Hello,

Try putting the camera in Play mode and attaching the cable.

You should hear a "ding dong" sound, like the sound you hear when plugging
in a flash drive.

Trying to capture video with a canon mini dv, no luck. Have connected
with
firewire cable from computer IEEE 1394 to the DV port on the camera. When
I
click on capture from video device I get the message " A video capture
device
was not detected". Any one have advice? Computer is new, Camera is new
and
cable is new.
