[videoblogging] Re: XP2 Firewire-Video Help Needed
Thanks Kirk, I have been thinking about transitioning to a Xandros distribution for a long time. I need something that will let me get up to speed quickly and allow me to videoblog with my existing equipment. I'll look into Ubuntu. I have done everything and then some to get it to work. I have an old Win98 and it sees the firewire drive camera just fine, without drivers! It is really an old machine so I can't work with it but the devices and cables are okay. I think it is a problem with the firewall or something program that is preventing me from accessing the drive. I have spent the morning plowing through M$ knowledgebase and I am beyong angry at this point. I went out and bought a new card - same old story. Nothing but air. Mac or Linux I am open to the possible.

My wireless link did this a couple of times and then decided to give me no more problems. I hear the Ubuntu distro of Linux is worth a peek. Linux usually takes tweaking but reports are Ubuntu works just as it configures itself. The reviewer said it recognized hardware better than his copy of xp. If you have a high speed connection you can download it over the net.

I have been fight Windows XP since 6am. I bought a Panasonic GV19 camcorder. I have a SB Audigy sound card that has a firewire port. I know it worked because I used it with a firewire drive. So here is the problem. I hooked up my camcorder and nothing, zip, zilch and bupkis. Nothing in the listed drives, no tone, no balloon, nothing. I check the device driver, it says the card is okay, functioning normally. I bought a new Belkin cable. $27 Nothing. I hooked up the firewire drive with the original cable. I can see the light on the FW Hard drive but XP don't see blip. I know this drive works. However, I haven't used it since I upgraded to XP2. I open up the computer make sure that the card is secure. It is. I go to Panasonic, they say I don't need a driver, XP should see it as soon as I plug it in. I go to M$ - Windows XP2 has issues with firewire cards. Performance of 1394 devices may decrease after you install Windows XP2 Nobody fucking told me (or anybody else about it) I download the patch. Shut the computer on and off. Nothing. I swing over to Google Groups and find the MVP guru who does have helpful info on his site http://www.myvideoproblems.com I try everything that I can. Still no go. I don't have the cash to spring for a new 1394 card until the end of next week. Is there anything else I can do to fix this M$ caused defect. Because if I buy the card and it still doesn't work I will be quarter past enraged. Is there a specific card I should get/not get? P.S. If I could I would swing over to Mac in a heartbeat but I don't have that kind of money. I have to deal with what I have. Thanks, Gena http://outonthestoop.blogspot.com Yahoo!

Yeah, I deleted the 1394 OHCI Host and Windows rebuilt it. I reinstalled SB from the CD. On the CD there is a driver for the 1394 but it doesn't work on XP. From another site it was suggested that I copy the old 1394 .dlls from SP1 and plunked them in to the current SP2. I'm just really frustrated. I checked the camera out 3 ways from Sunday, I honestly don't believe it is the problem. It is between the port and XP2. I didn't want to upgrade to XP2, I just knew I was gonna get kicked in the rump for it.

Other than that, I'd be just as stumped as you are. The XP2 machine next to me pulls from my Panasonic GS150 like a pro. Gena wrote: I'm about to shoot this $#%#^! thing!.

Well, the only other firewire device that I have is the 80GB external drive - it does not see that either. It used to but not now. It looks like I'm going to be forking over $$ for a new card sigh.
