I'm not really sure where to post this, was debating between this section and windows 10. But I'll post here.
I recently found my old camcorder, circa 2005, Panasonic PV-GS14, with some memorable footage. I want to transfer the footage on the Mini-dv tape to my PC using a firewire. My laptop comes installed with a 4pin firewire and when I connect my camcorder to the PC, it makes a 'ding' noise, acknowledging the device. However, when I try to capture the video on Moviemaker and Sony Vegas, both programs won't recognize my camcorder.
The driver for my firewire is the, Texas Instrument 1394 Compliant Host Controller, driver date is 2006.
I updated it to the 1394 OHCI Host Legacy driver, which dates to 2013.
And the problem still persists. Any suggestions? Would be devastating to leave the footage on a tape without any digital backup.
EDIT: I decided to take basroil's advice, going to purchase a capture device.
