a test recording.

I want the video editor program for my Creative Vista Webcam

I have the model Creative Vista webcam N0225 - I lost the CD but found a link of how to download the camera without the CD reccently. I'm getting into making home videos-but-I dont know how to edit them with deleting parts adding music and fonts. I need the editor program for my webcam so I can start editing my videos. If anyone could help it would much be appriciated! Thanks.x

Unless you are using a beta, Release Candidate, a 'N' version or Home Basic, I can only point you in the direction of Windows Movie Maker. That should do you for now. If you are using one of the versions I mentioned above, then you're stuck for now. Creative have yet to announce if and when any updates will arri've for camera products.

Excellent!
Why has that solved it though?
I've read on other forums (head-fi) that the audigy cards do not run at 44.kHz nati'vely so the sound has to be downsampled.
Is that skipping an artefact of that downsampling process?
Will having that set at 48kHz, but recording to a 44.kHz 6bit wav file theoretically reduce the quality of the recording - compared to having it set at 44.kHz and recording a wav at 44.kHz?
On the SPDIF tab the input sample rate is shown as 44.kHz - as that's what is output by the DAC in my minidisc deck.
But when I changed the sampling rate on the PCI/USB tab, the SPDIF output sampling rate also changed to 48kHz.
This means if I wanted to record from the optical output, whilst also recording to the computer, and that device only supported 44.kHz - I can't do that?
You listed some main reasons to the truth, why Creative SB cards are not very popular on serious use (DAW). I.e. need for resampling. X-Fi's in creation mode are (least said to be) the only ones not resample everything.
There is a setting for "Bit-Accurate-Recording" (digital modes only) --> have you tried if that works on your recordings?

Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor & Vista Business installation iss

So this is my letter to?Creative who have yet to respond, does anyone have a similar set up to me who can shed some light on this issue and fixing it. Having no sound and not being able to listen to itunes is not a good thing.
To Engineers,
Firstly id like to say I?m very disappointed in purchasing this $400 AUS SB Audigy 2 after looking on your website and seeing the Microsoft vista logo plastered everywhere thinking this device would be compatible, quite clearly it is not as I have installed/uninstalled drivers and disks..only to find that it is pointless..
So here I am about to explain my situation in order for you guys to find me a suitable driver ASAP.
I currently have a HP M777A running on Microsoft Vista Business with 3.06GHz and 2x GB Kingston Memory..
In my office I have a 5. speaker surround which sits with my 9?LCD which I like to listen to music from and watch DVD?s.
In my lounge room I have a 42? LG Plasma Display which also runs with my Denon AV4306 Recei'ver which also have a 5x speakers surround.
Prior to Vista, I was able to watch DVD?s or listen to music through iTunes which was being powered through my PC, I was able to do this simultaneously in both rooms. This is what I need to achieve again very soon.
After scouring dozens of websites and reading this products pitch lines which states that this virtually anything can be played through it, well this is why I bought it.. But I?m very disappointed.
My question to you guys is this.
. Is there a driver or something I can load up to fix my problem
2. ?If NOT, then how long will it take to be released.
3. ?If so, how do I find out about it when it is released.
4. Etc etc.
Please advise ASAP with a solution I can work with.

Vista Drivers for the Audigy 2ZS Video Editor

OK, so I know I'm only one of 20 people in the world who were ever stupid enough to buy one; but I am disappointed to see that there is so far no Vista beta driver support for the device.
Are there plans to ever support it under Vista?
As half of the internals are an Audigy 2ZS sound card for which Creative are developing Vista drivers, the job is surely half done? Modifying the existing USB video capture driver surely can't be too difficult?
Must say, that if this device is ignored under Vista, it will be the last Creative product I ever buy .....
Nigel

I wish someone from Creative would give a definiti've answer to this question.
I've had the Video Editor for about a year so it's hardly old technology, and Vista was in development last Summer. The Audigy ZS sound drivers are being developed for Vista, how diffcult can it be to get the Video drivers modified to run under Vista?

Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor - Issues/Updates Comi

I purchased my Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor in December with every intention that it was going to work with Vista. I was really upset when no driver was available at the Vista Launch, but finally a "Beta" driver was released which restored?some functionality. There are many issues however:
When the initial support plan for Vista was posted there was NO MENTION of no video capability being removed from the driver. Only recently this was added to the FAQ. I find this highly decepti've. This is advertised as a expensi've superior external video encoder - make it work as advertised!!!
<
There is currently no official support for hardware accellerated 5. audio and THX decoding. When will this be coming?
<
There is currently no support for connecting and disconnnecting headphones from the external box. Audio will switch to the headphones when connected, but when the headphones are removed you have to go manually into windows and change the settings back - a royal pain!!!
<
Digital Output and Inputs are not working.
<
Volume control adjustments, including muting on the external box is not working.
<
Remote control functions are not working to control media players.
<
You basicallly can get audio out and that's it. Come on Creative Creative... this is close to a $400 paperweight!

I would be glad for the opportunity to customize a Premiere Elements 12 answer to your Premiere Elements 12 issue.
But, I want to make sure that we are together on the details. This is my understanding of what you have written. Please review and let me
know if I am misinterpreting anything that you have written.
You have a video created in Windows Movie Maker.
How did you output the video from Windows Movie Maker...wmv or mp4, what was the frame size and frame rate of that export?
Next you import that video into Premiere Elements 12 (can we assume that this is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit?)
From what you wrote, you have applied a pan and zoom effect to your video in Premiere Elements.
Now you go to export the Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content with your video with the pan and zoom applied.
But, the pan and zoom effect is not seen in playback of the export.
Is all of the above correct so far?
If so....we are going to need some more details from you...
a. What is the project preset that you or the project are setting to match the properties of the video coming from Movie maker? See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
b. Are you applying the pan and zoom effect with the Pan and Zoom Tool, fx Effects Presets, or keyframing the Scale (for Zoom) and
Position (for Pan) in the Motion Panel expanded?
c. What are you selecting as your export in Publish+Share/. Please give details...are you using default settings or customizing the export
setting under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset selected?
I am suspecting some sort of mismatch of your project settings or some problems with working with the Pan and Zoom tool. I need
your answers to help me help you. If I have written anything that you do not understand, please let me know. I will re-write if necessary
so that we are in sync to resolve the issue.
Thanks.

Photo editor and video editor

Please suggest me a very good video editor and a photo editor (although inbuilt photo editing is there but still if there is any better) for my nokia 808 pureview white and from where i can download these and install in my mobile.
Thanking you,
Pbhowmik

your best bet apart from Google would be searching under photo or video or editor in Nokia Store on your device. As Symbian is now in maintenance mode, developer support and application support appears to be winding down, so what is found or not found, is unfortunately as good as you're going to get mate.

Photoshop elements 11 video editor troubleshooting

Trying to edit video taken from nikon D90. Video editor says that the file is not supported or is missing a "codec"
Any advice?

umaniak
Do you have Premiere Elements 11 as well as Photoshop Elements 11?
How are you importing your video into Premiere Elements 11 (assumed Windows)? Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets? Or are you moving it from the Elements Organizer into the Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace? Does the video play back OK on any of your computer players (Premiere Elements not involved)?
Bottom line may very well be a problem with the availability of the MotionJPEG video codec to Premiere Elements.
The 3 remedies that one frequently sees:
a. file conversion
b. download, install of MotionJPEG codec
c. grabbing appropriate codec from a camera utility if the camera has such a utility.
Please review and let us know if you have any further questions.
Thanks.

New Arch kernel won't launch OpenShot video editor [SOLVED]

I just re-installed Arch the other day and now OpenShot Video Editor won't startup.

OpenShot has failed to import some of the Python files or libraries

tips:
Tip 1) Check if MLT can be successfully imported in Python. Run the
following commands, and see if any errors are displayed. If you get
an error, you need to investigate the correct way to install MLT.
NOTE: Do not type the $ or >> characters in the examples below.
$ python
>> import mlt
>> mlt.Factory().init()
Tip 2) If MLT is working from the first example, then the next tip is
to look at the above error messages very closely, and google for more
help. It's likely the problem is already reported, and maybe there is
a simple work-around. Also, you can search for bugs or report a new
bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot. Good luck!

I downloaded the openshot tarball off their website (openshot.com) and checked/installed the list of dependencies that came with it in the README file, (this)
OpenShot Video Editor is programmed in Python, and thus does not need
to be compiled to run. However, be sure you have the following
dependencies in order to run OpenShot successfully:
1) Python 2.5+ (http://www.python.org)
2) GTK & pyGTK (http://www.pygtk.org)
3) GooCanvas & Python bindings (http://live.gnome.org/GooCanvas)
4) MLT Framework (http://www.mltframework.org)
5) Sox audio library
6) Frei0r video effect library
7) FFmpeg
Afterwards, I cd into the openshot directory, to run this command:
$ sudo python setup.py install
which triggers the setup.py file in it, but the shell gave me this error output
[wordstrings@DTR-Arch-Linux openshot-1.4.3]$ sudo python setup.py install
[sudo] password for wordstrings:
File "setup.py", line 23
print "Execution path: %s" % os.path.abspath(__file__)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Is there anyway I can alter line 23 in setup.py so the install command will work?

Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor - recording audio from optical digital in - sound drops

Hi guys
I've had an audigy 2 zs video editor for a couple of months now and it's greatly improved my audio output from my computer.
But the other day I started trying to record vinyl onto my computer directly.
In the past I've always used my hifi cd recorder deck, then ripped the audio off the cd.
So I have my turntable connected to my amp, and I use my minidisc deck as a DAC, then record using an optical from my minidisc DAC, to the optical input on the front of the audigy.
So I fire up the creative smart recorder software and start messing with the levels.
I also use a free bit of software from
http://www.darkwood.demon.co.uk/PC/meter.html
called meterV which gives me a larger and more prominent read out of the level.
I then fine tune the output level on my DAC.
I have the stereo line out sockets on my audigy connected to an input on my hifi amplifier for listening to digital music etc.
So I start the vinyl and the sound starts coming through my DAC into my soundcard, the level readings start going, and the sound comes out of my hifi speakers.
My amp's switched to the audigy input - not the turntable
The problem is... every 30 seconds or so, the sound cuts out for 2-3 seconds and then resumes.
But the sound doesn't drop off on the level meters, or on the actual recording (recording 44.khz, 6bit wav file).
Only on the stereo line out of the audigy.
I ran the following test to see if the sound also cut out on the optical and coax outputs...
Whilst recording from the optical input, I've also tried recording to a minidisc portable from the optical out at the same time.
And the sound cuts out the same as when listening to the stereo line outs.
So the sound cuts off on the line out, the optical out, and also the coax out.
But this only happens when recording from the optical input.
When recording from the stereo line in - the sound doesn't cut out on any output!!!
The input selected in creative smart recorder is SPDIF.
This problem happens when smart recorder isn't even running - if I'm just listening to the line outs the sound cuts out.
But if I'm just playing back an MP3 or any sound, and there's nothing coming into the inputs, then playback is fine!!
So it's not a connection issue!
It doesn't seem to be triggered by sound frequencies - it seems to happen every 30-40 seconds no matter what is being recorded (it does the same thing when playing a CD so it's not just when using a turntable)
I've tried restarting the computer several times.
All the connections are properly seated.
I've had task manager loaded whilst this is happening to check CPU usage, and nothing - it just continues in a fairly straight line as normal. No spikes in CPU usage (I would have thought it unlikely that the video editor would be affected by such things anyway being an external box).
There is nothing else connected to USB - other than an internal memory card reader attached to a motherboard USB header.
And a wireless adaptor also connected to the motherboard - but the problem still happens when the wireless adaptor is disabled.
There's also nothing else connected to the USB ports on the Video Editor box.
Machine spec:
Shuttle SN4G2-v3
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
GB memory
80GB IDE HDD, 2 x external Lacie FireWire 250GB dri'ves
LG dual layer dvd/rw/ram
Win XP Pro SP2
I've not upgraded firmware or drivers - just used the installation from the CD.
What confuses me is why this only happens when recording from the optical input, and it affects all outputs but the recording and the level monitor show no trace of the temporary loss in sound!
So the audigy is receiving the sound, but it just drops off the outputs for some reason!
Any ideas?
I hope the above explanation is clear.
Thanks
Ben
