No valid capture device could be found

[Samson]

I've tried another capture software but it has fallen short in one important area so I though I would give Debut a chance.

However, when I try to connect to my VCR I get the error message No valid capture device could be found. Now, this is a bit puzzling as I can switch to the other software and connect without problem.

I wouldn't mind paying for Debut but of course I need to know that it works with my system first.

By the way, both the screen and web camera capture seems to work. Haven't actually tried to capture anything with them yet but the connection is there at least.

I have the same problem.  Sill Debut support the Dazzle DVC80 analog to USB capture device?

And now I have tried with Windows Movie Maker. Same thing there.

Can it be that Power Director's device driver blocks other drivers?

First I recommend you to check different capture options for example some video capture devices are detected as a Webcam. You will be able to see it under Webcam menu. 

so please verify that option. 

 

if the issue persist I recommend you to open a support ticket: http://www.nch.com.au/support/supportcontact.html

Not sure that I understand you correctly. If I click on webcam, the leftmost menu choice, it will activate the webcam, that's it. Where do you mean I can check if it is erroneously  detected?

There's a menu, Tools----> option... that gives you settings for web camera, capture device, network camera and screen capture.

In web camera settings there's a drop down list, the default choice is USB camera but it also lists a USB 2828x device which I believe is the VHS capture I'm using.

However, choosing the capture device all settings are grayed out.

Strangely enough, your advice worked Tsam. My easy cap usb device was under integrated camera. Works fine. Thank you

Where do you find the integrated camera option?

I had the same issue. My Dazzle DVC100 did not show up as a device. But after reading this post I found the device under the webcam and Debut records just fine.  However I have no sound.  How do I get sound?

thanks,

Spence

Does your computer have a webcam? Mine has, an integrated one, as it's a laptop. Wonder if that stops Debut from showing up?

I have the same issue of Debut not recognizing device. My system recognizes it on other software. I have Pro copy, vs. 6 and am using Dazzle DVC100 device.

Since this is a purchase, not a free version, I'll be most appreciative for any help. THANKS!
