Regular Crew Location: Zürich, Switzerland | Let’s try to solve your problem step by step As English is not my mother tongue, make allowance for wrong word selection As you have all kinds of system, we use as example the same type as mine. State of the art PC, with XP-PRO SP2 / or SP3 1. With both devices off (Camera and PC) connect them with fire wire cable 2. Set camera to on, in VCR mode 3. Start PC You should get a message “found new device” and after some time (!!) a message is shown “device is ready to use now” In device manager you should see near the top ='Audio-/Video/Game-Controller', there you should see something like 'AV/C……Device' (don’t know the English word) When you open this, you should see under Detail, something like 'AVC Sony&HDV-VCR&typ' Now download from this page HDVSplitt, Paviko's website HDV-Spitt works outside of all NLE-Programs and is also very good for testing the connectivity of your camcorder. When you open HDVSplitt, you will see in the first window right at the top “Connected camcorder”, if you see in this field your camcorder, you know, PC and camcorder know each other and the problem will be with your editing software. At least with HDVSplitt you can capture now your HDV tapes and import these files later in your editing program. Can you report your findings till now? Is it ok so far? We might have to try something else. volki |
