I have a JVC GR-HD1 and my computer doesn't detect it on the firewire.
The camera is set-up according to the instructions. The computer will detect 2 other cheapie JVC cameras I have. I was running WinXp sp1, didn't work, upgraded to sp3 still nothing. I bought a new firewire card which uses the same VIA chipset and still nothing. I tried it on my laptop which uses a Texas instruments chipset, nothing.
I tried the camera on a friends Sony computer that uses a VIA chipset firewire but also says SB2 on the driver and it worked. I could control camera from the computer and capture both Dv and HD.
Any thoughts why it only works on the Sony computer? I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

Thanks.
