        did you do this?

        have you tried connecting another usb device yet?

          BOOM!!!

          yes, using the old usb 1 port, when i turned the camera on "new hardware found" popped up, and samsung dvc 5.1 media opened right up with no probs, since the card i have does not have usb 1 can not connect it to that, but thats got to be the problem....but which part? at least we are getting some direction to the problem...

            oh, and ive had it hooked up via firewire the entire time, i havent even tried the usb2.0 since i do not have a cable for it yet, the firewire cable was sent with the pci card.

              usb1 run usb2 devices and vice versa
              I thought you said the card had usb ports?

              use the cable you used with the camera(usb1 and usb2 cables are interchangable)

              the camera might have to be set to firewire mode

                would've been nice if you had mentioned that earlier, the whole time i thought you were using usb, and i was baffled why windows did not recognize the device!

                get a usb cable. THATs why dvc 5.1 was not working!!!

                  wow, im sorry fellas, i thought we were all on the same page, my fault. i should of specified, ijust throught you knew since this is the kit that was suggested and it only came with the firewire cable.

                  on another not it works, but its no better then usb 1.0, just playing it through the media player is choppy, i see no difference using 1.0 or 2.0, i havent even bothered to record any since there is no difference. i thought this was suppose to give me nice smooth video play? do you thinking switching to a memory card in my camera instead of the small tape would benifit any, if at all? i dont see how i can see people's home movies on the internet and looks like mine does when i transfer it to the tv via rca cables, but when i put it on my computer, or just play it through the computer is so crappy.

                    does the camera have a firewire output mode? manual?
