• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Canon HV30 HD Camcorder for streaming

I have looked through the message board and have not found a thread that addresses this particular question unless I missed it....I am looking for a good camcorder to stream with via firewire to a Vista Home Premium OS.

I have tried mid range Sony, Canon, JVC, Panasonic models and have not been able to locate a camera that Vista will recognize...however, a friend of mine had the Canon HV20 and we plugged it in and it worked like a champ, Vista recognized it and allowed me to configure it in Windows Media Encoder....however, the HV20 is an older camcorder and hard to find new anywhere, internet and retail.

Does the HV30 support firewire streaming and is it compatible with Vista Home Premium edition....a call to Canon indicated the cameras do not support streaming....contrary to what I found with the HV20.....any help, thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.....
