Webcam won't capture videos. HELP!

I don't know whats wrong, it was working fine.. and then today it just refuses to cooperate. Everytime I go to record a video it freezes the frame, and then when I click stop the video is blank with a tiny sound clip. Any ideas? I've already tried restarting my computer and reinstalling the software and drivers.. neither of which worked. I'm getting desperate.

To see if there is something deeper see if the video plays in Bridge.

  • Webcam Live! Capture Video Not Working

    I have Creative Webcam Live! Previously, I was able to use the capture function to take small video clips.
    I am no longer able to do so. When I attempt to Capture a video, the screen freezes but the time does start to count up as if a video is taking. When I stop the capture, a video clip box appears on the right hand side, but it's blank. When I attempt to play the blank box, the little indicator that scrolls across the bottom of a video when it plays moves about an inch and keeps looping. Please help. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software. Still doesn't work. Thank you.

    Hi,
    I'd suggest the following. First thing to do is to see if there is a live video being displayed in the webcam app. Assuming that there is then it would look like the camera is installed correctly.
    There may be another capture device interfering with caputre so what would be a good idea would be to clear out the C windows twain and windows twain 32 folder. Backup the contents first then delete. You'll have to reload the camera software afterwards
    Hope this helps

  • CS6 in Windows 8 won't capture video

    Capture in CS6 won’t record VHS after loading Windows 8. Computer used to work, only change was upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8. The anomaly is that using the same settings, the capture works using CS5.5. The capture was a VHS tape through a Canopus converter (ADVC 300). Done many times before, the only change was Windows 8 instead of Windows 7. Weird that it works under same Windows 8 and conditions for CS5.5 but not for CS6. This indicates something different about CS6.
    CS6 gives the message that the recorder in CS6 is not capturing any frames.
    Anyone having similar problems?

    For John's information, I tried a Legacy Driver. Made no difference. When trying to record in CS6, I could see the video, but when trying to record, message received that no frames recorded. Nothing would happen. Left everything the same, same hookup, closed CS6, opened CS5.5 and recording happened. My guess is that Windows 8 may have changed a file in CS6 that prevents recording. I haven't tried recording to tape yet.

  • Photoshop CS6 extended won't import videos, help please?

    Before I get to the meat and potatoes (details), I'd like to ask that you don't be an @$$ with your answers, please, if my friend is doing something wrong, don't just say "well, derp, you're doing something wrong", actually tell me what he's doing wrong so I can tell him and he can fix the issue. He'd post but he's having internet issues as of 10 minutes ago.
    My friend got Photoshop CS6 extended so he could do a few things with his photos, he also wanted to try out some of the stuff with the video editing, and since it's the extended version, it should (at least in theory) import video, right? Wrong, no matter what format he converts to he gets an error telling him he's using the right kind of document. I have seen the photoshop video editor, my friend has seen the video editor, but we can't get it on his copy of photoshop because he can't get a video to import no matter what format he converts to. Is there a way to fix this or has the promise of video editing in the extended version of photoshop just been a lie? I'm confused, please help.
    FORMATS TRIED:
    .3gp
    .3g2
    .avi
    .asf
    .DV
    .mkv
    .mpg (mpeg1 and mpeg2)
    .mp4
    .mov
    .mts
    .m2ts
    .ts
    webM format
    .wmv
    NONE OF THESE FORMATS WORK FOR VIDEO EDITING IN PHOTOSHOP CS6 EXTENDED. He can use it for photo but he really wants to try the video editor since he doesn't like movie maker and he can't afford any other video editing software right now.

    To see if there is something deeper see if the video plays in Bridge.

  • Webcam Won't Connect! HELP!

    Every program i try to use my webcam with just says to me that it is not connected. i cant find it in settings and nothing on the internet says anything. I need some help!

    •  If you have not already done so, restart Mac and try again.  Restarting may fix it.
    •  If the camera still does not work, verify that you do not have any login items that may be using your camera at every restart.
    •  If the camera still does not work, try all relevant suggestions from
         http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    If you need to "reset", be certain that you use the correct procedure for your particular MacBook Pro version.
    (Over time, Apple has changed the Macs' built-in cameras' names from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
    •  If the camera still does not work, you may have a
       hardware problem that will require a professional fix.
       Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
      Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
    "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
    • If you want to try one more thing on your own first,
      use Disk Utility to repair permissions.  Then
      download and apply the latest Combo Update for
      your OS.  Currently, the latest ML Combo is here:
        http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640
    Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart that completes the Combo update.
    Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera.  For hardware help, contact an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • XPS L502X integrated webcam won't start, error message "Close the other video streaming applications to start video"

    Hello, i've been working with this issue for more than a week now. Have tried all the solutions on the net without any success.
    Windows 7 home premium x64 is installed on the machine.
    When trying to use any application using camera shows up a message, that webcam is used by another application. This pops up on Skype and Dell Webcamcentral. Ms Silverlight shows black screen, no message. The device is present under imaging devices in device manager. The driver installed is Microsoft 6/21/2006 ver. 6.1.7601.18208, status "device is working properly". Driver files: ksthunk.sys, usbvideo.sys and ctclsflt.sys after installing webcam central.
    Here is what i tried:
    1. Installing drivers from Dell.com in the correct order
    2. Uninstalling webcam driver and letting windows install the driver from windows update.
    3. Uninstalling windows driver and installing Quanta webcam driver before restart. Note, that in all 3 steps quanta driver never showed up in driver details in device manager.
    4. Uninstalled skype.
    4.Uninstalled all "usb root" in device manager, restarted, windows installed it's drivers, installed Dell_SX2210-Monitor_Webcam SW RC1.1_ R230103.
    5. Uninstalled Webcamcentral, downloaded and installed ver 6.1 Skype.
    6. Started windows in a clean boot state.
    7. Installed process observer. Webcam is used only by skype, but skype gives "camera used by another app" error message.
    8. Turned off laptop, removed ac power and battery, pressed power on button for 30 secs.
    9. Tried to update driver through device manager - driver is up to date.
    10. Reinstalled windows and installed chipset drivers + wireless drivers and let the windows update. Then installed all Dells drivers in the correct order.
    11. Restored to the point before windows update and installed Dell drivers in the correct order.
    12. Restored to the point after windows update again. Installed ms Silverlight, camera shows black screen. Room is light, tried a sheet of white paper close to the camera.
    13. Tried different skype versions again, uninstalled skype.
    14. Process observer shows that nothing uses webcam. Supportassist shows failure in webcam at all checkup stages. Supportassist suggests to turn of programs that might be using camera.
    15. Tried all the steps before windows reinstall.
    16. I gave up and ask for your help.
    Here is Supportassist diagnostics log:

    Iqb,
    Make a system restore point.
    Start, control panel, device manager, Go to the USB Controller section and click the + sign. Go to each USB Root Hub. right click on it, left click uninstall.
    Restart your computer. When you login, the new hardware wizard will reinstall everything. Please be patient, it could take up to 2 minutes.
    Try the webcam and see if it works.
    If no, then the webcam became detached from the motherboard, usually near the webcam

  • Capturing video using usb webcam in QTPRO

    I have a duo core mac mini and QTPRO 7. I am preparing a lecture for teachers to record their demonstrations and lectures and then play them back to students. I am trying to use QTPRO and usb webcam to keep cost down for teachers. I have installed Maccam 8.8 and can recognize and choose usb camera in QTPro. I can even change compression and setting and capture video and audio. The problem comes when I stop the recording in QTPro. The newly created movie opens and then....the spinning ball of death starts to spin and never quits. I try to force quit QT (which isn't responding) but it won't quit. I have to shut down my mini and restart. At which point the movie created can be openned and played and everything is fine, until I try to capture another movie. It works but this is combersome. This is really inconsiderate of Mac, to make it so you can only use firewire cameras, of which I think only the isight is left. Used to be you could plug almost anything into a Mac and it worked. That was something that Made them great. Now well, lets limit the buyers. This problem also occurs on my MacBook Pro.
    duo core mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If you can afford it, use an iSight camera ( much better quality than most webcams, and AF as well) and Quicktime Broadcaster ( free) to record the video.
    If you search you will find a few articles on how to use QTB to record to your HDD. Very good quality in good light.

  • Unable to capture video from webcam in JMF in xlet

    hi
    I am unable to capture video from webcam in an Xlet. I am using Xletview to run Xlet. The method CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(vidformat) returns empty array. Which videoformat should I use and why do I get empty array?
    Thanks

    MHP and OCAP only use JMF 1.0, which does not include support for capturing video. You will not be able to do this in any current MHP/OCAP imlementation that I know of.

  • FCP runs on Intel Mac Mini, but won't capture to external drive, HELP!!

    Installed FCP 5.1 on Mac Mini Core Duo and it runs fine. It will capture fine too, but only to the main harddrive. If I plug in a firewire harddrive using a firewire hub it won't capture, and give a "No Video" error in the Log and Capture window. I've used both popwered and unpowered firewire hubs, and even tried daisy chaining the camcorder off the harddrive. Nothing has worked. And there is no space on the main harddrive to capture to.
    I know there is a lot of speculation about whether FCP would even run on a Mini, but it will. If only I could capture it would be a reat capturing station. Has anyone had success? Its pretty frustrating as I've used the Power PC Mac Mini for capturing in FCP 5.0 without any problems. Why would apple make the new Mini crapier?

    Never use FW hubs when capturing video. They only lead to grief.
    Some cameras, particularly Canons, refuse to share the FW bus with anything. Could this be your problem?
    If so, there is little I can think of to do with a Mini (or an iMac for that matter) beyond capturing from a different deck/camera that is more social than the Canons and their brethren. You only get the one FW bus.
    But first thing to try is to get rid of the hub. Hook your fw drive to the computer and your camera to the FW drive.

    I would recommend you post your topic in the Final Cut Pro forum. However, since the Intel-based Mac mini is not supported, it may simply not work.

    I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account.  Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.
