Firewire upload problem

[Dave]

I have a Firewire card which came from an older PC (1999 ADS Technologies
PCI card.
Chip details:
94A3CEJ
TSB12LV22
F71125A)

When the card was installed, XP automatically defined it as a "Texas
Instruments OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller" & installed the
drivers etc for it.
I am trying to use Microsoft Movie Maker2 to import Digital Movies from a
Sony Digital Handycam. Unfortunately this, and another program I have tried,
inform me that "A video capture device was not connected. Verify that a
device is turned on and connected properly, and then try again," I have
checked the card details in Device Manager & there is no conflict & the
device is "operating correctly". The IRQ assigned is 19 & not shared with
any other device. Can you shed any light on what may be preventing
recognition of the card/handycam.???
I have had the Handycam on & the movie playing, or paused when the program
is started - still no recognition. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello there,

I have just searched the web using all three chip codes and found nothing at
all. Checking one at a time gives to many results.

However, a search on the rest of the info produces this link...

having looked at the first lines of text it does seem to be your card.

We have seen others in here with cards that show no problems untill you come to
use them, and so it might be with your card.

Hope the info is of some use.
