My Capture Software Isn’t Detecting my MiniDV Camcorder.
I’m fairly new to this platform so let me rebuild this post with some better context.
I have around 40 to 70 miniDV tapes of various different activities and events from over the years. Live music, buddies from high school, etc. So in no way am I in a rush to get this stuff on to a hard drive. I know it records to playback footage in real time, I’ve made peace with that part now.
I’m working on a brand new Windows 11 AMD Ryzen 7 7700x 8-Core processor, 32gb of RAM, GeForce RTX 5060 Ti.
I also have a working Samsung miniDV camcorder.
I installed a FireWire card that I know is working because my pc is showing it in my Device Manager along with the little ding sound to indicate it sees it.
Now, I can’t get DVrescue or OBS to detect it. The cameras playback works. I can watch the footage from the built in view finder. But for some reason the software won’t pick it up.
I’m sure it’s a simple fix and I’m just not the best at finding a good solution. Thoughts?
