I have two computers with XP. One recognizes my Sony camcorder. The other
does not. The issue seems to involve the TI 1394 port that once was on the
computer. It never worked. XP said the 1394 port could not start. I
replaced the TI with a generic card with a VIA chip. This card was tested
in the first computer and works fine with the camcorder. I can't seem to
get rid of the TI drivers. I've gotten the machine to detect the Sony brand
name, but even when I point the Wizard at msdv.inf XP says it can't find a
driver for the camcorder. I've let it search the internet for a driver and
it says there is none. Does anyone know how to get rid of the last vestige
of the TI driver? Does anyone know how to get this machine to recognize the
Sony camcorder. TIA.

There is no driver for a camcorder as such. msdv.inf contains information
on how the OS recognizes a camcorder as a camcorder and then associates it
with the necessary drivers, including msdv.sys.

The IEEE-1394 driver is ohci1394.sys and is the same for VIA, TI, Sony, NEC,
National Semiconductor, Fujitsu and any generic OHCI-compliant port.

The OS looks in 1394.inf and tries to match the unique plug-and-play
identifier of the port with one of the entries in the last. It then
populates the registry with a lot of entries which will be there for
evermore.

To get an idea of what's still in your registry, you need to search it for
those entries specific to TI. Each manufacturer has a unique "vendor ID"
and this is what you need to search for.

Using regedit or regedt32, search for VEN_104C. You can try to delete them.
Sometimes, deletion fails and you have to override access attributes
(regedt32 does that, not regedit). The specific devices to look for are
(from the 1394.inf):

%PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8009.DeviceDesc%=TIOHCI_Install,PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8009

%PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8019.DeviceDesc%=TIOHCI_Install,PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8019

%PCI\VEN_104C&CC_0C0010.DeviceDesc%=TIOHCI_Install,PCI\VEN_104C&CC_0C0010

%PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8009&SUBSYS_8032104D.DeviceDesc%=TIOHCI_Install,PCI\VEN_10
4C&DEV_8009&SUBSYS_8032104D

If you have any other TI hardware, make sure you don't delete those entries!

Good luck!

John.

Thanks, John, I deleted all the VEN_104 stuff as you suggested, but it
still won't connect the camcorder. When I plug it in, it sees a new device,
the wizard tries to find a "driver" for it, but fails. Any idea what else
might prevent XP from connecting the camcorder. All parts work okay on
another computer.

You could compare the msdv.inf files on both machines. Perhaps one has a
more up-to-date one.

You could also try locating the registry entries for the Sony unit on the PC
where it works, export them and load them into the registry on the other
machine.

(You should be able to work out the Sony vendor ID from the msdv.inf file).

The msdv.inf files are the same on the two machines.

I don't know how to export from or load to the registry. Where can I learn

Start regedit (Start Menu/Run.../regedit <enter>)

From the Edit menu, choose Find... and look for "avc\ven_80046" (no quotes,
default dialog settings). regedit will find the first occurence. F3 will
go to the next one each time you press it. Keep going until the entry that
is found is in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D
0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\nnnn

nnnn will be a 4-digit number. Make sure you are looking at the
CurrentControlSet (not, e.g., ControlSet001). Most likely, the highlighted
part of the search will be "MatchingDeviceID" in the righthand window pane.

Now left-click once in the lefthand pane in a whitespace region (i.e., don't
click on an entry in the list). The highlight will now be one of the
4-digit numbers listed.

Right-click on it and choose Export. Choose a name and location for the
..reg file and select "Selected branch".

Close regedit.

Locate the .reg file and right-click on it once. The context menu will
included Merge and Edit. Choose Edit - this will open the file in Notepad
so you can see the contents. You should have something like:

Close Notepad. Copy the .reg file to your other system, right-click on it
and select Merge.

"Are you sure you want to add the information in xxxx.reg to the
registry?" - Answer Yes.

If successful:

"Information in xxxx.reg has been successfully entered into the registry." -
Click OK.

Now try to connect the device to the system and see if it works.

If it doesn't, post details of the IEEE-1394 ports in both systems and the
OS versions (service packs etc etc). Also, what model camcorder do you
have? I have three different Sony devices, and they all work.

John.

[The DV Show]

Focusing on the registry is only part of your problem.

Capture routines vary from software to software, computer to computer,
camcorder to camcorder- which means its not an exact science. This is a
common question everyone has from PC to Mac and there are many reasons for
not being able to capture. Because of this, there is no one answer so we can
start with the common causes blocking your camcorder's communication to your
computer and offer some simple solutions from there:

For Sony camcorders it could be a proprietary cable (an exclusively Sony
cable) not being used. Sony Firewire products often work only with Sony
I-Link cables.
1. Your computer's Firewire drive is 400 instead of 800.

2. Camcorder's menu settings not set up for DV-in/out

3. Computer resources are low- close all other programs, and run software
like EndItAll before you start any video work.

4. You're running a FAT32 system. Convert your filesystem to NTFS - FAT32
has a 4 GB file size limit. Here's how to do this:
http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/fatntfs.php

5. Connect your camcorder via Firewire to your computer throw the switch to
playback or VCR mode BEFORE booting up instead of having it in camera mode.

6. Older Drivers- this is the first place to look if your PC is having
trouble recognizing your camcorder. Go to your camcorder manufacturer's Web
site and look in the support section. You should find a page for the latest
drivers or downloads. Simply download and install the drivers, and your PC
should be able to work with your camcorder. You might have to reboot your
computer before the drivers are ready to go, however. Once you've rebooted,
try connecting your camcorder to the PC again- make sure it's in the
playback and not camcorder mode.

7. Older operating system - upgrade! You'll get better results when
transferring and editing video and burning DVDs than you will with an
earlier OS. On the Macintosh side, the upgrade to Mac OS 10.3 costs about
$130. Like its Windows counterpart, the upgrade is well worth the price.
This version of the Macintosh operating system is faster and more stable
than earlier versions and comes with iDVD, which is a killer application for
editing your home videos.

8. Running SP2 under Windows XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a2091337-a0ea-4b34-
b19f-b6ec04c1f2d2&DisplayLang=en

9. Firewire card is not enabled or is simply not working. To fix this from
the main windows screen go Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware >
Device Manager If when you get to Control Panel you cannot see System,
either click on classic view at the top left and it will then be one of the
options or go from Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance> System >
Device Manager. In Device Manager you should look for the IEEE 1394 Bus host
controllers entry. If you can expand this you should have something similar
to OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller. Neither of these entries should
have a yellow exclamation mark by them. if there is, you have a problem and
need to fix this. Here's how:

If you have closed down device manager, then open it back up.

Right click on OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 host controller and then left click
on Update driver. This will open up a box labeled Hardware Update Wizard.
Click on next and leave it to find the driver. XP should contain all the
files needed to replace the drivers for your firewire card, so after waiting
a short while, during which time the box will now say please wait while the
wizard searches. The box should end up saying the device is installed and
ready to use. If you check again in device manager the yellow exclamation
mark should now be gone.

There may also be a red cross through it, this would mean that the device
has not been enabled. To re-enable the device all you need to do is right
click on OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 host controller and then left click on
enable and you should be all set.


10. Conflicts can exist between pci cards due to the way the port has been
assigned. The main problems are, No IRQ has been assigned, an IRQ has been
assigned, but it has a software conflict, an IRQ has been assigned, and it
has a hardware conflict. Simply put the firewire card may be interfering
with say the sound card, or vice versa.

11. Installing new software - for example, installing a newer version of QT
will sometimes update your FireWire extensions during the install.

Now if these are any of your problems and it still does not work try
capturing video using a totally seperate utility apart from editing
software: it's called DVIO for DV in/out it's free and some swear by it
after exhausting all possible solutions. You could also try WinDV...this
software is free in our Download Vault:
