Firewire Problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Hi,

I have been trying to capture DV from a Digital8 (Sony TRV355E) camcorder to
a PC (XP) with a Pyro Firewire Card. Unfortunately the camera does not seem
to be recognised.
The camera is in VCR mode and I have tried this on more than one PC so I
suspect there is a problem with the Firewire chip on the camera. The problem
is how do I check this?

Any advice would be greatfully received.

regards
gerry

Only by connecting the camera to another computer.

Or to another camera that recognizes Firewire in.

My Sony has the same problem. I googled and found some threads stating
that Sony had a problem with the chip shorting out. Rather than fix
it, I bought another used Sony with digital pass through on e-bay for
about the cost of a repair.

Or with a different cable.
