Hi,
I am using NI-IMAQ for USB to grab videos from Dazzle DVC170 of Pinnacle. There is an error showing system error, see the attached file. Someone answered that it is because my USB device is not a directshow image one. In fact, Dazzle DVC 170 connects camcorders with computer. There is Svideo output connecting camcorder and a USB connecting computer. If in this case, VISA can be used to configure USB and grab video? Thanks.

Hi hxw,
If your camcorder has fire wire port,you can directly capture your video using labview USB toolkit what you are at present.Coming to your Dazzle DVC170 of pinnacle,you cant capture the videos using labview.If you still want to,may be you need to use some activex programming to connect to that pinnacle software program.
Thanks and regards,

Hi,
Thanks for your help. I am wondering what kind of activex program is. Is it a package in Labview or others? Could you give me some hints aobut this activex program to control this software?

Hi,
For firewire connection, there is no connection on my camcorder but S video output connection. I am wondering if we can buy a firewire card to transport video and use IMAQ for USB to control this firewire or other IMAQ module to control it. In fact, I went to Bestbuy to ask about this. But the sales person told me that the firewire card can only transport video but can not be controled. I am wondering the problem with firewire card is there is no driver for this so we can not control it. Is it right?
Thanks.
