Hi,
I am having trouble trying to download video from my new Canon MVX330i to my Windows XP PC. I have purchased an e-magic card reader and a firewire cable (from komplett). I installed the card reader and connected the camcorder to the PC but no luck. I have tried both Windows Moviemaker and the Canon Video software but they do not pick up the camcorder. On this camcorder you can take digital photos as well and download them to the PC. This is down via the USB cable on the card reader and this works fine. I'm a little confused about the card reader and I'm not convinced I have it setup OK. The card is not a PCI card. The card is fitted below the CD player and is connected to the PC via a cable (it looks like a 25 pin serial cable). One end connects card reader and the other end has 3 cables coming out of it one for audio, one a usb cable and the other a firewire cable. I have connected the usb cable to the onboard usb (as I assume this is how it's connected to the PC).

Cheers.
