Windows 7 - 1394 drivers

I have upgraded my system to Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I have a JVC GR-D820EK cam with a fire wire connection for down load.

The 1394 card is installed and the current driver is:
windows\system32\drivers\1394 ohci.sys

The device manager tells me all is well.

The cam recorder shows up in devices and current drivers are:
windows\system32\drivers\ksthunk.sys
windows\system32\drivers\msdu.sys

Again listed in devices and printers status OK

My software does not pickup the JVC cam, I am using Corel VideoStudio Pro X4 which picks up my desktop cam which is in the same list.

It worked fine in Windows 7 32bit

Since posting I down loaded some more software, it picked the jvc up but would not play it or record, so I am convinced it is drivers.

I've had a good look round for JVC products, drivers and suchlike including Windows 7's hardware compatibility list (which doesn't show your camcorder) and drawn a blank.

All I can suggest is that you call or e-mail JVC direct.

I am not sure if this will help or not but it is worth a try. When installing the software/drivers right click on it and select troubleshoot compatibility.

It was the driver I installed this one after being given some advise and it solved the issue "1394 OHCI compliant Host Controller (Legacy)"

That is good news Ken.

Pleased to hear you resolved your problem and thanks for letting us know.
