Windows Movie Maker - unable to capture from sony handycam

I am using Sony Handycam DCR-HC2 camcoder and my laptop is sony vaio vgn-nr160e. Before upgrading to windows 7, I was able to capture home made movie with Click to DVD program via i-link cable with vista home.
From the time I update to Windows 7, I am unable to capture home movies. Presently I am using windows movie maker 2.6. When I connect my handycam to laptop with i-link, it won't reconize.
Please some one guide me, we are planning a 2 week vacation and I am going crazy with this issued ( I am an avg tech guy, not a expt)

I have
Windows 7 RC
Sony handycam DCR-TRV19
Sony iLink cable
Full Windows Live package installed
and have had similar results.
With the Sony cable (verses a 4 pin to 4 pin cable) I do get DV IN on the camera when I connect.
But in device manager it does not show up under IEEE or as an Image Device :-(
That's as far as I have gotten. Hoping someone can find the little nugget to get this going.
Hi
Here are a couple of links that may help.
Sony eSupport - Digital Camcorders
Sony eSupport - DCR-TRV19 - Support
Hope this helps.
Thank You for testing Windows 7

Unable to capture from Sony HDFX1 camera

Built a new PC and utilized a top end ATI Radeon dual video card. Running Vista Ultra OS(hmmmm), plenty ram, processor, etc.
PC does not see my camera when I plug in for capture. Do I need a special codec or 1394 HD drivers available for HD capture from ATI or from Adobe perhaps?
Frustrated

If the Vista install was a standard installation, Vista should recognize the camera automatically and install the correct drivers. Nothing you need to do. Make sure that you connect the firewire cable first between the camera and the on-board firewire connector. Do not try to connect it to the ATI card. Once the cable is connected, turn on the power on the camera and set it to VCR. Vista will then install the necessary drivers automatically and if they have been installed previously, show the autoplay box. Make sure that the menu in the camera is correctly setup to use the iLink connection and the format you shot in, so either DV or HDV. Consult the Sony manual for that. If the does not work, try a different cable first.

I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes in my video using Windows Movie Maker. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

I am trying to use songs I purchased from iTunes, from my library if you will, in my video (slideshow) using Windows Movie Maker.
Does anyone know if that is possible to do? If so, would you please tell me how to do that?

Hello, a1p2r3.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple options available to you to transfer purchased media to your computer. Below, I have included a couple articles that outline this process.

Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod to the iTunes library.

Transfer of Video from Windows Movie Maker to PE7

Hi,
I put together my first video using Windows Movie Maker, and the audio tracks are wma files. I just got Premiere Elements 7 and want to transfer the video to it from Movie Maker, but I understand that in PE7 audio files should be either mp3 or wav.
Is there a way to make the transfer so that I'll be able to burn the video to DVD after getting it into PE7?
Thanks!

Why not export from Windows MovieMaker as DV-AVI.... (See this FAQ on exportinmg from WMM as DV-AVI http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0) then bring this into PE7. Note sometimes you can have audio issues with the type 1 DV-AVI that WMM produces. In this case use the free DVDate (http://paul.glagla.free.fr/dvdate_en.htm) to convert the type 1 to type 2... it is very fast and lossless.

Burning Videos from iPhone/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker?????

How can I burn videos that I take on my 3GS iPhone and than sync to my PC/iTunes with Windows Movie Maker? When I attempt to load or drag the video file into movie maker it give me an error message due to the file type is not supported. Any suggestions or points in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

This is because iTunes Store purchases and in a protected file format, so you won't be able to directly convert them from the protected file into something that Windows movie maker could read.
As the previous poster said, you can try burning the files to a CD, then importing the CD again. I think that ought to work.

HOW TO CAPTURE DIGITAL VIDEO CLIPS, OPTIONALY WITH WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER

I want to capture video clips and save them on disk, when a certain event occurs.If possible I prefer to do it with labview only. Optionaly to execute a record command on windows movie maker, save with arbitrary file name, and go back to standby mode for the next clip.

Do you have a camera along with the IMAQ hardware? Then, the easiest way is probably using the IMAQ VIs to acquire frames and create avi files out of them. There is some example code on how to grab images using the imaq hardware.

Generating the avi files is fairly straightforward once you know how to acquire images. Lookup the help on the "IMAQ AVI" VIs.
If you have a camera hooked up through USB, you can try the documentation on the following link. I have never used labview with usb cameras though.

M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker

Hi,
My M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
I have also had problems burning CDs (unbranded) from Windows XP, built in utility.
Does the multidrive have problems, with cheaper brand disks?
Just to note,
The laptop has been back to the support guys three times so far with various issues.
(1) The hard drive failed.
(2) The multidrive failed.
(3) The motherboard got replaced, because of power failures, it wouldnt charge the battery or recognise that the power adapter was plugged in.
Note: The harddisk, not the exhaust fan makes the most noise in mine!
Thanks

Hi
As far as I know the preinstalled burning software (i.e. record now, drag ndrop) disabled the Windows XP burning option. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you should to enable this possibility.
Please go to driver properties (right click). Please select the Recording tab. The option Enable CD recording on this drive should be marked.
I use the Nero burning software and in my opinion its a one of the best burning programs. Furthermore you should try different CD/DVD manufacturers because some CDs and DVDs are not compatible with some drives. Check the TDK CDs and DVDs. I never had any problems with these medias.
Best regards

Can Encore 2.0 import file from Windows Movie Maker?

I have just purchased and installed Encore 2.0, so I am a true novice. I have a few movies I created using Windows Movie Maker and wanted to import them into Encore 2.0; however, when I try to do so I get a message telling me that "the software used to decode is not available on this system." Is there away for me to fix this problem, or is Encore not capable of importing these files?
Thanks for any help!!!

Actually, Encore does support WMV files. I just imported an AVI into Movie Maker and exported it as a WMV file at the default settings and it imported fine into Encore.
Apparently there's something about the WMV files in question that Encore doesn't like, however. From the error message I'd suspect that the codec used to export the file is missing. Is the system you're running Encore on the same system you used to export from Movie Maker? If not, you might want to try loading your Movie Maker project files onto the same system and re-exporting them. Also double-check that the settings for the exported movie correspond to a legal video format (although you'd probably get a different error message if that was the cause).

Import songs from iTunes into Windows Movie Maker

I have found it difficult to use my songs in any other application. I'm creating videos using Windows Movie Maker (Vista) and when I go to import the songs aren't showing up in the iTunes Music folder. I also downloaded the files into an external drive. When I opened the external drive separate the songs were there. When I was in Windows Movie Maker and went to import the files weren't there. Any suggestions on how to use songs from iTunes. I feel as though I've purchased them and can't use them anywhere else other than on my iPod and computer.

If they are protected files, that's correct. You can only use them on iPods, authorized computers and Apple TVs.

im trying to import The Prestige trailer into Windows Movie Maker so that i can have it set into the whole program. is it possible to import a trailer from iTunes into another program? i tried to make it able to open with movie maker, but it still isn't working.

WMP does not fully support MPEG, you'll have to convert it to a format supported by this program.

Can I transfer/copy songs from itunes to Windows Movie Maker?

I am designing a slide show for my daughter's wedding. If I buy songs through itunes, can I copy/move them to Windows Movie Maker for the slide show.
I appreciate your input/guidance.

With the iPod connected to your PC and selected on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your PC then you can enable the sidbar via control-S), you should be able to use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your music to sync to it e.g. which albums, artists, playlists etc : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351

I Cannot sign in to my Microsoft account from within Windows Movie Maker

I have recently installed Windows Movie Maker (Version 2012) and when I open it, it gives me a chance to sign in to my Microsoft account. I use the correct email address and password combination (I know they are correct because I tested them on other
Microsoft services) and it returns an error of "incorrect email or password." I do not understand why this is happening and I need to be able to sign in to Microsoft to utilize certain functions of Movie Maker. Is there any way
to resolve this issue?

I'd probably ask them over here.
