Firewire help

[C_lawgik]

So I finally got my Firewire card and I tried to hookup my Panasonic gs-19 up with. I have windows XP and after I installed the card it recognized all the new hardware and everything. So now I go to Windows media player and try to capture video and it works up to the point where I click capture video. The ni get an error saying "the specified DV device is not responding" what could it be? I have my camera running off AC power and all conncctions are plugged in and the tape is rewound.

Hi C_lawgik

I would never use Windows Media Player to capture video. You have firewire card installed cprrectly and the camcorder is detected. I recommend a free but nice video capture software called WinDV. Please download and try it from the link below:

ok i think its working. I have to put it on play for it to work so can I FF thru the video or do I have to watch it all over again?

The capturing process speed is the same watching video from your camcorder so be patient until the end. Never fast forward while capturing video
