no vidow dislpay in view field

[Guest]

I have fire wire hooked to a JVC-DVL520U, the computer recognizes the DV CAM
but when I go to capture the video output from play, there is no video
display and it will not capture, the controls under Movie Maker can control
the DV Cam, I have SP2, I have used the DV cam on my laptop so I knopw the
Cam works. I have replaced all the drivers updated everything I can think of
but no Video out. I hooked up a web cam and get video displayed in the view
feid. I am going to try replacing my fire wire card. Any other suggestions
would be greatful.

Hello;
Before you go and purchase another 1394 card, this behavior has been caused
by Windows Media Player.
If you have WMP-10, uninstall that first, and then re-install it. That may
correct the problem.
If not, uninstall 10 and install WMP-9 first, and see if this corrects the
problem.
If you have WMP-9, try installing WMP-10

Let us know

I'd also suggest updating direct x, and adding windows encoder if you
haven't already got it.

Have you just tried the cam and cable on the laptop? So you are 100% certain
they are both OK? One last thing to try before a new card, is download the
app called windv, free and just captures and exports.

Thanks for all the input, The problem ended up being my Fire Wire card, I
replaced it with 3 port firewire card and everything is working. Guess it was
so obvious that it didn't make sense to swap it out. I did learn a lot about
all this. Thnaks again.
