Windows 10: Windows 10 and Firewire

I've got an old Canon Elura 100 camcorder. To connect it to a computer I must use an IEEE1394 Firewire I/O port. I installed a PCIE Firewire card and updated the driver. Connecting the camcorder to the PC, I can see the Elura 100 in the Devices section of the Settings window, but it does not show up in the This PC window and my editing software Premier Elements doesn't see it either.

Windows 10 64bit won't recognize my camcorder via firewire.

Hi Zane,

For us to isolate the concern, kindly answer the following:

• Does you Sharp DV Mini Camcorder works on other computer?
• Have you tried using a different Firewire cable?
• Do you still have any other devices or other Camcorder that can be connected using the Firewire? If so, have you tried connecting them using your Windows 10 computer to check if they will work?
• Have you followed the steps provided by Ramesh.Kumar? If so, kindly provide us the result.
  
• What is happening when you're connecting your Sharp DV Mini Camcorder using Firewire? Are you receiving any error messages

Hope to hear from you soon.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Movimaker and Firewire problem

Hi.

I have tryed that and a number of other options.

Now I have given up and returned the PCIe FireWire 1394a Card (F-261) to the retailer.

Do you have any suggestion on other Firewire I/F card that you know works for Windows 10 ?
