Following the directions in the JVC GR-D295U hasnt helped me in getting my HP dv9720us to recognize the JVC camcorder. Anyone have any ideas? Dig/vid cord from cam/ to usb laptop is new.

using firewire? most camcorders use firewire for video and usb for the pictures on the memory card. If the book says it will use usb for video then try a different port on the laptop and/or a different usb cable, try connecting a different usb device, does it see that one?

After further investigation of my own equipment, I've noticed that there are 4 pin firewire inputs on both the jvc camcorder and the hp laptop. I'll pursue that direction. Thank you, Sue.
P.S. I may also look into Pinnacle for one of those units. Lots of old super 8 film to capture before total degradation is finished.
(boy do I have alot to learn and not as much time as a teen or 20 something. "sigh")
