jvc import video to vista budstundra 5/27/2007 11:45:01 PM I bought a new factory installed vista and cannot import video from my 4 year old JVC digital camcorder. It recognizes it, firewire connected but will not import either in a Pinnacle program or Windows movie maker. JVC said it may not be vista compatible, what is a person to do, buy another new camera???? Any suggestions?

Re: jvc import video to vista "rwh" <notgiven[ at ]not.com> 5/28/2007 12:28:38 PM Do you have a video capture card with S-Video or Composite (Yellow, White & Red) inputs? If so, that would be the easiest way. Use those connnections along with a video capture program to capture the video and then import the video file to Movie Maker. If you do not have one, they cost a fraction of what a new video camera would cost.

Re: jvc import video to vista "richard" <shack69[ at ]hotpo.com> 5/28/2007 7:45:51 PM Funny that response from JVC , my camera is older then that and they did not mention anything about it not been vista compliant. I thought the if the camera had a DV socket then it should be compliant with firewire and so no issue. Well as long as microsfot have used the full firewire definition for the drivers. I actually fif manage to get my camera to import once, but never again. I'm using a old Xp machine now to import and then do the manipluation on the vista machine. Well thats until I get a solution to the firewire problem myself.

Well thats until I get a solution to the >firewire problem myself. It is a VERY common problem for some firewire connections to NOT be fully 100% IEEE1394 (firewire) compliant. If they're not then you'll likely have anything from minor to serious problems getting ANY version of Windows to "see" and/or "control" your camera. A real pain is this can be a problem at the camera end (rare) or with the computer's interface card or motherboard or all of the above. Just for point of reference I'm using Vista 32 bit version and have a 100% compliant firewire connector BUILD-IN to my current motherboard. Works fine with Vegas, which is a professional grade video editor. However a previous motherboard while claiming it too had a compliant firewire connector did not and trying to capture video with it was a nightmare with constant dropped frames. My solution for the second machine was to purchase a cheap but KNOWN to be IEEE1394 100% compliant firewire card. I got a SIIG model. Cost about $20-40 bucks depending on which version and what type of MB slots you have open. Sure better than the frustration. BTW, my cameras are all several years old too. Windows should install a default firewire driver automatically form XPSP1 on up. I've never heard of any camera that needed to install drivers. As soon as you plug in the camera you should get two confirmations. A audio ping and the found new hardware box. If you install a external card you may have to install it's drivers. Been so long ago, I forgot. http://www.siig.com/productlist.asp?catid=1

Re: jvc import video to vista rpratali 6/28/2007 1:48:03 AM I am having similar issues. What model of SIIG firewire card did you find to be Vista Certified or at lease compatible?
