And you are connecting the camcorder to the PC via firewire? Are you using
Windows Movie Maker? -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Client - Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/Windows "anthony" wrote in message ... Hi I am trying to capture video footage from my JVC DV camcorder.

Then before you tear all your hair out, go get a PCI firewire card and
cable. Honestly, USB is not the way to go. You can't capture digitally through it, only analog and it's never as fast as firewire. Spending $15 or so to get the PCI card is worth its weight in gold. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "anthony" wrote in message ... USB connection.

It might not be exactly the same problem.... so let's go further with this
one, when you connect the camcorder to the PC with the firewire cable, is the camcorder powered by the A/C cable and turned on and in VCR mode? Do you hear the connection 'ding' noise? -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Client - Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/Windows "WGN" wrote in message ... I am having the same problem, unable to capture.

The camcorder is powered by the AC cable and turned on. Per JVC instructions
it must be in "memory" mode verses "video" and on "play" verses "record". I know the PC "sees" the camera, because if i turn the camera to "off" it says the connection is broken. When i start capture manually - did this because on auto it did/could not rewind the tape, so i did that myself - MS Movie Maker says it can not see the came (dialogue box comes up), all i see is the icom (page with upper right end turned down) and an arrow pointing up on both my LCD screen and the frame in MS MM. The wierd thing is when i click on the dialogue box , the capture process seems to work - the time and disk space increments, but the film does not move forward and nothing is viewable when I play back what was supposedly written. I have XP professional and MS MM v5.1 SP2 (or Windows version 2.1.4026.. can not tell which is the right version number to read) "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: It might not be exactly the same problem.... so let's go further with this one, when you connect the camcorder to the PC with the firewire cable, is the camcorder powered by the A/C cable and turned on and in VCR mode?

What do you think of this - I was asking a guy in the office and he said that
he had problems connecting and his comment was that with Dell laptops - which is what i have - the PCMCIA card needs to be TI compatible. The Trendware TFW-H2PC card i have - he looked it up - he said is not TI compatible.

MVP Graham Hughes has done a good article on this, it may be of assistance
