441322 2006-03-27 20:09:00 i got a new mini dv camera today so i had to then buy a firewire card to capture footage. i put in the card and my computer detects it but when i turn on the cam i see no evidence of connection and my capture software does not detect the cam. please please please can someone help me??

441323 2006-03-27 20:28:00 right, my firewire external hard drive is not being detected either. so the prob is, the firewire card is being read but anything i plug into it is not detected Downie (10075)
441324 2006-03-27 20:41:00 perhaps the devices you are trying to use thru the firewire also need drivers installed........i have a firewire card, (pinnacle dv) and it detects and runs my digital camera perfectly. When I plug it in and turn the camera on it' pops up windoze movie maker..... drcspy (146)
441325 2006-03-27 20:42:00 also shows the camera in 'my computer' as ......well... a camera lol ...and will show a 'live' pic if I have the cam on..... drcspy (146)

i checked for jvc gr-dvl160 drivers and it says firewire cams do not need drivers as the firewire card does the work. this confuses me as my card IS working fine but i cannot access my cam. i think i may have a disc at work for the hard drive tho.

441327 2006-03-27 21:02:00 did you install drivers for the card itself.....also ...check controlpanel/system/hardware/device manager it should show up under the 'network adaptor' listings.......if it has an exclamation mark or there are other errors in device manager please report them back here ! drcspy (146)

ooh, just noticed - other devices/unknown device - hardware not installed because wizard could not find software

but if i don't know what the device is, i cannot update the driver:@

edit - this (www.safecom.cn) is my card

441330 2006-03-27 21:21:00 on the unknown device goto the driver tab and 'update driver'.....let it try auto........and also let it try to find the driver on the net too if it wants.....I can reccomend a prog called.....UnknownDeviceIdentifier.....which will tell you WHAT that unknown device is......www.zhangduo.com drcspy (146)
