capture problem

I just got a new JVC digital camcorder and when I try to capture video with
Movie maker, i get an error message that says something along the lines of
"too many interfaces..to fire" or something like that, and I am unable to
capture video directly from the camera. I am using USB connection since I
don't have a Firewire option, yet. I can capture the video using the
Imagemixer software that came with the camer, but it is not real convient to
use for editing, in my opinion. I would like to be able to skip that step
and just capture straight to MS Movie Maker rather than to imagemixer then
transfer to movie maker.

Any suggestions?

You need to transfer via firewire for Movie Maker to work with your
camcorder.... the process you're using captures MPEG-2 files which don't
work with Movie Maker.

You're not alone. I too have a JVC and I'm getting the same thing with a USB
connection. Occasionaly Movie Maker will hang and can't be closed also. When
this happens, I find two instances of Movie Maker running in Task Manager.
Neither can be closed and I have to power off my machine to recover.
