• 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.

Since upgrading my computer to windows7 and my other computer running vista, I haven't been able to output video through the firewire.
I have always been able to do this with xp sending the video to tape.

All I get is audio, no video.
I have tried using premiere cs4 and windows movie maker. both in SD and HD.
I can capture video in sd and hd just fine.

Has anybody else had the same problem, any suggestions on fixing it?
 
Hey Charles - this thread immediately came to mind when I read your post: http://www.stormtrack.org/forum/showthread.php?p=251415

It sounds like you are a step further than David ever made it (meaning his camera/camcorder wouldn't even be recognized by Windows), but it sounds like there are still issues with Windows 7 and Firewire. I'm sorry but I don't have any advice to offer you, although it would seem someone here would have encountered the same problem you are experiencing. Hopefully someone will chime in with some advice soon.
 
Thanks for the reply.
I don't think my problem was with a driver.
I had an issue with the format of the video probably.
I had the same problem on my 64bit Windows7 machine and 32big Vista.
I did finally get it to output to my HDV tape deck by exporting to tape.
It took a little while to encode it then sent it to the tape deck.

In my previous version of Premiere (6.5) I could just play the video and it would output it through the firewire.
