Thank you Ann Bens for your reply. It is something I will consider, though I fancied it as an editing software package too.

-Legacy driver http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/Firewire-1.htm
--ALL versions of Windows from 7 through 10 (and 11 ?) need the legacy driver!
I have NOT used it, but many say to try this for HDV capture

Thank you John T. for your help  I check on the legacy driver for my StarTech.com PCI express FireWire card, it said the driver is up to date and working. I will check your link. Thanks again for your reply.

Firewire capture is no longer supported.

I think Premiere Elements 13 was the last version in which it was supported.

 

You can use these programs for capture:

WinDV   WinDV

HDVSplit   HDVSplit 0.77 beta

Thank you Peru Bob I will use them if needs be, but why do they have a drop down menu whch says capture from a camcorder ? Maybe as you say not HDV, but it specified it some where or so I thought anyway.
