Direct X needed to Capture ??

Can someone please tell me if I need to have Direct X installed on my Win XP pc to capture video from my JVC camcorder. My pc will not recognise the camera. I am using a firewire cable. Firewire card shows as being ok.
Thank-you.

Direct X is a component of XP and therefore exists on your machine. I would recommend trying another firewire cable and ensuring your camera is on and set to play.

I have now tried another firewire cable camera plugged in & set to play, I also turned off firewall settings, but pc still does not find the camera. Am at a total loss at to what to try next.
