Whenever I hook up my camera (Panasonic GS300) and attempt to capture I've generate several conditions and none of the work.  The error I'm getting is ~ port OHIC is busy and cannot be used for deck control~ I've tried everything the help has to offer with no luck.  All I really want to do is just manually capture the video. Any suggestions that can be offered will be greatly appreciated.

Do you have another firewire device (e.g. external disk ?)connected via the same controller? If so, disconnect it and try again.

The connector is on my laptop and there is only one.  I do have a few usb ports but I can't see how that would cause the problem.  I'm sure it's in the settings so I'll have to investigate some more. I just got in from work so it will have to be later tonight.  If I can find anything I'll post it. Thank you for your response.
