In Reply to: HELP!! PROBLEMS WITH DOWNLOADING/CAPTURING VIDEO WITH CANON ELURA 2 posted by Benjamin Hsu on April 04, 2001 at 23:22:50:
: I am having problems downloading through the DV port on my Canon Elura 2. What i do is turn the computer on, put the camcorder in VCR mode, and plug in the firewire cable into the camcorder, then nothing happens.
: I have a tried it on windows 98 and windows 2000. On the win 98 i tried moving around the PCI slots of the IEEE 1394 to try to get rid of IRQ problems. (the win 2000 firewire port was confirmed to work already). I have downloaded all of the firewire updates and patches for both OS's.
: Software programs i have tried to capture with: Adobe Preimere 5.5 Full, Digital Origin's IntroDV Trial, and Ulead Videostudio Trial.
: Nothing has worked yet..PLEASE HELP!!!
Benjamin;
This is just shooting at the moon, and sorry it is'nt much, but after you connect the cam and open the software, are you clicking on "capture" button in order to start the software's interface with your cam? Nothing happens with mine until I do either, then, after the software recognizes the camera, I can then control the camera's functions through the program interface, but until then, nothing, so be sure your software is recognizing (should say so in a dialogue box somewhere with the cam name).
And Dave......I'm quite impressed with your Mac......they make AWESOME paperweights!!!
