This may sound stupid, but I just acuqired Firewire PCI board, got hooked up to the cam and did a first endeavor of downloading video. I used Scenalyzer software for that.
The camera is recognized on firewire bus by the program, but initializing Start Capture - the program apparently begins to do something, but nothing is downloaded and it just stalls.
The cam is switched so Playback mode.
I also tried to start a playback on camera timmediately following Start Capture by the program - the film is playing back fine in teh cam, but the program didn't react.

What is the general procedure of video download through firewire ?

i am using Adobe premier for getting the video.
usualy when you press play, you also need to start capture from the software. i have no idea how Scenalyzer work, but find out from it is help file how to capture video. i am sure you have to triger the capture also from the software.

Thanks a lot, that helped. The program apparently waited for palyabck to begin.

Just managed to capture. :-)

Best regards, Alex
