(Only issue I had was that the Nvidia 1050ti interrupts interfered with the interrupts of the firewire card. Unscrew case cover, unscrew empty slot cover, drop in card, close up case.
I just did this two days ago for a Dell Inspiron 620 and it's working with WinDV/Scenalyzer.ĭropping the card in literally takes minutes.

Using the firewire connection on the camcorderĪny PCI-E or PCI (depends on your motherboard) firewire card.ĭrop it in, connect, load optional Microsoft LEGACY firewire drivers for win8/10 as needed (if WinDV etc doesn't see your camcorder).

But if an "external" device would lower the quality of whatnot, I'd be willing to learn what I need to do to install something internally.Īlso, you mentioned there's no such thing as a Firewire to USB adapter that works with capturing video - I keep hearing about this Pinnacle device in everything I read, but sounds like you'd recommend against it?ġ. Thank you very much Vidd! Are there any specific Firewire PCI/PCIe cards that are recommended over others? If possible, I was hoping for something that would be easy to install externally on my desktop computer (I know nothing about the "insides" of computers, so opening my desktop up might be risky for me, feel like I'd break something haha). There is no such thing as a Firewire to USB adapter that works with capturing video. You have to purchase a Firewire PCI/PCIe card and install it in your computer. But if anyone thinks it'd be a good idea for me to buy a new firewire cable just in case, I can definitely do that.Īny help is greatly appreciated! Thank you all so much again!!!

Hopefully this was due to Windows Movie Maker or my cheap laptop, and not due to my actual firewire cable. I had all kinds of problems - dropped frames, dropped audio, etc.
Years ago, I used Windows Movie Maker (horrible program) to transfer the tapes to my laptop.

How on earth then do I transfer these tapes to my computer via firewire?ġ) How can I connect my JVC GR-D370U video camera to my PC via FireWire?Ģ) Once connected, what is the best program to capture the footage? (I read in old, old posts on this message board that Scenalyzer Live is the best program, but wanted to verify since these were older posts) The problem is, my current desktop PC does not have a firewire port. At least, I believe it is a "firewire" cable - looking at page 9 of the camera manual, the connector I would use to transfer the tapes to my computer is referred to as a "Digital Video Connector (i.LINK) (IEEE1394-1995)." I even have the original firewire cable that I used to use to transfer the tapes to my computer (unfortunately, I was an idiot in college and deleted all of the transfers I once did!). I still have the original camera used to film all of these mini-DV tapes.
In the research I did, it looks like FireWire is the only way to do a "perfect quality" transfer, correct? Any advice on the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated.* I do have one last step to take now - I have about 30 mini-DV tapes to digitize! I'd like to put the footage from my mini-DV tapes right on my computer as digital files (not on to DVDs). If anyone would like to see how I did that, here is the thread - I am fully satisfied with the results of what I did and the recommendations everyone here gave me:* I could not have done it without all of the help and support from everyone here! You are all far more knowledgeable than I will ever be, haha. I recently finished up digitizing all of the VHS and VHS-C tapes in my "home movie" collection! (45 VHS Tapes and 76 VHS-C tapes, a whopping 128 hours of family memories spanning 20 years! Pretty cool).
