It has not arrived yet but I want to be prepared for connecting it up to my PC for editing. I have bought a IEEE 1394 card and a firewire cable. However I have read that some people who have bought this camera have had problems with both USB and Firewire. Can anyone tell me if the NV-GS17 connects up to the a PC (using Vista) with relative ease using Firewire ? What will I have to do once the firewire card is fixed and the firewire is connected to the camera and PC ? Has anyone here connected a NV-GS17 up to a PC via firewire that was successful ? Did you have any problems. Also as I have Vista will that lead to problems while connecting this camera via Firewire ? If I am likely to have problems with Vista while using Firwire I have another computer with XP on. I would be so grateful if anyone could help. I'm quite worried. Many thanks Miles Mileslehmann1978@msn.com pc would be great to hear from anyone but very good to hear from people who have or had this camcorder and used firwire. |
