About digital video captures and DVgate

While I am recording images to a digital video device using DVgate, my system displays the message ’Recording to DV device failed. Check the power and cable connections to the DV device and try the operation again...’

Close all open applications and restart your computer. Frequent recording of images to a digital video device while using DVgate sometimes causes this error.
