Sony HVR-M25AU can't Firewire output?
 

Running Win11 with an installed firewire card. I can connect my Sony camera via Firewire to my computer with no issues. But I trying to connect my deck (HVR-M25) via firewire but not getting it to show up in device manager?

Is it in DV mode or HDV mode?

My tapes are mini DV

Not the tapes, is the deck in DV mode or HDV mode?

I think it is set to Auto

Try DV, and also there is an option for A/V to DV or something like that, try to set that to ON.

Tried everything I know too do??

Possible bad firewire output, Do you have another computer or another device with firewire to test with? How about connecting the camcorder to the deck, does the deck detects the camcorder?

s-video in seems to work but not Firewire. I have tried several cords.
