Jason!!!
Oh My GOD!!!! IT WORKED!!! My camcorder is capturing after I tried your suggested procedure.

Today I went to 3 stores looking for the new firewire card (pinnacle), they did not had it. I was cheking all the threads for 100th time to see if I missed anything , I decided to try your option. I am glad I did. it works!!

YeY!!!!! Thank you!
Only thing it does not do as of yet, it does not break it outomatically into sceenes. i will have to break it up as i edit it, or find a solution.

I have the same problem, after one month of search and test y solve it.
The problem is that the computer has a harware conflict with the firewire chipset and the camcorder, the most popular problem is that the firewire chipset is VIA, and it generate problems in a computers with motherboards without VIA chipset (INTEL in my case), in computers with VIA chipset in motherboard (Biostar) it works god.
I solved the problem changin the firewire card with VIA chipset for another with TI (Texas Instruments, www.adstech.com) now it works perfect.
I had to check 5 PC (3 AMD, 2 INTEL), 3 fire wire cards, and 2 cable. after this y can say that the solution is a TI (texas Instruments) fire wire card.

I am using SP2, xp3500+ 64, Asus a8v-deluxe Via KT 800 Pro

I have 2 firewire ports, one is my audigy 2's and one is VIa's

Neither parts are fully working ie) I can controlt he sony dv cam but nothing captures ... just a black screen

I have tried the update/fix from microsoft, nothing helped... I tried editing the registry and changing values to 3.... didn't help either...

any ideas?

Hello All,

I seem to to having exactly the same problem with my GR D33U not being able to capture the pictures, but being able to control. I have XP and a VIA firewire.

I have downloaded the patch from MS, but when I try to edit the registry, I only get as far as the bold shows, but the 1394_hc_hw_id does not show as an available file to select as a folder:

2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\P CI\1394_hc_hw_id\1394_instance_id\Device Parameters

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,
Donhinio.

Supposedly over-writing the drivers with the SP1 drivers is supposed to fix the problem, I have not tried this yet however.

Where can I download the IEEE 1394 driver from XP SP1 to give this a try?

Thanks,
Donhinio.

I have the file if you gimmi an e-mail address... Its the .sys files from the system32 folder..

I am using jvc GR-D70U. and pinnicle DV clip with the ieee 1394 card. When I try to use the cam I get an error message saying that "ieee 1394 card file is corrupt" Anybody else had this problem? It freezes my computer.

i have JVC gr 70U, and have the same problem, cannot capture it on my winXP. wheneever i press capture, my PC freeze. I use VIA 1394 chipset (firewire PCI card)
i already try all suggestions in this forum, nothing worked! try to update the fix form microsoft,
from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en

and then try to log off, not worl

just one left suggestion i didn't do, buy the TI firewire, so i still use this VIA.


after 2 hours messed up,
i just try the simple thing using my SONY VEgas 6.0c, use smart prieview, and it worked well, i can capture it!
when i try to capture with previewing, it freeze again, so any one who still have this problem, try capture with no preview or smart preview in vegas, i think other capture s/w has this option...i hope this help!

Please help. I have tried everything here and still cannot transfer DV from my GR D33U. My pc has a VIA firewire do I need to change it or is there another fix. My PC had XP SP2 on it when I got it so I don't know if SP2 is the issue since I never tried under SP1. Someone please help.

Thank you,

I read on Google a bit ago and tried it and it works!

Hello Friends,

I to found that I had this same blank capture Screen in all my vid capture software. searched the net for over a week looking for the Quick click "FIX"

First I tried the Sidspeed fix with no luck there. The next Thing I tried was a 12 dollar card from newegg.com that everybody swore would work,

15-124-015
ADD ON FW 1394 SYBA| SD-LUC-4F RT
1
$11.99
$11.99

sad to say no luck there ether at first,

I had been avoiding the "Final Solution" which involved switching some firewire driver files from sp1 into sp2. but I was at the end of the Road There was nothing I had not tried.I found the directions here.

http://www.videredesign.com/Vision%..._workaround.htm

I followed the directions too the letter as I was scared I might mess something up and have no camcorder use at all.

Well after doing the deal it was show time I pluged the JVC into the onboard firewire connect studio 11 fired up and I clicked on the capture take. My jaw droped still the Dreaded Black Capture Screen. Well , at that time I decided to live with the old analoge capture card that came with the mother board. I was going to pack all my firewire stuff and get my money back...

But then as a afterthought I tried the pci fierwire card I got at newegg one more time before I pulled it out. I didn't think it would work because I had done the same thing to the drivers on both the motherboard and the card. Pluged in the JVC Studio 11 fired up, I hit the capture tap and it was blank.... but I started the cam rolling and it worked and had been ever since.


In my Research into the problem it seem the microstuff made some changes to the 1394 drivers between sp1 and sp 2 that was not good for many DV cam owners not just JVC but others as well. Maybe it was a programmer typo. could have crossed the audio source for the vid who knows. Right now JVC and Mirostuff are playing the blame game.

I would seem that the sp2 1394 drivers arn't giving windows the right data source or coruppting. I believe 1 or all three of the solutions given here, depending on you system, will get you back with the dv crowd.

I believe that it was worth all the time and money that I put into the Fix .because once I got my old JVC GR-72U on firewire the image Quality was breathtaking . The JVC GR-72U lives up to all the rave reviews for a low cost high quality mini DV camcorder

Remember you may need the card and the xp sp2 workaround to get rolling. but I woud try the workaround first might not need the card.I don't think sidspeed had any effect for me have to get a plasama tv to find out hehe
