    Firewire- Need help connecting Camcorder


    Windows 7, Home edition, 32 bit. Desktop Computer

    I bought a Firewire card to plug my Panasonic DV camcorder in my computer. I want to transfer my video to a editing software, or direct to my hard drive, then make a DVD.

    I plug in the camcorder, turn it on, and I get a message saying it's already in use. close or shut down program.??

    I can't figure out what's going on. Can't download any video to any type of program.

    Any ideas where to look/proceed? Thank You

    Review this,
    AutoPlay - Enable or Disable
    Most devices like this will have a Upload switch/ Refer to the owners manual.
    Also click Start and click Computer/ Power up the device and connect the cable,
    The device might show up as the name of the device or as a Removable storage with a Drive letter/ E-F-G...after a few seconds while windows loads it's driver.
