I have 2 PCs, one with a TI firewire card, the other with a pinnacle firewire card. OS is windows me. Both PCs recognize the cards, but neither recognizes the camera. I have Directx vs 8.1. The camera recognizes the PCs, ( it displays DV IN when pluged into either PC) However the camera is not displayed under device manager and no capture software can find it.
Feed back from pinnacle says maybe the camera or firewire cable.
I have doubt about the camera and firewire being a problem, since the camera displays "DV IN" when wire is plugged into pc.
ALso tried plugging camera into a sony PC at a store, their brand new camera worked, but mine did not. Leads you to believe it is my camera.
But before I spend bucks on repair am checking this forum.
Thanks
