My firewire card is working and my Windows 11 desktop computer can see my camera but nothing happens in the caprure window of P.E. 2023. It will not see a Panasonic NV-DS38 DV camera either.

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.

-Legacy driver http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/Firewire-1.htm

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.

You can use the software Peru Bob mentioned. Capture to HDD and import into Elements but

If the capture feature which no longer excists is the only reason for buying the product, you can ask for your money back within 1 month of purchase from Adobe.

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