Hdv firewire to what now??
My understanding is the Windows 10 does not support firewire boards. So what is the workaround for my Sony z5u ,analogue out to usb through a converter? Loss of data? Buy Sony hard drive developed for the camcorder on EBay $350? Any other information would be greatly appreciated. My old computer running windows 7 with firewire board died. Now between a rock and a had place.
Thanks to all. Ralph Last edited by Ralph Bowman; February 2nd, 2024 at 06:10 PM. Reason: Camera name |

Re: Hdv firewire to what now??
Have you downloaded the 1394 legacy driver from Microsoft?
It's supposed to add that functionality to Windows 10. Ken |

I have 1394 boards in both my Win 10 PC's. One is Win 10 Home the other Win10 Pro both run fine. Another of my Win10 PC has an interface on the motherboard.

Re: Hdv firewire to what now??
A bit if a late response but the HVR-Z5U/Z5N appears to have HDMI output. A HDMI-to-USB capture device might work. or a HDMI recorder might do the trick w/o resorting to an analog intermediate step if installing a $30 IEEE1394 board is out of the question.

Re: Hdv firewire to what now??
Still not sure why the need for Firewire. The camera uses SD cards . When I had one I just used a card reader to PC. Sony has software applications to read the cards etc. I also had the FMU 128 unit that would attach to the PC with USB 2.0 for capture to PC.

Re: Hdv firewire to what now??
yes stand corrected. I had both Z5u and NX5 so got confused and now see the reason for 1394 card.

Re: Hdv firewire to what now??
Don't feel bad. I wasn't sure myself and had to look it up. That camera seems like a hundred years ago already. :-)

Re: Hdv firewire to what now??
I have a Sony FX 1 I have an external HD recorder that uses the HDMI out. The better thing about that is that it bypasses the HDV compression so you have full 1920x1080 recording, although still 1080i. PM if you are thinking about that route. I don't do freelance with my camera anymore and could offer my recorder.
