A couple of other thoughts: I don't fully understand how you have connected
the camera, but the consensus is that video cannot be transferred via USB. If
you are going through USB, that is likely the problem. Get the firewire card.
Otherwise, look at Microsoft's Article ID 885222. It addresses a firewire
problem introduced by Service Pack 2. They have a patch that can be
downloaded and installed.
Finally, I read on a DV forum (don't remember which one) that quite a few
people had working connections that went bad with Service Pack 2. Their
solution was to roll back the firewire drivers to the Service Pack 1 version.
This seems to fix the problem for most people. The method of rolling back to
the old drivers was not simple because XP kept updating the driver to the SP
2 version. Wish I could give you the exact forum with detailed instructions,
but don't remember. Googling DV and Service Pack 2 would probably get you
there.
