TouchSmart not recognizing Hi8 Camcorder for home video capture.

To capture home videos on my computer, I am using a firewire-to-USB cable to connect a Hi8 Canon video camera to an HP TouchSmart 600-1100 PC running Windows 7. The computer is not recognizing the device. I can't tell if I have a IEEE 1394 device installed (not listed in my device manager) and i don't see any firewire port, only 2 USBs.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Firstly, nowadays nearly all new Windows computers don't have Firewire port(s). And secondly the Firewire-to-USB cable alone will never work. You need a converter or a hub which is designed to do a conversion work. Firewire and USB are both digitals but two different ways to transfer data. The following hub is one example:

  • Connect camcorder drivers for a Sony CCD-TRV608 Hi8 Camcorder for Windows 8.1. How do I SOLVE? New camcorder?

    There are no drivers for a Sony CCD-TRV608 Hi8 Camcorder for Windows 8.1.  How can I solve this problem?  Do I need to buy a newer or different model that plays video8 and videoHi8 tapes that IS compatible?  Its a shame because I searched for months for the power cord and bought connecting cords for USB and the old fashion three RCA plugs for a VHS VCR and now I cant use them.

    Dear Comrade VideoGeek, Yes, I am extremely frustrated, and you have my sincere apology if I was rude to you.  I should have known better than to say unwise and unkind things to you.  My bad entirely.  Sorry!! The things you don't know are that Windows 8.1 does not under ANY circumstances acceps USB video streaming.  Not from my camera and not from Dazzle or ANY other device or cable.  That is written into STONE by Microsoft.  Can't do nothing about it.  That's a barrier that cannot be broken or worked around. The other thiing you don't know is that I do not have RCA outlets on my camera.  I bought it assuming it must have as most devices until then did and got it home in 2001 or whenever and found to my great dismay that it ONLY has a USB output.  Not multicolored RCA jacks of any kind.  That is also a barrier that I cannot break unless I buy a used camera that takes my tapes and DOES have RCA outputs.  My bad.  I should have returned it immediately at the time, unfortunately I was too ill at the time to do so. I know you were only trying to help.  I'm sorry if I was snippy with you.  You were extremely kind to try to help.  And I appreciate you.  Hopefully other people will see your answers and they will help them. Meanwhile, I'm banging my head against the Apple walls trying to find out which product of theirs MAY be able to work for me and which is the best solution for me all around and that too is a nightmare. Thank YOU for being so kind!!  And for respoding  with kindness.

    Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.

  • How is this for a PC spec for home video editing?

    OK - we've decided to get the new PC now, focused around decent performance for video editing at home when we do it.   Any feedback on the below would be greatly appreciated.  I've tried to put in my "principles", but as you note I've highlighted some questions around these. 
    Principles
    * Decent computer for Home Video Editing - so when we do it want it to be reasonable from a performance point of view (not annoying).  Also want assurance for the video data that a single HDD crash won't mean lost data.
    * Hard Drive Configuration - Assume RAID 1 for data
    C: 500GB - Operating System (1 x 500GB)
    D: 500GB - Swap Area for O/S (1 x 500GB)
    E: RAID 1 Redundancy for Data ( 2 x 1TB )
    * 64 bit Windows 7 Pro
    * Questions re Principles
    Is it really worth having a separate drive (D: drive) for Swap?
    Is there any real need to have a drive F: (another one) for exports?  This is non-real time so it shouldn't be an issue should it?
    Any major improvement re moving say the C: drive to SSD? (or not worth the $$)
    SATA II versus SATA III drives? (I've assumed both are ok when picking)
    The Spec
    CPU - Intel Core i7 960 Processor LGA1366 3.2GHz 8MB Cache CPU 
    Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R X58+ICH10R QPI 6.4GT/s DDR3 2000 PCI-Ex16 SATAII SATA3 USB3.0 RAID GLAN ATX
    RAM - Kingston 12GB(3X4G) KIT 1333MHz(PC3-10600)
    Video Card - NVIDIA GTX560 - Gigabyte GTX560 OC 1G GDDR5 PCIE DualLink DVI  [?? matches motherboard / is this overkill ??]
    RAID Card - Adaptec AAR1220SA-SGL SATAII RAID0 1 JBOD/2 PORT/Low Profile/PCIEx1/OEM/No Cables [?? is this ok - seems cheap ??]
    HDD (non-RAID) - 2 x Western Digital 500G RE4 SATAII 7200rpm HDD 64MB Enterprise [?? only SATAII this is ok no??]
    Case - CoolerMaster RC-942-KKN1 HAF X 942 Black No PSU [?? is this overkill - just took someone recommendation here ??]
    Power Supply - Corsair HX-850 ATX Power Supply w 140mm Modular Cables [?? power ok?  again just took a recommendation ??]
    O/S - 64bit - Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 64bit OEM(Microsoft OEM Terms&condition apply)
    Note - I'm looking at the following local site re where to source if this assists: http://www.umart.com.au

    Greg (correct me if that's not correct!),
    You're spec. looks like a great start for what you are trying to do. I have a few comments, and also two questions!
    Comments:
    - Spec. generally looks fine
    - I particularly like your case and p/s choices!
    - For a home PC, you may consider bumping up your OS choice to Ultimate, which adds some nice multimedia capabilities
    - Regarding the D drive for swap (and I assume you mean Premiere Pro media cache and media cache database too) will definitely speed up aspects of Premiere Pro, but likely be unnoticeable for other home PC day to day use. Why not build out the system and decide then if you need the extra speed for Premiere Pro - it is so easy to add something like that later.
    - I'd vote no regarding a need for a F output drive for this system
    - Regarding your OS drive... Speed and responsiveness versus cost - what do you choose? This really is a personal choice. I will say that a 2x1TB RAID 0 OS boot array would probably be a bigger step up in performance than a similar priced SSD option and a 2xSSD (60 to 80GB) array will perform better than a single larger SSD.
    - Sata II vs Sata III - I have some of each now, and I would agree with other posters and articles on the Internet that say the often larger cache size on the Sata III models is more important than the Sata III interface. Keep going like you are going, with the assumption that both are OK.
    - finally, your CPU; personnaly, with the new lower cost pricing on the i7-970, I'd suggest you downgrade to a i7-950 and same some money or upgrade to the 32nm 6-core i7-970 CPU and jump to a significantly new level of performance and power per watt
    Questions:
    - what version of Premier Pro will you be running?
    - what will be your workflow (i.e. DV, Sony consumer AVCHD, Canon DSLR, etc.)?
    Cheers,
    Jim

  • USB device not recognized by computer for iPod Touch 2G?

    Connected to computer as usual, but this time the computer & iTunes do not recognize it.  A message pops up from computer that USB device is not recognized and has malfunctioned.  Tried turning ipod off & on, then Reset all settings - no change.  iTunes had just updated so it is current. Restarted computer - no change.  Then I did the major reset on the ipod that erases everything - no change.  The ipod is charged and the 'connect cable to itunes' graphic shows on start up, but the computer & itunes do not recognize it.  Also tried using another ipod usb cable - no change.
    We've only had it 2-3 months (bought it used-about 5 months) and it has worked fine, with no problems, until today. The only change that comes to mind is the update to iTunes today.
    My other son has an ipod touch 4g & it connects to the same computer, same cable & itunes without any problem. Now my youngest son's ipod (2g) is wiped clean & I cannot put any of his apps or music back on it because it is not being recognized.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  My youngest is so sad, its heartbreaking.

  • IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode. Not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    Hi,
    My iphone 5 stuck during update to 8.2. It is now frozen in recovery mode, showing a 'connect to itunes' screen. The problem I have is that (the recently upgraded to 12.0.1) itunes is not recognizing my device. I have tried all of the suggestions here: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows, to no avail. I have not removed iTunes and reinstalled to test that, as I am concerned this will destroy the backups of my phone - which I will now desperately need once the phone is recovered.
    Has anyone got any suggestions?
    Cheers

  • IOS5 Update causes Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I did an iPad1 IOS5 update and on the reboot could not get iTunes to recognize my iPad.
    I did all the recommended troubleshooting to no avail. So I called this morning and while on hold I put my password back on my device just as before and BAM iTunes now recognizes device and is doing my restore.
    So if you do a backup of your device before the update and you have it password protected, it won't recognize the device until you go through and setup a new device and put your password back to what is was before, then BAM you're good! Good Luck and hopefully you won't have to spend the day I did figuring this out.

  • IPad not recognized within iBooks for Proofing

    When you load an expanded/unzipped ePub folder with the .epub extension added into iBooks using the File/Advanced/Add ePub to Library as Proof option, you select the purple "Devices" button and within the header of your ePub proof window, you should see your tethered iPad as a selectable device to proof from. However, I have one Mac Pro station that will not recognize any iPad that is connected. Whereas, an exact duplicate workstation, with the exact same specs and software, can see the very same iPads and connect to them. Has anyone seen this problem? It seems to defy logic.
    This problem has existed since the release of Yosemite, when Apple deprecated "BookProofer". If anyone has seen this issue and/or has solved it, it would be tremendously helpful to know the solution. The Apple iBooks team is currently working on the problem, but has not found the solution.

  • Searching Mac for analogue video capturing

    I want to purchase a mac (not necessarily a minimac) and connect an analogue video tool with it. This video tool has a RGB output and a S-VHS output. Unfortunately there is no basic mac setup, I can connect it with. All the current macs only support digital video input. Is there a solution to my problem? The mac I'm looking for should be able to:
    * display the analogue video signal in realtime on the mainscreen and! on a second connected screen
    * take a high quality screenshot from the current video stream and safe it on the harddisk
    Professional video editing and cutting is not necessary, only the overlay and the screenshots are important for this mac.
    Thank you for your help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    ...display the analogue video signal in realtime on the mainscreen and! on a second connected screen
    There are no current Mac models which include the hardware to import/display analog video built-in. You will have to purchase some kind of third party analog-to-DV converter. (You may be able to simply use a DV camcorder to do this.) There are several available and each may include different kinds of features (for example a TV tuner). The ability to display a video image on two different screens will depend on the type of Mac you get and the hardware & software you're using to display the video. iMovie (which comes free on a new Mac) will not allow you to do this directly. Higher-end DV editing programs like Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro will allow you to use an external monitor (TV) to display the video you're editing. However, they may not be the best for displaying video in real-time as it's being imported (for example, Final Cut Express does not produce audio while capturing video).
    You might consider using a device like El Gato's EyeTV. You could have a G5 tower with a regular monitor/display and a DVI to video adapter plugged into the second DVI connector and then connected to a TV.
    ...take a high quality screenshot from the current video stream and safe it on the harddisk...
    Of course, there isn't really any such thing as "high quality screenshot" of an analog video screen on a computer. If you use an analog to DV converter, NTSC DV is 720 x 480. I suppose you could consider a full resolution capture "high quality". This can be done with several different video editing applications including the software which may come with an analog to DV converter with a TV tuner. But, it's not like you're going to get a higher resolution screen capture than the technology uses. I guess we'd have to know a little bit more about what, exactly, it is you're trying to capture before we could make some more recommendations.
