If you copy are large file while streaming video from your digital camera, the destination file is corrupted.

The behavior will occur if your computer has the NEC 1394 chip set for the NEC FireWarden OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller installed.

To determine if your computer has this chip set:

1. Use Control Panel to double-click System.

2. Select the Hardware tab.

3. Press Device Manager.

4. Expand the IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers item.

5. If the NEC FireWarden OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller is listed, you have the problem chip set.

To workaround this behavior, DO NOT copy large files while streaming video.
