Seems like my problem should be a simple one to resolve, for almost anyone who has been where I now am...but perhaps it is just too funky a problem, and no one has insight.
Seems like a simple enough thing to hook GL2 to firewire port, and capture vidfile in one or another of video editing programs. Thing is, none is recognizing that the camera is hooked into the system. Win2kPro says the firewire card is functioning properly. There has to be a driver issue...but no driver files came with the camera. On hardware install process, driver file is found in windows (apparently), but system cannot complete the driver install before error message comes up.
So here is what I need now: If I am to start the whole installation procedure over from square one...as many here have in the past...what should I do to insure that I get everything working properly? (problem seems completely independent of the video editing program...but could that be wrong?)
This camera is making a terrific hi-tech paperweight right now...and I would sure like to get some of this tape I've shot into the puter to see what I can do with it.
Please, someone must have some idea how to hook a vidcam to Win2kPro and get it recognized.
