Windows 10 FireWire SOLVED!! It's not your drivers

[@joshua.sutherland]

It seems many are having trouble finding the correct drivers. I've been having good luck with the VIA driver (v. 10.0.19041.1) that seemed to already be present when I installed my card. If you're having driver trouble, I'd recommend checking out this site, and following the instructions there. It's a great resource for Firewire & Windows 10. www.studio1productions.com/Articles/Firewire-1.htm

[@spoonlamp]

Negative. I went to them before coming here. Following the instructions they gave my card went from being shown in the device management centre and the pc giving me a ping when I turn on the camera attached to it, to the device manager telling me the card no longer gets power. I had to reset and disregard and now I'm still looking for a resolution...

My new Firewire card (Startech 3 port 1394 Express Firewire card - it says compatible with Win10) will not show up in the device manager of my new Win10 Pro machine. I have read that TI chipsets can be an issue and that VIA has been more consistently working with Win10. I also read that many people don't care for VIA and recommend the TI chipset. Microsoft pushed so hard to get everyone on Windows 10, and then crap like this happens. I know that Firewire is old tech now, but lots of devices still in use need a working Firewire port. Mostly cameras and video capture devices. Frustrating.

[@jefjaeger]

@@spoonlamp I apologize. I was looking through my e-mails from 2 years ago to see if I could remember. I usually post resolutions when I have them. I took the new computer back to the place I have my computers built. It only took a few minutes to fix. It was something very simple, and then the computer could 'see' the Firewire port. I cannot find anywhere that I recorded the solution. Really sorry...but it was easily fixable. I still have the same computer and Firewire card, and it does work fine. It may have been switching drivers. I wish I could recall the solution.

I have a 1394 controller card that installed in March of 2020. I just the chance to download cassettes from my Sony DCR-TRV17. I received the sound that my PC saw new equipment, Hardware manager listed the 1394 card and said it was working properly, and the Hardware list shows the camera. However, the software video editing program (Adobe Premier) does not see any camera when I select "get from Camera". Try another card ? My present IEEE 1394a card has TI chipset

[@TTVEaGMXde]

In the device overview you could see that there is a VIA controller on the card. The VIA chip ran without any problems on my Windows 7 P 64.

[@JorgeCanela]

I have used a ton of FW equipment and a ton of FW PCI/PCIe cards. In Windows XP through 7, Texas Instruments chipsets always worked better in my case. With Windows 10 it's the exact opposite: VIA cards work well and TI cards work only very (I would say something like 10% of the times) occasionally. Just my 2 cents...

[@thanci]

Very good point. Thanks.

[@FantasticF113]

Yep, straight out of the gate I though it was the chipset. The TI chipset works best for Win XP/Win7 and VIA chipset for Win10. Can't comment on Win8.x Also, if you have a FireWire card with a TI chipset and you use Win10, you can also try forcing Win10 into Win XP compatibility and install old drivers for Win XP 64bit if the manufacturer has them

I can't readily speak for the VIA chipset, but that may be one of the cards that I had tried previously. I attempted the Windows XP route also with minimal results. The most of my ripping is similarly with a Sony DCR-TR520, also a Digital8. While I strongly recommend the StarTech, the second link I provided has a number of other cards that claim compatibility also. The Vantec seems to be most readily found. Compatible cards seem to be getting harder and harder to find.

Same config in every aspect as far as I can tell, even after installing a second Windows 10 instance without all the updates but the legacy drivers - no dice.

May I ask, does your camera show up in Device Mgr? Seems worth a punt on the Startech or similar. Which PCIe FireWire cards do you have?

Regarding the Pinnacle solution - I was thinking about this because it actually has a FireWire input, for digital transfers, they're not one of those analog S-video grabbers, so I hope that this would give me the same results as with the internal FW cards. Concerning the video format, I don't think there was any sort of conversion; with Premiere I've used the "DV" preset and saved the material in .AVI containers without any reencoding, as far as I know. Same thing with WinDV, the application just streamed the data from the camcorder into an .AVI file and that was it, no recalculation of any kind.

So long as you have a one of those slots open (navy blue, white, or black), you should be able to mount it no problem.

This is a reply to Joshua Sutherland's comment and question of two days ago. Hi Joshua! This may be a "re-post" of my reply/comments/questions of a couple of days ago. I seems that I may have not pressed the right button so, here it goes again (NOTE: If this really is a repeat of that message, please disregard - I'll wait for your response). I have tried using my Panasonic AJ-D230H, DVC Pro format via FW 400 connections on all three Win10 machines, with no luck. Several years ago I was using it with success using a Grass Valley Canopus DV Raptor card on a Windows NT (Pentium 3-400Hz) machine, but now I find myself in need of reconnecting the AJ-D230H machine to my Win10 computers, and I've had absolutely no luck. I would consider cannibalizing my old machines and the old video cards currently in storage, but would prefer not to (a lot of time and effort that might not pan out). One thing that might be an issue is the FW driver: my cards show "Texas Instruments 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller". About 3:00 into your video, you mention verbally as well as show on screen that your drivers are "VIA 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller". Is that because of the chipset used in the manufacture of your card, or is it a driver that I could download and update? Another item (YT video) that I've found that might help understand what's going on, albeit not solving the problem, is a comment by another YT Contributor who states, "...DVC Pro FW cards did not comply to the DV standard, so you were somewhat limited" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX3JfKeOrp2Jm6s) at 6:15 into his video. I'll continue looking, but your input is very much appreciated. Please let me know your thoughts...Thanks!!

[@joshua.sutherland]

Apologies for the late response. Only just now saw this. The VIA driver is due to the use of a VIA chipset. Chipset seems to be a main contributor to whether or not a given FW card will work or not. Unfortunately, I believe I've seen that the same card can come with either chipset at times. My original card was a TI if I'm not mistaken, and replacing with the VIA worked. There is an alternative method using Thunderbolt, if that appeals to you. I have a video linked in the description above where you can check out that solution. I haven't attempted it myself yet, but it may be more approachable for most.

OBS doesn't have support for this sort of capture medium. If you're attempting to capture live, I don't know that there is a modern solution (or if there was one in the past). if you're attempting to import tapes, I usually use Exsate DV Capture Live. It's what I've found to usually work.

[@DoubleMonoLR]

As Joshua Sutherland said, OBS isn't suited to this. From memory, I think it was Microsofts 'Photo legacy' app that was easiest for me in Windows 11 - it may have even opened automatically when I connected the camera. VLC also worked for me, but I think it showed a blank screen during the process - it did copy the video successfully however. You could also try the free WinDV app(it's been around a very long time), which is solely for capturing from or sending to a DV camcorder. It didn't work for me *but* I was using a Pinnacle USB device which is a odd beast that converts the firewire signal(only for DV I assume). You will often also get play, fast forward etc controls(when the camera is in 'vcr'/play/whatever mode, which is important) on the computer when connected with suitable software, as it sends the control signals over the firewire connection. It's quite different from analog or hdmi etc captures.

The biggest drawback is the XH-A1 doesn't have an SDI output (which would make it easy) like the XH-G1 does. But it does appear to still have an HD out terminal. So you'd have to get the output from the HD terminal, and then a converter or two to get it to a format you could ingest it on your computer. Something like a Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Analog to SDI, and then an SDI card for your desktop, I'd probably give that a try.

Fair point. OnLocation is something that I've had access to for more than a decade, and I'm familiar with it, so it's worked well enough. However, your comment got me looking, and I found Exsate DV Capture Live. It appears to interface much better with my old Sony DCR-TRV520, and basically manages the entire import of a tape on it's own.

@@joshua.sutherland How did you find that so fast? I've been looking for 3 hours and all I've found is a hundred different programs to capture the screen! But nothing to capture DVcam. Thank you so much!!!! I'm already capturing.

[@joshua.sutherland]

@@Robert08010 You're welcome! Found a reference to alternativeto.net on a form for another piece of software that's no longer available, but found Exsate listed.

[@Robert08010]

@@joshua.sutherland That's a very useful site, thank you. If you're interested, I've just opened a 20 minute long DVcam avi clip inside of Davinci Resolve 16 - which I heard was impossible. I was told Resolve does not support AVI at all. So glad they were wrong! The Resolve capture window would not even open as It didn't see my Sony DVcam but it has no trouble at all with importing what I have captured with Exsate.

Great news as I do my editing in Resolve now.

Search for a Firwire Card from a Dell System, one without additional Powerconnector. Every Firewirecard with additional Power is not a Firewire400, it faster and will not work properly under windows 10. Dell Has got a windows 10 Driver for their Card.

Excellent Elder, greetings from Peru¡

[@conorsheridan2998]

is there any other application i could use to import

[@joshua.sutherland]

I found HDVSplit worked for my Canon XH A1, and WinDV for my old Sony DCR-TVR520. You'll have to see what works for your setup. Check out www.videohelp.com/software/sections/dv for other options. Hope one of them works for you!

[@conorsheridan2998]

Joshua Sutherland thanks so much! also, my camera is not showing up. i have a sony dcr trv-38 and maybe you know some troubleshooting tips? Also, heres my subscription!

[@lifetrack6019]

Joshua Sutherland big help for me, thanks!!

[@joshua.sutherland]

I recently found Exsate DV Capture Live. I've actually changed over to using that, as it works super conveniently with the Sony.

[@CloveCoast]

I got the same exact brand same card except it’s B at the end instead of A. Never worked at all with windows 10. Tried everything. Gave up and moved on. The reason I got the card I got was because I was connecting audio FireWire devices, not video like most FireWire users. It was absolutely supposed to work, and Startech’s good! But it can’t because Windows. And so the $80 card sits in my closet for 2 years and counting.

You need to install legacy drivers

[@fred306801]

Are you shitting me ? $115 dollars for that card ??? My old computer still works. It has windows xp on it. and I gave ? $12 for the card years ago. Might be a pain but I will just use my old computer then save it to a flash drive and then pop it into the new computer.

[@joshua.sutherland]

This is quite unfortunate. The card was $33.21 when I purchased back in March 2019. 350% increase in price leads me to think it must not be being produced anymore perhaps. The second link did provide a number of other cards that should work as well.

[@joshua.sutherland]

This should be the same card. tinyurl.com/sb54tgh

Your PCIE card needs to have a NEC chipset to work.
