Question

I connect my DV camera using the USB cable. When I capture video it has no sound (audio from the tape). I was doing the same thing before and it was ok.

How can i fix this?

Answer 1

You mentioned that you were previously successful in video capture via wmm using usb. But now there's no audio. There might be several causes, but try codecs...

Download codecs automatically=>  wmm/Tools/General/Options -> put a chk on download codecs auto        Specifies that wmmaker attempts to download codecs automatically when you choose to import a video or audio file where codec is not installed (or accidentally uninstalled). If appropriate codec is found @ Microsoft Web site,  codec is downloaded &installed silently w/o any user intervention.To install codecs manually, you must have the appropriate Administrator authority.

Answer 2

If you check the resolved answers you will see that you need to connect your camcorder with a firewire cable to the firewire port of your PC. USB does not work. Reread your camcorder manual or download one from the manufacturer support site of your camcorder. Good luck!!
