Install xp service pack 3.

It sounds like the DVDs are protected by Macrovision copy-protection. The ADVC units are not designed to bypass Macrovision copy-protection.

Change the DIP switch to PAL, unplug the unit (no power), then plug it back in. You need to power-cycle the unit to after changing DIP switch settings.

Also make sure that your capture application is set to PAL mode, if there is a NTSC/PAL setting.

Try WinDV

Check that you have power to the unit via the supplied AC adapter.

Otherwise you need to contact technical support. The unit sounds like it is damaged.

If you're using an S-Video cable, check that there are no bent pins on either end.

Plugging in the FireWire backward, especially if it's the 6-pin FireWire, will damage the unit's hardware. You need to contact technical support to arrange for repair.

this just happened to me tonight...whats going on?? is this some recent leopard related error?

Hi! You must use a firewire in order to receive power - if you're going to use composite cables (red, white, yellow) you will have to purchase an AC adapter.

this sounds like its a setting problem on your controll can you change the setting that says av try this its sounds like its not picking up the right signal check all wires are not damaged then try changing the settings in your menu options it is not a fault with the unti itself so dont worry to much as i dont have manuall for that model i cant tell you what settings to change ill have a look for manuall on net for you and will email if find anything what make and model of telly are you using ill email info to you if i find it sorry couldnt be any more help going to bed 10 past 1 in mornung here will look on net for manuall in morning hope this is some help to you sorry couldnt help tonight its late will email tomoz...............................................

Maybe different OS? If your friend have XP and you have different operation system?

I'm guessing that you have it connected via a 6pin firewire on the ADVC100 to a 4pin firewire on your macpro. The device needs to be connected via 6pin to 6pin in order for the device to get power, otherwise you'll have to buy a AC adapter (which is not included). Otherwise it's a great device for DV conversion on multiple platforms!
