hi to all,
I'm completely frustrated with this. I have Panasonic PV-GS150 Camcorder and it use firewire, I'm running Leopard 10.5.2 with all the new update. my problem is I can not get the system to detect my Camcorder. Any one can help me out with this...

thanks in advance

Are you 100% the camcorder settings are set for firewire transfer.

I had a Sony camcorder that drove me crazy until in the menu settings of the camera I noticed that a "USB streaming" mode was on. (For USB transfer.) Turned that off and camera was detected through firewire and started working flawlessly.

connect the camera then try this

in terminal

kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireAVC.kext that worked for me. =]

just my 2 cents

The Firewire interface itself is listed in System Profiler?

Sure it's enabled in BIOS?

Any info in logs?

Check

CODE

sudo dmesg

for any possible info.

Hi guys,

I stumbled into this topic having the same problem as the topicstarter. The solution (sudo kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireAVC.kext) works for me, but after a reboot i have to use this command again at the terminal before I can capture video.

Does anyone know how to make sure this kext auto loads at boot time? i've read that ' normal' kexts only load with the corresponding devices connected, but all kexts beginning with IO should normally always load...

Still no camera working, I rebooted, Didnt work had to redo the above command like Bram1982 said, however this has never worked and I know my camera and cable are good, works fine on my mac mini.
