Hi

Have you managed to capture via firewire in the past?

If you have, then have you changed anything, installed a new program etc?

When you switch the camera on, does your pc recognise the camera.
Is your camera listed in the ‘Source’ box'?

Have you tried updating your IEEE 1394 driver. Via your device manager
Uninstall and reinstall this driver.

This question has been posted many times, Do a search on the forum for more info.
Others on the forum may have further advice.

Good luck
Trevor
