Re: Copying Mini DV to PC
 

Hi to Scrubbs and Zing and thanks guys for your advice.

Zing - I have already tried swapping the pci card to a different free pci port on two different machines? Any other suggestions?

Scrubbs - I looked under the device manager and didnt find any yellow question marks which I guess is good! The device manager did "see" the camcorder which is encouraging. However other than that I still encounter the same problem.

The best result to date is that Studio 12 starts, appears ready to capture the data but then hangs indefinately showing the egg timer.

ANY HELP OR ADVICE GREATLY APPRECIATED :)

things to try?

connect another firewire device to check the card, a friends camcorder? at the same time check your camera with the same friends pc if he/she uses it with the camcorder.
Also try some other editing software other than what you have already?
