I’m trying to use the firewire link to connect my JVC GR-HD1 to my XP Pro machine running Service Pack 2. It has a P4 2.8Ghz hyperthreaded chip with 512MB of RAM on an MSI 865PE NEO2 motherboard.
I’ve tried this so many times, I am getting foggy on the details of what I have and haven’t tried, but no matter what I do the HD Capture Utility does not show the camera in the drop down list. I have set the camera to i.Link SW instead of Auto, set the play mode switch to Video, set the I.Link out to MPEG2, and even tried a different firewire cable. I have also tried putting in a tape with known HD on it and had it playing while I connected and disconnected the i.Link cable. Nothing.
Windows device manager doesn’t show the camera as being connected at all regardless of what I do, however the Windows registry shows occurrences of ‘AVC compliant DV camcorder’ connected under my 1394 device (which is OHCI Compliant). I have attempted to remove this registry entry and try again, but still nothing. Windows does not recognize that a device has been attached when I connect the cable to the camera. I do not honestly recall if it ever did, but based on the registry entry, I would think it must have at some point.
Any ideas? I have numerous tapes with HD footage shot and no way to get it out of the camera.
