If you use Potplay from Daum (It does everything) you won't need a serial number. Then again I wrote to Pinnacle and they gave me a replacement serial number. But like I said you don't need a serial number to use Windows media Center or Potplayer and eithe is better software then the original. The serial number is used only for OEM software that came with the Pinnacle stick.
Hi Follow the below instructions.
Getting Started: How to upload
Print
Once you've finished editing your video, made sure it's less than 10
minutes, smaller than 2GB in size, and in an acceptable format, you're
ready to upload it.
Click the
button in the upper-right-hand corner of any YouTube page.
Click the "Browse" button to browse for the video file you'd like to upload to our site. Select the file you want to upload.
Click the 'Upload Video' button to start the uploading process.
As the video file is uploading, enter as much information about
your video as possible in the relevant fields (including Title,
Description, Tags, and Category). You're not required to provide
specific information, but the more information you include, the easier
it is for users to find your video!
Click the 'Save changes' button to save the updates you've made to the video file.
It can take from a couple minutes to an hour for your video to
upload to YouTube.
If you're receiving an error with your Upload, you might want to make
sure you're attempting to upload a file that's recognized by YouTube.
YouTube accepts video files from most digital cameras and camcorders,
and cell phones in the .AVI, .MOV, .WMV, and .MPG file formats. Please note: your video must meet our uploading requirements: no larger than 2GB and no more than 10 minutes in length.
If your video does not meet these requirements you will need to re-edit
the video file on your computer then upload the new file to our site. Have more than one video file to upload?
Not a problem! You can upload up to 10 video files in a single uploading session.
First make sure the connections are on the correct places. Audio is white and red, not yellow, right channel is red. Then swap the left and right cables, to see if the signal on the left cable input is now heard on the right channel. This will tell you if the input signal on the right cable is missing or if the internal handling of the right signal is bad.
I bought this device last week online and it doesn't recognise anything: nor my VCR, video camera, DVD player ... ! Do you already have a solution for this ? Could it be an error in the pinnacle video transfer system ietself? If you have an answer , please email me at [email protected]
how about deleting all the software of that device and reinstalling it as a new device.
the program may have corrupted the flash drive and all the data that is on it and when you pluged into any other device it may of worked a few time but that it will start corrupting everything you have plugin your flash drive into.
you are going to reformat the flash drive and re install any type of drivers for the flash drive and check every where you have used the flash drive has not corrupt any of the systems you are using.
let hope we got it before you loose your intire system due to corrupted software downloads or uploads to flash drive and computer system and this may include a network if you are on one.
donwload amcap on amcap click options video capture filter video image tick the boxes ext audio and usb audio then go back to video capture filter on video decoder change the video to ntsc _433 then you will have audio and black n white picture then change ntsc_433 to secam_B than load pinnacle then capture/import
control panel admistrive tools,computer management,device manager scroll down universal serial bus controllers you should see a yellow question mark?right click to reinstall drivers or if you can see your usb but its not workingports(com&lpt)right click update driver or scroll to disk drives if you can see your drive + to expand right click you should see options to update driver,disable,uninstall scan for hardware changes. or select properties you should see options in the general tab to troubleshoot,policies,volumes,driver and details under the driver tab you will have the options to check the driver details,update driver,rollback driver or uninstall hope this helps
Okay , so there are some steps to figure out what is wrong with your external.
Firstly , if your computer makes a sound when you plug in your external ,
go to Start-Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Disk
Management , and see if your external drive is listed here with your
local drives. If it is listed , right click on the drive and change the
drive letter to make it appear in "my computer".
If your drive does not make a connection sound when connecting to your
computer and also does not show up , please follow the next step.
Remove the hard drive from the casing if possible and install it in your
computer case or another external case.If the drive works , the problem
is with the casing and you can ignore the drive.
Now , if the problem is with the casing , there are still 3 possibilities.
The USB cable between the drive and the computer may be damaged.
The circuit board which connects your drive to the interface of the external may be blown.
The power supply (if applicable) may have a blown transformer.
The
latter is the easiest to diagnose , does your external light up at all
when you plug in the power? If not , then this is probably your problem.
On the bottom of the adapter is a label which you will be able to use
to have a new adapter made at your local electronics shop and this will
cost about $30 max. They will also be able to test the adapter with a
clamp meter to see if this is really the problem and this should be
free.
The second component you want to test is the USB cable. If
you have a printer , swop out the cables and see if your printer
functions normally. Most externals use the same connector so you should
be able to test it in this manner. If the cable works go on to the last
step. If the cable is defective , replace it with a new one which you
can find for about $10 at most electronics and chain stores.
The
last component to test is the circuit board. This is a bit of a grey
zone as you probably won't be able to spot the blown component unless it
failed really badly. With the casing already opened , locate the
external's circuit board and check to see if you have any blackened
components or fluids leaking from some components. If all the other
components of the external worked perfectly , then this is the faulty
part. It is not really economical to replace the circuit as most of the
time it is out of production by the time you need to replace it and it
still costs a lot even if it is available so if your drive is working
perfectly when connected via sata or IDE on your computer , the best is
to buy a new casing and place your old drive in the new casing.
A casing costs about $50 and you could get it at most tech shops and big chain stores like Best Buy.
I hope this solves your problem and please reply if you need more help.
