Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working
I have a Sony Handycam and i am not being able to connect it to my computer with the firewire connection. I have recently installed vista on my computer and even using the IEEE 1394 connection the handycam is not recognizable in the operating system. Previously it used to work in Windows XP just fine but with this new OS installation, it is giving me problems. I suppose removing this vista would be a good choice?
Re: Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working
I have the same exact problem as you. I have a Dell XPS with Vista. I have a Sony DCR-TRV240 video camera. For six months now I have been importing videos with a 4 pin to 6 pin cable with no problem. The last successful one was end of July. I tried this week and it is not working. When I connect the cable on the camera LCD I see DVI In so the camera is connected. I have also reinstalled the Firewire drivers and done a reset on the camera. Just wondering what you ended up doing.
Thank you for your help.
Re: Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working
I have a Canon ZR800 camcorder with firewire connection. Using it in my school studio with a computer running XP and Visual Communicator for green screen. Working fine using a 4 pin-4pin firewire cord until several weeks ago. Firewire port stopped working. We changed out the firewire card and cord. Still did not work. Will not work with any other computer either. Another camera works with the computer so it is not the computer. What can be done to the firewire port on the camera.
