1. Re: matrox capture on desktop - no video on laptop
John T Smith Feb 21, 2012 1:27 PM (in response to Iamnotno6)Do those matrox codecs indicate these 2 things...
1-they will work without the matrox hardware
2-they will work with P-Elements and not just P-Pro
Without both being stated on the matrox download page, you may be out of luck

2. Re: matrox capture on desktop - no video on laptop
Steve Grisetti Feb 21, 2012 2:10 PM (in response to John T Smith)I'm with John. Those matrox codecs are probably not something Premiere Elements can work with.
What type of video source or camcorder are those videos coming from? There is probably a workflow or device that will create an editable format.

3. Re: matrox capture on desktop - no video on laptop
Iamnotno6 Feb 21, 2012 5:02 PM (in response to Steve Grisetti)i can capture in the following formats:
DV/IEEE1394
HDV
Matrox AVI
Matrox M2V
i am using Matrox AVI as that was the format i could edit with Premiere 6 & 1.5
should is use 1 of the others for editing with P-Elements?

4. Re: matrox capture on desktop - no video on laptop
John T Smith Feb 21, 2012 5:14 PM (in response to Iamnotno6)The two codecs that are NOT matrox will edit on a computer that does not have the matrox hardware
For a SD (standard definition) tape based camera you would use DV AVI
For an HD (high definition) tape based camera you would use HDV
Both of those are captured via Firewire aka 1394

Iamnotno6 Feb 21, 2012 5:57 PM (in response to John T Smith)OK, i'll try the DV/IEEE codec
i am using the 1394 interface from my camcorder

6. Re: matrox capture on desktop - no video on laptop
Steve Grisetti Feb 21, 2012 6:38 PM (in response to Iamnotno6)Wait. What? You're getting video from a camcorder with an IEEE-1394 connection?
Then why are you using a digitizer at all? Video captured over a FireWirec connection (miniDV or HDV) should be captured by Premiere Elements through an IEEE-1394 and it will be editable as is.
Why are you getting this Matrox device in the mix? It's at the root of your problems!

7. Re: matrox capture on desktop - no video on laptop
Iamnotno6 Feb 21, 2012 7:03 PM (in response to Steve Grisetti)i bought this system years ago
i haven't done any editing in a while so i thought i better grab the video off my tapes before they deteriorate
i have a matrox RT.X100 card & Premiere 1.5 and that was what i always captured
since my laptop has more power than my old desktop i was hoping to edit on there, once i had captured the video
a lot has improved since then, & i have lightroom 3 and thought i would get the elements 10 (for photoshop editing of lightroom photos) and get p-elements 10 for doing the videos
i don't have a 1394 interface on this laptop, but i'm sure my older 1 does
so i should just capture using e10?

Steve Grisetti Feb 21, 2012 7:07 PM (in response to Iamnotno6)1 person found this helpfulYes yes yes! Always use Premiere Elements to capture your video over an IEEE1394 connection whenever possible! It makes the best, smoothest editing experience possible!

9. Re: matrox capture on desktop - no video on laptop
Iamnotno6 Feb 22, 2012 5:10 AM (in response to Steve Grisetti)eventually i have to capture analog video i.e. beta & vhs (the matrox card is broke)
is there a cheap capture card i can use with p-elements?

10. Re: matrox capture on desktop - no video on laptop
Steve Grisetti Feb 22, 2012 5:38 AM (in response to Iamnotno6)I highly recommend against using a capture card or a cheap digitizer like Pinnacle's Dazzle. You'll only run into the same issues as you've had with the Maxtor video.
As the FAQs to the right of this forum suggest, your best solutions are the Canopus AVDC and (if you can still find them) the ADS Pyro AV Link.

Iamnotno6 Feb 22, 2012 5:39 AM (in response to Steve Grisetti)chasing my tail now...
tried to install p-e 10 on my desktop & i don't meet the hardware requirements...(probably missing SSE2 instructions)
i am still trying to find a 1394 cable to go to my old laptop

13. Re: matrox capture on desktop - no video on laptop
the_wine_snob Feb 22, 2012 7:31 AM (in response to Iamnotno6)Does your laptop have an ExpressCard Slot, or a PCMCIA Slot?
I have used the SIIG IEEE-1394A for PCMCIA, and it worked fine.
For my IEEE-1394B (FW-800), I use the StarTec ExpressCard, but this is their IEEE-1394A ExpressCard.
Those are NOT the cheapest of each type of card, which start at around US $ 14.00.
Good luck,

it installed fine, i plugged my camcorder in & it installed the device driver
but, i don't see my DV camera in p-e?

15. Re: matrox capture on desktop - no video on laptop
the_wine_snob Feb 22, 2012 8:28 AM (in response to Iamnotno6)Does Windows see the camera?
When plugged-in, and you turn it on, do you hear the "bing-bong," and see a Windows pop-up, saying that the camera has been recognized?
If not, go to Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager, and look for the camera. Any warning, or error messages?
Good luck,

Great news!
Yes, the Capture module is only in PrE (or PrPro, if one had that program). Glad that all is working well, especially as troubleshooting FW problems can take some time - checking cables, connectors on camera/computer and then the FW card/chip, and its driver, etc.
Happy editing,
