Vista Home Premium on my HP laptop will not recognize the firewire connection
to Sony Digital Video cameras. Have tried a MS workaround editing the registry on KB but this does not work either. Yes the camera is turned on correctly etc. as it hooks up straight away to a desktop running XP. Any clues to making this work? "Cari (MS MVP)" wrote: Is the camcorder:- Turned on? In VCR Mode?

Are you sure the firewire port on the notebook is working correctly?

Yes Cari as far as I can determine from Device manager. I have uninstalled
firewire port and on reboot it is reinstalled. I don't have any other devices to try on it.

I am not sure if I have the same problem, but the symptoms are similar. I
have Windows Vista 64 Ultimate and purchased the Pinnacle 1394 card since it was listed as compatible on the HCL. I did this because the 2 other 1394 cards I had exhibited the behavior described below - 1394 Host Controller device recognized, drivers installed, but no devices are recognized when attached. I have tried (3) firewire cards, (2) motherboards, (2) operating systems (Windows XP SP2 and Vista 64 Ultimate), (5) cables, (2) ipods, and a sony DV camcorder and none of the permutations work. Based on all the research I have performed to date, the closest I can come to an answer is that windows XP SP2 and higher seem to have more strictly implemented the 1394 specification. I am certain at one time I did have one 1394 device working on windows XP, so I am betting it was pre-SP2. I am at my wits end and very frustrated since I have invested a great deal of time and money building this system according to the Vista HCL and would therefore expect it to 'just work'. Sorry to vent, but I am anxious to find a solution. mark "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: Ask a friend who also has a digital camcorder if you can borrow his/hers for half an hour or so and see if that one works on your notebook. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "PeterC" wrote in message news Yes Cari as far as I can determine from Device manager.

I have install a 1394 FireWire Adapter which my computer recognizes and indicates that it is working.

Help- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - After spending much of last Sunday trying to get Windows Movie Maker on Vista to recognize the Sony TVR900 attached via firewire, I had WMM running and was updating the anti-virus software when all of a sudden a window popped up saying the camcorder was there. I then download and edited a short tape. On Monday and Tuesday it worked. Today I tried again and it again fails to recognize the camcorder's presence. This is a 4 month old machine, the firewire has always worked (with an external hard drive), the wire is plugged in solidly, the camcorder is running on AC, I've tried turning the camcorder off and on while in WMM, or turning it on then starting the computer and going into WMM. I did the MS registry tweak about enumerating direwire devices. Does it just not work on Thursdays? Will it work next Sunday night? What is wrong? |

I bought a Canon XHA1 camera and when it is plugged into the Firewire on the
computer, I get the ding-dong sound, and it appears in the device manager fine. However it does not show up in "My Computer" and none of my Video Editing programs can "capture" it. Using XP PRO SP2. The camera is working and powereds from AC and I tried more than one 1394 cable, but nothing shows up except in device manager. Any suggestions?

To add the latest, I bought an "iSight" camera and plugged it into the same
port on the computer, and it worked perfectly right away. So, could something be wrong with my new Canon, or is there one missing step?

I have been having the same problem with my Sony TRV70. Device Not Found
when using Firewire. USB works fine, but not the 1394 Firewire connection. I stumbled across this suggestion yesterday, haven't tried it yet, but will do so soon. It appears to be an issue with SP2 on WinXP. There is a download hotfix file. The solution makes sense to me, I don't know why it is not posted in more places, so many people seem to be having this same problem. If anyone else has tried this fix, please let the rest of us know! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885222 When I first discovered the problem in October, I tried starting my computer with my camcorder attached and it caused me to lose a lot of important ntldr files and other problems. Since I have already had to start over from scratch after that mess, I am willing to try this fix... I figure I have nothing to lose at this point. |

Disregard my previous post (shown below). I downloaded the Microsoft hotfix
and I still cannot use my Firewire to connect my Sony camcorder. "karen100" wrote: I have been having the same problem with my Sony TRV70. Device Not Found when using Firewire.

I have been fighting a similar problem for the past 2 years - Sony DCR-PC1
not recognized when connected to Firewire port. I went down the route that had worked for some of downgrading drivers to pre-XP SP2 version, with no effect. In my case, my camera worked when connected to a Firewire port on a laptop in the office, but not on either of my 2 home PCs. I tried 3 different Firewire cards with different chipsets, 3 different cables - no luck. Recently I tried again, having replaced one of my home PCs. Once again camera not recognized when connect to Firewire port. I bought yet another laptop home from the office - everything works fine. Finally, I thought about the differences between the laptops and my home PCs - the actual Firewire port. Each of the laptop Firewire ports have been 4-pin, while all of the various cards/cables used at home have been 6-pin - connected to the camera by various 4-pin to 6-pin cables. So, I hunted down a $5 Fireire PCI card that has both a 6-pin and an 4-pin connected. Lo and behold, my camera works when connected to the 4-pin. I thought that a 6-pin to 4-pin connection was identical except the the 6-pin carries power. Therefore the signal integrity should have been there for the 4-pin connection.Anyway, this is not a MS issue, but has been dicussed in this newgroup many times. I hope my experience helps someone else.

I have also read that the Sony camcorder won't work with a firewire port that is bridged. I am not sure if that is the correct term, but I think it is meant to refer to a firewire port on the front of the computer that has the long wires running inside to the pci card that is actually in the back of the computer. That is how mine is currently set up. So, I will try your way in a while, once I can locate that kind of pci card. For clarification, is the small port on the camera 4 pin? So, the new pci port will match the camera port? Thank you for posting. |

I have the same problem as everyone else in this thread; the firewire port is existing and working ok in the Device Manager, but it will not recognise my DVcam (nothing happens, no ding-dong, when I connect the cam). Everything has been working for me for several years, a JVC DVcam connected to the Firewire port on a Creative Audigy EX-unit, but a month ago I did change the mainboard and processor in my computer and reinstalled XP Pro on the harddisk (still using the same Audigy and DVCam), and after that the DVCam is not recognised. Have you other guys found the solution to your problems? Did the 4-pin to 4-pin cable work for you, karen100? Sten |
