I do video production using professional cameras that connect to my computer with a multiport 1394 Card. Previously in Windows/7 the 1394 driver had to be set to legacy to function properly. Well, Windows 10 indicates it has detected my devices (Panasonic DVG15 Camera) however, there is No video or audio. I installed a Windows 10 on an old AMD PC (v1809 x86) some weeks ago with motherboard's Texas Instruments IEEE 1394 card correctly (6-7 hours with only 1 GB RAM.). Once I connected my Sony Digital8 (DCR-TRV270E) camcorder, Windows 10 installed the necessary DV drivers drivers and worked fine. Was used to access camcorder (as always).
