Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder. Make sure your camera is in playback mode. The fine print in your manual makes reference to firewire (ieee 1394) connection. <br><b>References : </b><br> If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder….

Your computer needs a firewire port. If it does not have one, hopefully it has an expansion slot so you can add one. You also need a firewire cable. Firewire400, IEEE1394a, DV and i.LINK are all the same thing. USB won't work (you already know this). USB-firewire adapter/converters won't work, either. Connect the firewire cable to the DV port of the camcorder and the firewire port of the computer. Camcorder needs to be in "Play" or "VCR" mode. MovieMaker will capture the video. iMovie will Import the video. The camcorder manual can be downloaded from JVC: http://books.jvcservice.com/booklist.asp?Model=GR-D271US If it is possible to record video to the memory card, instructions to do that would be in the manual - I read through it and did not see anything to support this capability - but I could have just missed it. Refer to page 45... USB for still image transfer from the memory card; DV for video transfer from the miniDV tape.<br><b>References : </b><br> The JVC GR-D271 is a miniDV tape based camcorder.
