Hi John I am sorry, all I know , it is a gear head web cam with usb port connection. I have a HP m9600t desk top. Would the IEEE-1394 show up on my list of hardware some way? The camera icon shows up so I was hoping it was connecting. Thanks for your reply. If you can give me any more help it is appreciated.

I doubt that the camera you describe has a firewire port. Anyway...the following article shows some graphics that may help you identify the port if your computer has one: Download video from your camera to your computer http://tinyurl.com/knj9k or..... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/getstarted/DLmovies.mspx Your best bet may be to download the video to a folder on your hard drive / convert it to the .wmv format and then import it into Movie Maker. The following freeware can do the conversion: (FWIW...it's always a good idea to create a System Restore point before installing software or updates) Format Factory http://www.pcfreetime.com/ (FWIW...when installing...you may want to uncheck all the boxes on the final screen) Good luck... -- J.
