When I bought my brand new computer: HP Pavilion Elite HPE-540f few years ago, PowerDirector 8 already was installed on it. Since that time, each time when I opened PowerDirector 8, clicked on "Capture" option, I noticed that the program does not recognize fully my two webcams. It reads/clasifies/recognizes them as microphones, audio capture devices ONLY.
I have Logitech QiuckCam Orbit/Sphere AF and Logitech BRIO.
The only fully recognized by PowerDirector 8 capture devices are: "Microphone" and "DVD Camcorder".
When I click on "Microphone" capture device, I see my webcam name- "Orbit Microphone (Orbit/Sphere AF)" there, chosen as a capture audio device. Then, when I click on "Settings", an Audio Setup window opens. There is an Audio Device option there, that when I click on it, it gives me avabality: "Orbit Microphone (Orbit/Sphere AF)" and "BRIO Microphone (Logitech BRIO)". So, my PowerDirector 8 recognizes my webcams as microphones ONLY.
In order to test my Logitech webcams and to be sure, it is webcams error, not my PowerDirector 8 error, I downloaded few other audio/video capture programs from the internet. Each downloaded program fully recognized my both webcams and gave me ability to take pictures, record movies and change settings etc. The test proved that there is nothing wrong with my webcams. It is my PowerDirector 8 error.
I reinstalled both my web cameras drivers directly from the Logitech website few times. My PowerDirector 8 still reads and classifies both of my Logitech webcameras the same- as audio capture devices ONLY. PowerDirector 8 is the only program there, that reads my both webcams as- microphones only.
If I only could change the way my PowerDirector 8 program reads/clasifies/recognizes my webcams, from audio capture devices to audio/video capture devices... they both would work just the way they are suppost to.
I deleted all other downloaded capture programs. They proved that my both Logitech webcams work fine. However, I did not like the way they were disigned. I would like to use PowerDirector 8 to capture pictures and videos. Please, show me the way how to make my PowerDirector 8 read my Logitech webcams as audio/video capture devices. Thank you
