Hey again
Apologies for huge delay, but wanted to get another camera to test for sure, and have only just done that.
Have now tried a Sony DCR-TRV950E with exactly the same result. The camera that did work for me about a year ago on this firewire card was a JVC from memory. Starting to wonder if it’s a Sony thing.
Tried uninstalling firewire card in device manager a couple of times, even moved the slot it was in on PC, to no avail. Still gets recognised there is a camera attached, can still get the thing to rewind triggered from software (Windows Movie Maker etc.) but keeps saying to reset camera or that there is some form of error – no futher info.
Getting slightly miffed at this point.
Cheers
Paul
