Both hard drives & operating systems when booted up, used to recognize the camera, and now they don't - neither one.
I have 2 hard drives in my computer, both running Windows XP SP2 and have the drivers installed for Turtle Beach Video Advantage DV port. Though I really had my doubts because I wasn't having trouble getting it to work at first, the camcorder had stopped communicating with my computer for whatever reason.
Brown suggested, downloading the Microsoft patch and regedit to first change the SidSpeed to 3, restarting, when that didn't work I tried setting SidSpeed to 1, restarting with the camera playing, but that didn't work either. I also checked the System Hardware properties to see if I could see anything wrong with the Firewire port in my computer, and it says "working properly".
It's not in "My Computer", and I tried capturing with Windows Movie maker, Cyberlink Power Director-full version, and Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.5 (all of which used to work with this camera, and now none of them recognize it). Now, all of a sudden, my computer will not recognize my JVC video camcorder. 2 Days ago I transferred video from my JVC to my computer.
I also have Nero installed, but that's been installed since the beginning and hadn't had any probs before. I have had SP2 installed for years, so I don't think that's the problem. I have in the past, successfully transferred video from that camera to my computer using the Turtle Beach Video Advantage (which has the DV Firewire Texas Instruments OHCI compliant connect built in). So, I guess I have NO OPTION and no digital video on Friday, Janu18:36 GMTI'm hoping someone here can help me. I called Airmiles, they told me to talk to JVC. The tech rep did not care about anything but ending the call - do I have any options? no she said, it's up to me to do whatever I want. The computer is 3 months old, and came with winXP Service Pack 2, I have NO CHOICE but to run with the service pack as the CD came with it integrated!Īfter spending literally HOURS trying to get the damn camera working with the PC, searching the web, reading your website [ (which doesn't say a THING about my camera ANYWHERE in customer service!) via firewire, I finally called JVC Technical Support only to be told flatly that the camera won't work with winXP service pack 2. I'm running winxp media center edition with amd 64x2 processor and 1gb ram so I shouldn't have any problems. tell EVERYONE YOU KNOW NEVER PURCHASE A JVC PRODUCT EVER FOR ANY REASON!!!!! Once again, keep emailing me if it doesn't work ( on Monday, Octo20:42 GMTWell, JVC says their product won't work with win xp service pack 2 - here's an email I sent them.

Restart with same process of camera being on and going to MY COMPUTER. if not, continue on.Ĭhange the REGEDIT, SIDspeed value to 1. You should see an icon with your comcorder on it.

However, the second that they switch to Service Pack 2, the camcorder stops capturing (blank screen & no sound, but the PC can still control the camcorder).
In most cases, a camcorder will work "well" with any version of Windows. Many JVC camcorders that use DV/Firewire/1394 links to a PC use a different transfer speed than what is normally used in most all other camcorders/decks.
