Hi Walter thanks!!!
G5 dual 2.gig, OS X 10.42, 6 gig ram.
Using Sony Video Walkman(s) taried 2, tried camera also.
Trashed all preferences, restarted computer, changed firewire cables, still does not see any device. Tried no controllable devices – still no audio or video. Under firewire DV control it does control the device.
Appreciate the help.
Wendell
