How to connect an analog camcorder Qosmio F10?

I'm trying to connect an analog camcorder so that I can finally save my old movies on DVD.
I have connected my camcorder by S video cords lit and play and have used the S video in connection on the back of my laptop. The connections are not made with anything running.

I used then the program following Windows Movie Maker and tried to select capture video device, BUT I get this message.

The video device is currently in use. Close any other application using this device and try again.
When I click OK I then get another message that says:

The video device cannot be used at this time because there was an error during the startup of the device.

I do something wrong, but it drives me crazy.

Help, please.

Thank you

I have the same problem... and no solution! It could be done for digital input only. It would not make sense since there is a TV tuner, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I tested with a digital input, and everything works fine...

    I'm trying to connect my analog VCR / my laptop to save some old tapes.

    Follow the instructions exactly as detailed in the user guide, but I can't get a picture. Used both Svideo composite without joy!

    Hi Anthony,.

    I spent a futile a few hours by train to do it with my Satellite A30 until I have realized that the adapter SCART I was using was a single input device, so I wasn't getting any signal from the VCR to my laptop. I changed the adapter SCART to a version switchable and made sure that it passed to the "output" mode and it worked very well.

    I never managed to get a picture of S-video in color, black and white only. I gave up in the end and returned to composite connections that worked perfectly.

  • How to replace batteries internal clock Qosmio F10

    Hello. y at - it a simple way to replace/renew internal battery backup on a F10.
    Have had all the screws to separate, but there must be something to separate high/middle/low, any other time that the right things are falling apart.

    Have I missed a special tool... ?

    You ask him simply way?

    There is simply no way to renew the CMOS battery. There is only one way to replace this battery and unfortunately it's not easy for a common user with no technical experience.
    Need to disassemble the whole laptop to get access to the motherboard where the battery!
    As already said that it is not easy.

    I found an instruction how to open the Qosmio F15:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba_Qosmio_F15/open_laptop_case_1.htm

    But note; It s really not advisable for a portable common user!
    Maybe can damage other parts of the laptop during the disassembly procedure.

    So in my opinion, you should contact the laptop computer technician for help.

    You can only open the laptop at your peril! And don t forget that such action would nullify the warranty (if still available)

  • How to connect a satellite with Qosmio G30-188 receiver?

    Hello!

    How can I connect a satellite receiver to my Qosmio g30-188? I need to connect the AV signal (SCART) on the receiver to the laptop.
    can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I didn't test it with cable SCART, but I presume that you need adapter SCART to connect to your satellite receiver. Here is the image what it looks like.

    On this map, you can connect S-video cable to transfer the picture to your Qosmio. You will find on the right side for laptop S-video PORT. For sound, you can use the audio cable (red/white) with proper adapter

    As I said I n t test it until now. In any case please check manuals s user document. Maybe, you can find some useful information.

  • How to connect satellite decoder for Qosmio G50 using cable RCA video in

    I want to connect my satellite receiver to my laptop Qosmio G50 using the video RCA cable I got with the computer. (yellow, red, white RCA and one Jack)

    Could you help me where should I plug this cable that I have not found all the instructions in the user manual. (User manual list this cable on page 21, so it can be used for something somehow for sure!)

    (The decoder doesn't have a coaxial output, and I don't want to put another machine (eg. an old VCR) just to use a coaxial connection.)

    Any help gratefully received.

    Hello!

    What device you want to connect to your laptop?

    Normally you can connect to the camera via a USB or Firewire cable, and it comes with the camera. Maybe you need to install additional software for the camera, but it also comes with the camera.

    Check the manual of your camera. Need you all the information you need.

    Hello

    I created the DVD Qosmio G20 and this unit is probably more simple as on your F20. In any case if you carefully read the user for F20 manuals described therein:

    Video - in Port
    The port is used differently depending on the OS used in the computer.

    Windows XP Home Edition model: with the VIDEO-IN cable bundle, peripheral external such as TV, VCR, etc., can be connected to the computer and with WinDVR and WinDVD Creator Platinum 2 can be used to modify or view the entries.

    Media Center Edition model: with the cable to VIDEO IN cable or satellite set-top boxes can be connected to the computer to watch channels. Video not CAN NOT be retrieved for editing as in the model of Windows XP Home Edition.

    Now the question: which OS comes with your F20?

  • Qosmio F10: How to record audio and video and use QosmioPlayer

    I am owner of a Qosmio F10-122 with TV tuner and I really need HELP. I'm Italian.

    The questions are:
    1 QosmioPlayer version 4.0.1 (2005022812) (according to the procedure of the forum) has installed fine but the sensitivity is poor; in any case the question is: is is possible to record videos? Also is it possible to record audio?

    2 input and video output are stupid; I can see Windows and QosmioTV on HDTV via DVI/SCART but I can't input in MCE TV or QosmioPlayer any signal IN Composite; so the question is once again how can record AUDIO from my Home stereo or VCR VHS VIDEO?

    3. I only use VIDEO IN to WATCH is not to save: where is my fault?

    Thanks, Marco

    Hello Marco

    I did some testing and I can tell you about my experience on Qosmio G20.

    1. as far as I know early versions of Qosmioplayer did not have the registration option but now I hope that your preinstalled version has REC option. If so, please be sure that you have about 5 GB of free space for the recorded material.

    It is not important what signal is sent to your Qosmio (TV or VCR VHS-connected) you can find it if you look at the channels. With REC option, you can save what you want. I tested it with my VCR VHS and I recorded some old movies. This material was recorder und great quality was the same as on cassettes. After recording, I started Windows MCE and transferred the material recorded in Windows using Qosmio player utility.

    I have not tried, but I put t think you will be able to record audio using only Qosmioplayer.
    2. you can record movies VHS if you connect your VCR VHS on the Qosmio using the antenna cable. Launch Media center Edition (TV option) and scan channels. In my case, I could watch movies VHS on MCE on channel 31. Using REC option you can save all documents of video cassettes. Later, you can change the recorded material and create own DVDs. It really isn't a problem.

    Your audio Home Audio recording can be a bit more problematic, and if you want it to be on the professional path you will need a device external and of course some professional recording software.
    3. I don't know what to write here. Just try to do what I already descriebed under 1 and 2.

  • Qosmio F10 and TV connection via SCART?

    I try to display on television. using the output S-video of my Qosmio F10 I have no problem. However my TV S-video entry is at the front behind the door of some panels, so it is much more convenient to use one of the inputs SCART on the back of my TV.

    I've never had problems with one of these entries SCART (it worked perfectly with VCRs, DVDplayers), but now everything I try I can't get it to work with the cable SCART provided with the Qosmio.

    How is it? is there a way I can test it there is a signal on the output in the cable SCART on my Qosmio?

    Hello

    If you want to send the signal to the TV using the SCART, you can use adapter SCART (In/Out). Google a bit and I'm sure you can find the best solution.

    You can also get the best information in some electronics stores. There you can get appropriate technical advice.

  • Qosmio F10: Forgotten my password Windows XP - how to reset?

    Hi all

    I haven't used my Qosmio F10 in addition to four months and the last time that I used it I had to change the password, but now I foolishly do not remember it.

    My account is the only account on the laptop, so I am also administrator. Is it possible that I can find out or reset the password?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Cannot delete the administrator account on Windows XP. You need to reinstall new OS to get access to the new created admin account.
    Simply start the installation from the Toshiba Recovery CD and the new operating system must be installed in a few minutes.

    But note; the new installation format the whole HARD drive so if you have important files on the HARD drive you back up data.

    In this case, you could remove the laptop HARD drive and it could connect to another computer via the external USB HDD controller to transfer the files to the second computer HARD drive.

    See you soon
