I had the same kind of issue when connecting my hv30. I used pinnacle software and it picked up the cam instantly.
If I can help in any way give me a shout.

How did you connect your cam to your computer? With a fire wire cable?

I also have a DV Cam and if I connect it to my Laptop via firewire, my laptop reconize it very fast. My friend would also do a connecting the PC and his Cam. The Cam was not reconised. The problem was that there was no Videocard inside the PC!

With Pinnacle it doesn't work either. I have Pinnacle Studio 15 HD.

I've tried Sepu's advise and it works.
I already knew that way but I was hoping I could transfer the tapes straight to my laptop but without having to buy fire wire cards etc. :lol:
