Hey, I'm having a problem with Windows Live Movie Maker. Before, when I used Windows Vista, I would plug in my camcorder (firewire), the import video wizard would pop up, and then I would have an option to choose between AVI and WMV. This was really really good for me, because an hour of...

Hi I have been running W7 Beta w/ an Edirol FA-66 firewire sound card with great success until the Beta expired yesterday. The key to making the Edirol sound card work was to go into Device Manager and select the Legacy firewire driver. I since installed W7 RC and the legacy firewire driver...

I have a intel G33 chipset with a Q9300 processor in a Shuttle Glamour PC. It has both full size Firewire 400 and mini 4wire. I believe the Firewire chip is from Texas Instruments. It seems that anytime I unplug my firewire sound cards or if the sound card stops working, I get an instant BSOD...

I have a Firewire drive plugged into a firewire port via a PCMI card why doesn't Win 7 let me see the drive? In device manger it shows the device but will not let me see it in my computer/explore or even mount it?

How may this be done?
