Earlier I made a post about a video blog – a blog which has infact been started as to the point that some footage has been recorded. There are also a number of other video projects that have been recorded. But thanks to the joys of Windows, none of these have actually got off the ground. Why?
Well basically, I came to plug my capture card in and it comes up with "this device cannot start (code 10)" I have emptied Google and several other search engines, flicked through solution after solution, run through all the help wizards and even posted the problem on Experts Exchange to no avail. So at the moment I have loads of video footage and I can’t even upload it.
Yep it sucks and also leads me onto a deeper issue. Camcorder
technology sucks! I have to record it onto a tape that looks like a
casette tape, then rewind it to the place, plug it into my computer,
get the connection working, then play the video in real time to upload
it. That is really old technology in pretty much anyones book.
As Dana correctly pointed out on Web Talk Radio, the footage should be
just there available on the computer as soon as the camera gets moved
anyway near the computer via wireless technology. But at the very least
surely it should be like DVD or something rather than working on what
is basically a higher quality version of an analogue system.
And this still leaves me with the issue that I can’t upload video thanks to my IEEE PCMCIA card not working!
