I have a JVC GR-D72U camcorder, running Vista Home Premium. I tried using

Windows Movie Maker to download my movies to my Dell computer, but it doesn't

work. Movie Maker would run my camera, but would not transfer any files to

the computer. I am running a firewire, and have a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE

card. Is this a driver problem, and if so, does anyone know where I can get a

driver that will work with Vista for this camera? I tried loading the driver

that came with the camera, but it still doesn't work. Contacted JVC and, (not

a shock), they never responded back to me. Any help you can offer is greatly

appreciated.

Have you tried downloading a driver that is for Windows Vista from the JVC

web site?

When I went to JVC'S website, I did not even see my camera listed. Do they

have a driver that will work in Vista for all of their cameras? I have read

on other sites that they do not plan on offering a Vista driver for this

model camera. If they have a 'one for all' driver that would be great! Thanks

I have an older Sony and I did not have to install any drivers for firewire.

Read the manual for your cam and make sure you have the settings correct. My

Sony has to be in VCR mode for Windows to recognize it and MM to import

video.

I tried switching to gum but couldn't keep it lit.

Vista and MM recognize my JVC camera, MM will control the camera and begin

playing my tape as soon as I click on it to do so. But it will not transfer

any data to the location chosen on my hard drive. The tape is playing in the

camera - showing up on the LCD screen of it, along with the audio - but the

preview screen on MM remains black, the total MB of data transferred remains

at 0:00.
