I've been just building up a library of HDV material on mini dv discs and finally got around to start transferring these to PC, and it seems I've been blissfully ignorant of the iLink / firewire / 1394 issues that I'm finding whilst googling. Would love to hear from anyone who got this fixed.
Well a recent mobo upgrade and my sony handycam can be seen by windows, but my new corel videostudio x5 just hangs when I try and select video capture source. I did work with same cable and cam on old PC (can't remember if with XP or vista, last file I recorded was 2008!) with videostudio 11.5 and onboard 1394. I'm now using an old 1394 PCI card, which win 7 installs fine, not tried reverting to legacy driver yet (as suggest via google).
I did order a pci-e 1394 card but have cancelled it whilst I try a few other things, seems the card might be the issue really as lot of users with different cards seem to get same issue. As an aside will pci-e give me faster transfer than my pci card (I know 400 is limit but can pci make that?).
My kit :
Sony HDR HC3E Handycam
NEC 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller
4pin to 6pin Firewire cable
Windows 7 64bit
corel videostudio x5
