win10 cannot recognise my viewcam with 1394 firewire

[Winwinchan]

I've got some old dv tapes and I want to transfer them to files. Just bought a via 1394 card, installed it into my desktop, win10 automatically find the via driver. I downloaded the legacy driver from microsoft, updated the 1394 driver and changed to the legacy driver. Device manager shows that it's installed, but when I plug my jvc viewcam to the 1394 firewire and turn the cam on, no new device appear. I then figure out that there is a kernel-pnp error event id 411, the legacy driver is not activated. Anyone can help?

Download and use Scenalyzer, Don't worry about what appears on the screen.

It's win10 can't initiate/activate the 1394 legacy driver, even before i connect the 1394 cable. It can activate the via driver but can't detect the cam. It seems nothing to do with the capture program, it's the problem come with win10, right?

Kernel pnp error makes it cant detect pnp device.

Did you even try besides just assuming? Besides you don't always need the legacy driver, you should have tried sclive before installing any more stuff, it's easy to troubleshoot going step by step.

I dl sclive and run the program, it say "no capture device available on your system" in both legacy and via driver.

Check your camcorder port or change the firewire cable. What camcorder model is?

The card and 1394 cable are new. I change to an old 4to4 cable, using via driver, sclive detect my camera! It's now capturing. Windv can't detect. Thank you dellsam34.

Win10 should see the camera on the standard driver.

I read many posts saying that win10 needs the legacy driver, in fact my updated win10 cannot start the legacy driver, on the other hand, the via driver detected by win10 works with sclive.

Your welcome, Brand new doesn't mean anything nowadays, Chinese manufacturers flooded the market with cheap products that are not even tested or built to standards, That's why I buy new old stock or used brand name as much as I can.
