VideoRecorder does not work

[divewizard]

When I try to user the VideoRecorder I get an error message that says "Failed with error 21: The device is not ready."

The app then opens up can connects just fine to the microphone on the web cam.

The web cam is Microsoft LifeCam. The control p[panel says everything is working under LifeCam Cinema Properties, Hardware.

The camera works great with Skype & AVS Video recorder.

I rebooted to see if that was an issue, no change.

As far as I can tell this software is a useless piece of junk.

Hi Divewizard,

Does the error occur as soon as you toggle enable webcam option in Video recorder 2? Or does it occur during the recording process?

More information about the steps would be really helpful to look into this issue for you.

It occurs as soon as I open the software. When I click OK the software opens but cannot see the webcam. There is nothing I can do in the options box to make it see the webcam. If I try to turn on the webcam, it says no webcam detected. Yet the web cam works with all other software like AVS4U video recorder.

Hi divewizard,

We looked into the issue and possibly looks like some other app is accessing the webcam at the same time. Please make sure no other webcam accessing app ( LifeCam software or Camera app) is minimized or running in the background (task manager) at the same time.

Let us know if this solves your problem.

Same error message but different problem here,
It says ""Failed with error 21: The device is not ready." as soon as I start the software.
I don't use any webcam or mic or system audio, I just want to capture my screen on video.
The software lets me record it... then save it... but no file is actually saved.
please help!

That is not the issue. I can reboot, with nothing else running, open ACDSee Video recorder first, and I get the same result. Yet when I open any other app that uses the camera they work.

I tried to uninstall/reinstall. It worked fine only once. I could record my screen smoothly. But the second time I tried to record the screen I had the same issue. It won't save any file!
Please help, it's unusable!

Hi divewizard,

Are you using Microsoft Lifecam HD-3000 on Windows 10?

Hi Divewizard,

Thank you for all the screenshots. You mentioned that VS2 only detects the microphone part of the webcam. Can you please send a screenshot of the enabled microphone dropdown in VS2?

Again, appreciate your help and time.

It sees the microphone on the lifecam, but not the camera.

If I try to turn on the webcam switch I get this error message.
