Copying Video

Post by **corpse** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 8:23 am

Same friend as with the address book has a camera that takes still pictures and movie pictures. It is a JVC. The still pictures auto load with the installed program, but we don't know how to download the video movies to the hard drive. Is there a special program or does it have to work through the video card?

My suggestion is to get a USB media reader. Remove the media card from the camera and then just insert it into the $20 media reader, and just copy off the files from your "removable hard drive"

Actually it is a firewire connection. SO I guess all I need to know is if there is a good video transfer program that you guys might know about. Windows 2000 Pro.

out of curiosity, how about a model # for the JVC camera?

GR-DV4000U The camera is actually quite new I'm told.

Because it's an older HP computer, I was thinking maybe it does not support firewire??

We put a firewire card [pci slot] in and booted up but wndows did not detect a new device.

The computer is an HP Pavilion XL759

serial number US03603466

I tried googling for an answer to firewire but couldnt see any results that would help. Also tried IEEE1394 compliant

The fierwire card did not come with drivers. And when we booted the computer up, it didn't say found new hardware or new divice .

Ill bet its chilling in yoru device manage tho..

Take a better look at the card and look for a brand and model number, then google drivers..

On the box for the card it says it is IEEE1394A and says something about pci 2.1

And yes there is a listing in device manger says pci simple communication device........with a yellow question mark beside it.

But because it didn't recognise a new divice on boot I wasnt sure if this was it or not
