From: Vicki L. on 15 Mar 2006 21:39 I am having a similar problem. I also have a Dell. I have an Emerson VCR and a Plextor PX-M402U video device. I have not problems on other video editing software, but get the "The Video Device is Currentlyin Use close any other device that is in use and try again". I am very frustrated. Can anyone help me? > is nothing else in use. -- Vicki L.

If the error message of "the device is currently in use" is from WMM, it's because WMM is unable to capture via these type of devices. If the error message is from the Plextors supplied capture software it could one of two reasons. a) A resource conflict, IRQ http://www.usbman.com/Guides/Upgrade%20Card%20Manufacturers.htm This site has some tips, ie deleting all USB's in device manager, and then reinstalling etc, also Updating the BIOS. b) Your Plextor may benefit from software patches or flashing it's firmware with an update: http://www.plextor.com/english/products/ConvertX2specifications.htm |
