Playback Problems using Firewire port

When I playback a MiniDV tape WITHOUT connecting the firewire cable both image and audio are perfect. But when I connect the Firewire cable to the DVS3's port playback starts to "fail". It is a mosaic pattern error. It occurs during two or three frames, when image rapidly shows little mosaic dots. The error happens randomly - 10 seconds after plaback stars, then after 1 minute, then after 3 seconds, and so forth. I sent the VCR to JVC. The number/intensity of this error decreased but it still occurs. The problem exists since first use. I also tried a brand new cable. Any ideas? Is there any solution or have I lost my money for god?

    I have a problem with dropped frames and not exactly background noise, but a slight high pitched distortion of the sound. I've been using my camcorder to digitize it's gotten so bad. I even made sure that I had the correct driver. I'm using AVID Liquid, BTW. I don't have any problems capturing from my GL1.

Is the power from both units being supplied from the wall outlet? If so, it is possible to accidently create what is known as a "ground loop" condition. The easiest way to induce this unwanted condition is to connect one unit to an outlet on one wall, and then connect the other unit to a whole different outlet. Always connect units to the same mains connection to help prevent this...Accordianman

How to transfer sony dcr-hc26 videos to pc using usb cable thanks
The Sony HDR-HC26 is a miniDV tape based camcorder. No surprises if you can't get USB streaming working.

ALL miniDV tape based camcorders transfer DV-format video by conneting the DV port of the HD camcorder to the Firewire port of your computer. USB won't work. The "DV" in miniDV = Digital Video. It is as digital as the digital video from flash memory or hard disc drive or DVD based camcorders - only better because it is not compressed as much as the others.

Memory cards are not the only way to store digital video - and while not as good as miniDV tape, memory cards are not as bad as DVD based consumer camcorders...

Firewire IEEE1394, DV and i.LINK are all the same thing.

If your computer does not have a firewire port, hopefully it has an available expansion slot (PCI for desktops; PCMCIA or ExpressCard for laptops), so you can add one.

How do i copy recorded video unto my computer
Add a firewire port to your computer and get that working. Then, using a firewire cable connected to the DV port of the camcorder (not USB), you will connect to the firewire port you just installed and import the video.

USB is used only for transferring stills from the memory card or maybe using the camcorder as a web-cam.

To get the video off the miniDV tape, you need to use firewire (IEEE1394a, i.Link... all the same thing).

Panasonic PV-GS35 will not connect to iMac, so can't upload video from mini DV cassettes into iMovie. when I connect with my USB cable, nothing shows up on the iMac saying that the camera or a "N0_NAME"...
So if it's miniDV and you have a firewire cable, it should work. Have you followed this sequence:
If your battery is sufficiently charged to run the cam for an hour's worth of tape, fine, otherwise connect cam to AC power. With cam OFF, connect Firewire cable to Mac and cam. Open iMovie, name your project and create so that the viewer screen comes up. Turn on the cam. At this point, your Mac should, within moments, say "camera connected". Cam needs to be set on "playback" mode for capture. Then click "import" button and your Mac will control the cam.

If you still get a "no camera connected" you have to consider the possibility that either the firewire cable is bad or the firewire port on cam or Mac is bad. If you have more than one firewire port on your Mac, try switching. An Apple store should be able to help you determine if you have a bad cable or cam port, if you take both in to try on their Mac. Hope this gets you on track.

I need drivers for JVC GR-Dv500 camera
GR-DV500 is a miniDV vcam w/c must be FIREWIRE**-connected to a pc to upload video thru video capture or video editing* application while vcam is on playback. Before cable** purchase, note: Firewire port of vcam is 4pin...check the firewire port of PC whether 4 or 6 pin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewire

Normally, the drivers are bundled with your computer OS, such that when the vcam is connected, the vcam is recognized by the video editing programme.

For starters, free Windows Movie Maker* (XP-wmm2 & Vista-wmm6) provides simple & easy way to learn the ropes < click help for details>. Upgrade to other video editing app http://video-editing-software-review.top... accdg. to need & skill level

Video Editing Process
>>> open wmm- start/all programs/wmm->TASK pane
..Step 1. Capture/Import video files (+pics, music) to be edited
..Step 2. Edit- drag/drop files->timeline & enhance w/effects, transition, music & titles
..Step 3. Finish (render)- save Movie file, also save Project* file
..Step 4. Share-burn to CD (to DvD thru a DvD authoring app)

Playback problems - timer stays at zero
Firewire transfer problem with PV-GS320. HAd bought the PV-GS90 and ran into significant transfer issues importing to Mac (iMovie and Fincal Cut Express HD both had problems). Upgraded to GS320 as Macworld rated it highly. Same problems: video plays back perfectly with no computer connection. once connected, video and audio stutter, go out of sync, sometimes just stop and/or crash the program.

I've used a borrowed Canon GL with this Mac before with no issues, so I suspect the camera. Have tried reset button, trashing preferences, restarts, the works. still can't get clean video to transfer from a brand new camera. Any Ideas?

Video capture problems
Sounds to me that the bit rate on your PC or capturing device is not as high as that now available through the firewire ports. Try increasing the bit rate in your settings and see if that helps. Or have you always used firewire?

Turn On & Connection Problems
I have the same problem with my zr60. The firewire port on 3 macs and one PC will not detect the camera in VCR or camera mode. I have the feeling the firewire port in the camera died since the ports in the computers is able to detect other firewire devices.
