Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working
Strange that when you search for this exact problem on Google you come up with a million questions, and no real answers... I am probably more frustrated than anyone else on here, because it has worked on my Vista computer in the past, and now isn't! I have a Dell XPS with 1394 on board, using a Ricoh 1394 driver. I have restarted, bought a new firewire cable, tried using the USB, resetting the camera, unplugging, replugging, uninstalling the 1394 device, Searching for updates etc... to no avail. Bottom line, my devices show a 1394 device, and show the driver as the most updated, but when I plug in a working Sony Camcorder (DCR-TRV38) I don't get a ba-ding at all. I suspected a bad cable, so bought a brand new one, still nothing. I am using Adobe Premier Pro CS2 to attempt the importing, and have done so successfully in the past. There are even videos on this computer that I have captured from this camera with this unit. I am out of ideas. Lastly, when I plug in the USB as a last gasp effort to download stuff, it tried to find a driver, then said there was a compatibility issue with the Sony and Vista. After reading that three or so times I accidentally in a fit of rage pressed "don't tell me this anymore with this device" or something, and now wish I hadn't. Any way to undo that little drama? Thanks for any help. I have important video on this camera that I am trying to capture to help me in a frivolous lawsuit against me by someone trying to weasel out of paying a bill, and need to get to it quickly.

I tried the two connections (frontal and back).I am using the 9 pin connector Before installing Vista It worked perfectly. I can connect to my laptop (with a 6 pin cable) and to another older computer with windows XP with the same 9 pin cable without problems. As anybody a solution ? -- Froggystyle |

Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working
I just got the Canon DV-30 yesterday. Using Vista Business, on the first attempt it worked with no problem, Movie Maker recognized all the downloaded video. Than I added some more and tried the same thing... dead! I hear the ba-ding, no visible message, and no Import Wizard. Movie Maker on import cannot see the camcorder. In the same time Nero recognizes the camcorder, operates it, but no download... Reboot, camcorder off... after several tries, it might work... completely unstable. In my opinion, there is a Class-Action on the horizon... Any good news? H. -- Hundog |

Well, thank you Mr. Goldman. Regardless of your opinion, mine is still that the consumer, who spends money on computers/operating systems/camcorders, should receive quality product and no being passed from one manufacturer to another, due to someone's "mistake"... If a O/S patch is to be blamed for the multitude of such problems, than that should be fixed and "maybe" communicated. Don't you agree? -- Hundog |

But you're a complete and insufferable moron if you think you've got something worthy of a class-action lawsuit. And you're a fool for showing what a complete and insufferable moron you are. |

It is SIMPLE. Vista updates ruined it. I have had no problems using my dv cam with firewire until recently. There have been a lot of updates that I let through without really knowing what they are doing. This is Microsoft's doing. End of story. They better post a fix soon. It has to be from some of the updates in the passed couple of months, but I justed used the camera with vista with no problems 2 months ago. -- sinamos |

12_4_08 was the last time I shot something from the firewire. There are about 20 security updates after this point. I'm thinking of uninstalling these updates and crossing my fingers to pin-point the problem. -- sinamos |
