OOOOnly meeeeee
Hi guys and gals
As per usual I'm not sure where to put this. So I'll put it here and powers that be can move it if need be.
Okey Kokey
I have a JVC digital camcorder gr-dv9500
I don't know much about this things but I took some shots with it, and it looks great on the camera - so I install all of the software on to the computer, read all of the instructions and guess what ...... No Picture, I can operated the camera with the mouse through the computer but I cannot see the film, I can however see stills that you can take with it. I have been looking on the net and I wonder if I need to get a card ? MEEE something? does this mean anything to anyone? Please ?
-
Hi Michelle, how does your camcorder connect to your pc ?
-
hmm they just call it a connection cable, not sure what it called its not usb its like the monitor plug 6 pins with 2 screws at the side.
-
Ain't it got a Firewire connection on it Shell :wtf:
-
No one knows the answer to this one then? :(
I've reinstalled the software but its the same.
Very odd. ::) :-\
-
ohh spooky there cam you posted at same time.
Firewire ..... well ....... I've no idea.
The connection cable goes to a com port (thats it)
It says it recognises it and as I say I can operate the camera using the mouse but no picture.
-
Well i had to get a Firewire card for mine and there are some on ebuyer.
It should say somewhere shell like on the box or instructions :P ;D ;)
Couldn't get the link to work :brick:
-
Michelle..on the software disk..what OS does it says it supports?
-
oh thats it cammy, thats what I've seen on another website it says Ieee 1394 (Ieee not meee lol) that seems to be the card you are talking about too.
So looks like I need to get one of those then. The only thing is they talk about usb connections and this isnt.
It doesn't mention it in the instructions I have it seems to assume I have it. And I don't have the box, it was given to me second hand.
hmmm not sure about the OS it doesn't mention ME in the book only win 3.1 95/98 but it is quite an old camera. Could it be that then? I could try and see if it works on sons puter he has 98.
-
Also what version of Direct X do you have?

Might be the problem ..there is a download for Direct X 8 for problems like yours with older Camera's But before you down load it I would like the more technical minded to say yes or no ;D

-
I don't know hook .... where would I find that? I can only find a log file in C:\windows
-
Start/run/ and type in dxdiag & enter the leave it for 20 seconds.
It will give you all the info you should want ;) then let us know what you get.
-

8.1 is the version
-
Should be ok then :-\
-
ah okay, thanks for your help, so its either the card or the OS prob, I'll try it on other puter.
Thanks all :-*
-
Have a search for "Dazzle DV Clip" on ebuyer for the card and editing program or search "Firewire" for a pci firewire card.
I had to get this for my Digital camcorder when it came too ::)
Links aint working right from ebuyer for me :brick: :P ;)
