Error: The video device is currently in use... trying to import video

original title: importing video

I'm trying to import video from my camcorder. I did this several times in the past with no problems. Now, I get the following message: the video device is currently in use. Close any other program that is using the device and try again.

I don't have any other programs open. I went to the Device Manager; Imaging devices; and my camcorder is listed and it says that the device is functioning properly. I tried to "import from digital video camera" using Windows Movie Maker and I still get the same message. I tried to disconnect the 1394 cable and turn on/off several times my camera. I still get the same message. I've never had this problem before. I have Windows Vista Home Premium.

I had the same problem since I started recording on 10 July
I have DELL Studio 64-bit pc
Sony DCR TRV350 so I use I394 cable 4 pin-to-6-pin firewire
While your DVR camera is connected to the PC via firewire, search Windows Update and install the patches to recommend.
If you have Windows encode uninstall it
reset
It worked for me
It may be useful
I checked with sony for help. They could not help, but it gave me a clue

    Hi dear friends
    I came across a picturesque problem, someone at - it also have problems? : D

    Hello

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forum.

    The error "the specified device name is invalid" is displayed if you try to name a folder with a name that represents a limit of MS-DOS device name.

    The MS-DOS device driver names cannot be used as file names in Windows. As a result, we cannot name as records con, zero, etc.

    Microsoft MS-DOS booked these names for these system device drivers.

    • CON: Keyboard and display
    • PRN: System list device, usually a parallel port
    • To THE: auxiliary device, usually a serial port
    • CLOCK$: the system real-time clock
    • DRAW: Bit-Bucket device
    • A:-Z:: the drive letters
    • COM1: First communications port series
    • LPT1: First parallel printer port
    • LPT2: Second parallel printer port
    • LPT3: The third parallel printer port
    • COM2: Second communication port series
    • COM3: Third serial communications Port
    • COM4: Fourth serial communications Port

  • Office Express Error Msg: SENT file is currently being used by Outlook or by another application AND don't GET COMPACT. Help!

    Hello!
     
     
    I have both Outlook 2003 and Outlook Express 2003 loaded on my computer
    Only, I use Outlook Express and have not used regularly Outlook in 5 years.
    I have no problems using Express, (both in the sending or receiving of emails).
    There is no "snap-emails" sent or received in Outlook regular and none in the Outbox.  The same with the Express.
     
    About every month, compresses files Outlook Express and in doing so, the folder sent items do not get compressed, it does not create a new file SentItems.bak and it gives me the error: has SENT the file is currently being used by Outlook or by another application. 
     
    All the time this problem started, I received a number of updates to Office 2003 from Microsoft (probably updates 20-25).  They have installed without incident and that's the only problem resulting, I had with one of the components of Office.
     
    Thanks again for your help.  I'm looking forward to this problem so that it works correctly.
     
    John Murphy

    The sent items folder may have a corruption.  Create a new folder and copy the text in the folder into the new folder.  Then close OE and delete the file sent items.dbx.  OE will create a new.  DBX files should not receive more than a few hundred megabytes or they get corrupted.

    A more effective solution: since you seem to have corruption, it may mean that there are more, if you can set up a new message store by clicking file | Identities.  Then you can add your accounts, use the file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.  Which will remove all corruption.

    Whatever it is, it's a good time to save your messages in OE, because it tends to remove them in unexpected ways.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6 also, if resumes default Outlook, he likes to do when he starts to date, just see www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx

    See if that helps.

  • The decoder error: the video decoder has either malfuntioned or is not installed...

    I had to reinstall my Win XP Media Center 2005 due to a trojan virus. I formatted and reinstalled. Everything works fine, but I can play is no longer ANY DVD. I get the message "titled" above! I installed and ran the Video Decoder Checkup Utility and it says I have NO MPEG-2 decoder installed! What the heck is with that? I have a bought and paid for a BONE with Media Center 2005, the only way I've seen to get the codecs I need, I have to pay for them?  It's crazy! I thought that I had already paid for them through the puchace of my PC! (Dell)  I have / do not watch TV using Media Center. I only watched DVD (when it worked) really just, I wish the new DVD game! ANY help on this would be appreciated.

    Very probably came with your Dell system Power DVD, the decoder is in this program.

    Reinstall Power DVD and Media Center works again.

    If you purchased a TV Tuner with your system, for example (Angel USB) reinstall the driver on the CD Drivers and Utilities provided with your system.

    If you do not have the drivers CD, you can get it from Dell downloads driver.

    You can also reinstall burning software provided with your system.

    If you miss any CD program or does not have the with your system will...

    Hello

    You can first check in BIOS advanced settings if the onboard sound is enabled.

    You can see the manual of the system manufacturer or contact the system manufacturer for more information on how to make the changes in the BIOS.

    Note: changes to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Audio is not working, Sound Device is currently being used by another Application

    Name of product: notebook PC HP ENVY m6

    Product number: D1E93UA #ABA

    I have uninstalled/re-installed the driver, rebooted and still no sound.  When I right click on speakers/HP and Test - the pop up says device in use.  There is no legitimate request by using the device.  I've been running Windows Defender because I used the official HP recovery discs I ordered.  I did not visit questionable sites, and yet, looks like I've got malware?

    How to run the troubleshooter?  My search for Windows 8 charm does not give me the in option.

    BigBuds:

    SuperMario1 (a HP Techy guru) in another thread on the claims to subject the audio problem was caused by Windows update KB2962407 and says that the uninstallation of the update (which is easy to do) will solve the problem and should bring audio for update.

    I followed these steps and my audio works perfectly since.

    So here's what you need to do: (note that you need to do step 2 to make sure that the automatic update windows is not reinstall the update of KB2962407:)

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Please note that the following troubleshooting is ONLY a workaround, for now.

    Uninstallation of the update of Windows, then hide it, is the only way to eliminate the question if she caused by this update. Here is the procedure to uninstall the update:

    Step 1:

    1. go in Control Panel, then click on "programs and features".

    2. click on "view installed updates". Look for the update with ID KB2962407.

    3. right click on the update and select "Uninstall". Restart the computer.

    Step 2: Then, here is the procedure in order to hide the update:

    1. go in Control Panel, then click on "Windows Updates".

    2. click on ' Check for Updates '. When the process is complete, is expected to find important updates available. By clicking on the message will open a window where is the important updates.

    3. right click on the KB2962407 update and select "Hide update". This will prevent the installation update next time that Windows updates are installed.
