Take footage from mini DV -> PC (Canon MVX330i)
Hi there, I have 2 machines, one running windows xp and one running vista 64 bit, both have firewire ports. Basically I have some mini dv tapes with footage on them that I want transferring to PC. I have the manual but no CDs and have looked in vain for software from cannons site that could be relevent.
Basically when I plug it into my pc by firewire, nothing happens, I tried windows movie maker and sony vegas to capture video from it but it says no device is detected. I also tried using a usb cable and again nothing happend on either machine.
I have tried selecting different modes, playback, camera etc, and it just won't detect it, I've tried 2 firewire cables and tested the port (my external hard drive works over firewire fine.
Anyone know how to do this? You'd be a lifesaver.
