I'm archiving a bunch of old miniDV tapes.I have to use my old XP laptop because it has firewire. For some reason PD8 makes the playback stop a lot while capturing so I'm having better luck using WinDV. I still have a use for PD8 so I don't want to uninstall it. Would anyone know how to make PD8 stop starting every time I play a tape with the camcorder?

Hi I haven't had XP for a long time now so the old memory is fading, but have a look here and see if this helps http://support.en.kodak.co.uk/app/answers/detail/a_id/25720/selected/true I would have thought the procedure would be the same

to remove CL PD8 Software from the startup menu, go to the Control Panel > Scanners and Cameras. Select the camera from the list of devices, Right click, Properties. Select the Events tab. From the Actions menu, select the desired action -Take no action, apply, then click OK.
Restart the computer.

I tried it using Chrome and Firefox and neither worked. But thanks anyhow. What's the point being made in the article?

sometimes i can use my bald head as a crystal ball but, nope, i can't see it. so you're telling me you have only two tabs on your camcorder properties??? well, then you're screwed! ^^
there's a way to disable all but that one is too risky...

I downloaded your mp4 file (thanks for putting it on) and see there are 3 tabs in your setting but only 2 in mine. Sometimes Windows has 2 or 3 different paths to doing things. I don't know if there's another way to get to that setting?
