I have a firwire conection from mini dv camera to computer running windows xp which states that the firewire card is running properly. However, Avid dv express fails to see the mini dv camera and subsequently i cannot import my footage. Is there another piece of software to use purely for importing. Obviously i want it in the highest resloution and as a quicktime file. I have tried premier, but it only works in Avi and im sure there is a degredation in quality.
