MikeCottTrials Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Ive just come to my camera to get some clips off using a firewire cable but for some reason the footage wont transfer onto the computer, instead all i get is a blank screen (black) and the computer says no frames where transfered or something. At first i thought it maybe the tape but ive tried another one and i had the same problem so it must be either the camera or the settings on the computer, does anyone have any ideas or better yet know what could be causing this?

Greetings Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Too little information. When the camera is connected and playing, do you see an image in the capture window in Premiere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCottTrials Posted April 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Too little information.

So if you understand what i mean you press play on the preview thing on the computer but that screen remains black even though the viewer on the camera plays it normally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I guess it's something to do with your firewire card or the DV cable. For further troubleshooting, try connecting the camera to a DVD player or TV through the digital output. If everything works, the problem lies in your PC hardware. If it still doesn't work I guess there must be a bad connection inside the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Slightly off topic:Would anyone happen to know how to convert Windows Media format stye files (eg. mpg, wmv, etc..) into DVD-playable formats? I've always wanted to see a few internet vids on the widescreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
