Vista - Camcorder not recognized through IEEE 1394

**Shabaman** · 07-13-2008

Hello, I have a Sony DCR-TRV280 camcorder and I recently tried to connect it to my notebook(both have firewire ports) through the i.LINK cable. Problem is, my computer doesn't detect it in any way. I tried using Windows Movie Maker as the capturing program but it doesn't detect neither. I figured it would be like USB and would detect new hardware. I also looked under the device manager. Not found. Would anyone know what the problem is?

Did you have your camcorder turned on and did you select the camcorder's VTR
mode? If you have, you may want to contact Sony support.

Hmmm. VTR mode? I'm guessing that's playback mode, correct? The camcorder was on. I'll wait to see if I get any more replies before I contact Sony support.

Anyone else here that might know what the problem is?

EDIT: I rechecked and the IEEE 1394 is detected in the device manager. I tried something from an old post on this board (involved uninstalling ieee device from manager and manually picking a directory for the drivers to install for the camcorder).

Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working

Computer did not detect camcorder but it detects the ieee 1394 cable.
