drivers for firewire connection of camcorders particularly JVC ones

[lathom46]

Sorry for the long thread title- upgraded? to xp a few weeks ago and have been unable to get my jvc camcorder(connecting via firewire) to be recognised by system. I had problems with early version of windows me but later one had windows generic camcorder drivers that worked for jvc camcorder. i cant find any generic drivers on xp have contacted jvc and they have been next to useless. does anybody have any ideas or can you point me to somewhere i might get some help.

Thanks

I have a friend who had the same problem finding firewire connectors for his camcorder so far no luck finding any =/

What model JVC camcorder is it? My one (GR-DVL-300) is recognised immediately with XP. I am using a generic Firewire card.

Thanks for the replies. My camcorder is a GR dvl-25, fire wire card is also generic firewire card.
