When you run Microsoft Windows Movie Maker on a Microsoft Windows Vista-based computer, Windows Movie Maker may incorrectly detect the mode of a digital video camera. This behavior can interfere with publishing to tape or video capture.

Typically, digital video cameras have three or four modes of operation. These modes frequently include the following modes:

• Camera
• Off
• VCR
• Memory

The details of these modes vary by manufacturer. However, most cameras provide the same functionality. When you change modes, Windows automatically detects the mode of the device.
