    Firewire help:

    Can anyone help me connect my video camera to the computer via firewire?

    The mobo and camera both support it, but I can't seem to get them to communicate.

    The camera is Panasonic PV-GS19

    Sometimes after installing it, you will have to install the firewire drivers seperatly from the CD, did you do that?

    Re: Firewire help:

    I think so. I'm not sure what I am missing. I installed all drivers that came with the mobo. No CD came with the video camera. My computer doesn't see the camera as a source.

    Re: Firewire help:

    Looking at there web site it appears to be a USB interface, rather than Firewire. They don't even have a Firewire driver for it.

    Re: Firewire help:

    Re: Firewire help:

    Thats the part I couldn't figure out.  Frustrated  I was hoping maybe you listed the wrong camera.

    Re: Firewire help:

    Nope, double checked the label. The camera definitely has a firewire plug. I'll keep diggin'.

    Re: Firewire help:

    yes, the camera has a firewire jack

    the motherboard should of has drivers for it. the camera wont supply them

    can you hook anything else up the the port on your computer?
