Canon MV800i Mini DV Digital Camcorder

Camera not detected


posted by julian2ad on Jul 20, 2008


I have the same problem. Same camera. I got a new Dell Inspiron - which has a 4 pin firewire input. The canon came with a 4 pin to 6 pin cable. So I got a 4 pin to 4 pini cable but my comp still doesn't recognize it. Using Vista.
I have the same problem.

I had this prob too and it turned out that the settings on the camera had been changed. All I had to do was make sure the setting were AV->DV off in the VCR (play) menu
