I also have the same problem Canon HDV. Cannot detect. It recognized the
camera in Windows with the ding I believe the first time and not again after
that. Have also tried in an Adobe program as well. New Camera, cable and
computer is quite new

I am now having this problem as well. It used to work, but when I plugged
the firewire into the camcorder today, it didn't. Nothing has changed with
the camera or computer setup. Has anyone else found a way to fix this yet?

Hi,
I've tried everything too. There's been LOTS of correspondence about this
problem. So why are we all having the same problem?

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.
