I have seen similar posts to this issue other times but no fixes have been posted. I have a jvc gr-d70u digital camcorder. I was able to connect via ieee 1394 to my win xp laptop and actually started to download video from the tape. It then stopped and I haven't been able to get it to recognize since. I have been unable to find a driver for the device to see if this would help, I found a MS patch but that hasn't made any improvement either. I am using windows movie maker, could use some suggestions. Thanks.

-   I have the same problem, only using pinnacle software. There was some forum that suggested downloading JLIP software but that hasnt corrected any problems. I apparently CAN access the (stills) memory card but not the video tape for capture...-   darkwhistle
I had a similar issue. I had never been able to download video to computer because the computer never recognized the camera. As a last resort, I bought a new firewire cord today -- and my computer recognized the camera as soon as I turned the camera to play! It was four years in the making (I thought there was something wrong with my camera this entire time!), but it was just a cord issue. Now the cord that came with the camera is in the trash, and I can download video. I did buy an (XP) driver for I think $8 online, but I'm not sure whether that really had anything to do with it (I have SP3). I bought it from www.helpdrivers.com, and it was called the JVC / GR-D70U USB Mass Storage Class Driver + G.726 Decoder / Windows

My zoom button sticks on and we can't refocus the camera. It makes a rattling noise. Also we need to get a new eye cup for the viewfinder. The whole thing was knocked off and lost.
