My computer won't recognize my flip camera?

Why wont my computer recognize my camera when its connected?

  • My camera has a little icon and it shows a PC sign when connected but when i try to capture from it it says it has not detected my camera. and its a DV camera and its a JVC

  • Answer:

    JVC. eh? I got one too. Are you using a USB connevtion? Chances are, you are in need of a firewire connection. You probably need a FIREWIRE connection. Take the camcorder to a store and match up a cable to fit it. You most likely need a 6pin to 4 pin type. Your computer needs to have a Firewire card installed too. Get that if you don't already have one. Make sure that the cable fits it. JVC does not use USB to transfer movies. USB is for still photos.
