Hi All

I've got a JVC GR-D53 camcorder, I bought a firewire card some months
back and when I installed it in my PC I dabbled a bit, and got some
results, but to do any serious work I needed to clear disk space. Now
when I've gone back to the setup, the PC doesn't see the camera. My
question is... should I need to load drivers specific for the camera
to see it via firewire? Unfortunately I'm a complete plank, and have
mislaid the disk that came with camera. Trying to get drivers from JVC
website(s) seems like a difficult task, even if the drivers do exist
on one of their sites. I've no doubt I'll turn my CD up after further
searching, but I really wondered whether I need it or is something
else wrong.

Would appreciate your comments.

Cheers
Mark

you need generic (msdv.inf) drivers for a firewire card.
the cameras drivers are usually for usb connectors for streaming and
still picture transfer.
when you connect the camera in the 'vcr' mode and switch on , the pc
should look for drivers and install

is it windows xp you are using ?

Hi Gary
Thanks for your response, you've confirmed what I thought. The PC is
running windows ME. I did notice that the mouse pointer changed to
busy status for a fraction of a second when I switched the camera on.
I'll have another go tonight.

Cheers
Mark

Hi Gary

I omitted to say, the other night I tried installing the capture
software that came with the camera on win2k (same PC - dual boot) but
could not see the camera.

I know this sounds like the 1394 card not working, but it looked OK in
system properties.

Hi Gary

I Removed the 1394 card, Uninstalled logitech webcam ( I noticed that
some files were used by this and MSDV) rebooted, reinstalled 1394
card, plugged in camera and it was detected.

The setup does not work perfectly by any means. Freezing occurs, audio
seems to drop out at a high level, this is almost as if it is being
clipped.

I'm using intervideo windvd creator v1
The PC op system is win ME
RAM 256 MB
Pentium 3

Any tips?

Cheers

Hi Mark.

I have a Samsung dv-cam and I have the exact same problem. I use Windows XP.
I hope you will share your progress, as will I.

Good luck! )

Ahhh... Then try this:

1. Download EnditAll from
http://www.compu-docs.com/Downloads/enditall.exe

2. Run EnditAll *before* doing any video work.

This is often caused by the firewire connection being momentarily interrupted.
You need to check whether the firewire driver interrupt is shared with anything
else.

I'm afraid that I can't remember where is the used interrupt list on ME but in
XP it is settings/control panel/system/device manager/view resources.

If the isn't any dual use then the problem is something else :-)
