[I'm putting this comment at the very top of this thread on 29-09-02 because esnate has just posted a note saying that Service Pack 1 for Windows XP (SP1) cured his problems with the Sony VX1000 - see page four of this thread. Hopefully, this will mean that SP1 will be a cure for other people's problems. Other possible cures are a rename of some files - see the comment by DiamondDCR on June 12 - p3; and a change of graphics card - noted in a different thread: www.dvdoctor.net/cgi-bin/ubb/Forum10/HTML/009827.html BC]
There seems to be some concern that Windows XP may not work with all the models of DV camcorder that it did work with in earlier versions of Windows (since 98SE).
To try to discover whether this is a real problem - and its scale - and to make it possible for people to upgrade to XP with some degree of certainty, please comment here to let us know whether or not your DV camcorder works okay with Windows XP.
As well as saying whether or not it works okay, please ensure you tell us:
* Make and model of camcorder
* Camcorder broadcast format - NTSC or PAL
* Version of XP - Home or Pro
* Make and model of FireWire card (if known) and, if not known, how the card is reported in Device Manager
* Make, model and version of video editing software that works with XP and your camcorder.
If the camcorder does NOT work properly, please try to give us chapter and verse about the problem, describing how, if at all, the camcorder is identified in My Computer and Device Manager.
And, if the camcorder does NOT work properly, please also tell us whether the installation of XP was a clean install (ie to a blank hard disk) or an upgrade (over the top of a previous version of Windows).
We will try to use the information gained to attempt to get Microsoft and camcorder makers to address any problems identified.
We will also try to ensure that this list is made available on web sites, including Computer Video's, and also copied into this messageboard's FAQ forum.
TIA

Camcorder - Sony DCR-TRV620E & CCD-TRV24E
Format - PAL
XP ver. - Home
Connection- via Pinnacle DV500+
Software - DV500+ 2.01 but it also works with Beta 2.0 - not bothered to update to 3.0RC1, will wait until full release.
Everything works fine as long as both devices are powered up before switch on of computer. If powered up when XP is running, they are not recognised in "My computer" - analogue device is not recognised at all but able to capture in Prem6.01.
Tried to use one of the above cams in Windows Messenger but no chance - took the coward's way out and bought a webcam!
Good luck and well done in your research.

The following PAL DV devices work okay for me:

JVC GR-DVL357E (DV camcorder)

Desktop PC with Datavision DV Capture card -running Windows XP Home
Desktop PC with Evergreen FireLine capture card - running Windows XP Pro

Panasonic DS28 worked on my Dell 8200 XP Home under VideoWave 4 using the bundled TI OHCI Firewire card with a "Unibrain" sticky label attached (origin Taiwan).
Premiere 6 failed to recognise the DS28 via this card. DS28 was not listed under the Premiere Settings options list. It did not work either as "Panasonic generic" or as DS25 (the nearest I could see). I tried this as PAL DV 32khz and 48 khz.
As an aside, Premiere v6.0 was acquired as part of the Matrox RT2500 bundle. The Matrox card does not install on my Dell 8200 XPHome, showing a "Plug and play configuration error" message on the initial boot up screen.
The BIOS level on my PC is A01.
To add to my woes, the floppy disk drive failed, an I/O error, when I tried to format a disk, and yesterday 13 December, the motherboard was pronounced dead as a door nail by Dell. It is to be returned for replacement nest week.
These several problems are now lodged with Dell, Matrox and Adobe awaiting a response. I`ve decided not to hold my breath waiting for replies and reslutions to these various problems.
Camera: Canon mv 200 (dongle-enabled DV-in)
PC: Sony Vaio FX405 Notebook (TI Firewire)
Windows: XP Home
Editing Software: Premiere 6.01
The camera is correctly identified both in My Computer and Device Manager.
For all practical purposes, everything works fine. Long captures are OK, hardly ever a frame dropped. Export from Timeline is robust. Two minor reservations: (1) Unable to preview transitions or effects in real time using the Alt key. Must be rendered first. I see that Andy Dean has a similar set-up but does not report this problem -can anyone suggest a solution please? (2) Playback from the Timelne and scrubbing the Timeline only look fluid in Premiere's Monitor if the connected camcorder is either switched off or playback to it is disabled in Playback Settings. If the camcorder is left 'on', Timeline playback and scrubbing (but not unrendered transitions or effects) look perfectly fluid on its own screen, but at the expense of a stumbling view in Premiere's Monitor.

Thanks John. I have no trouble running the Ulead editor (the new PC's a fresh XP installation), it all works, but it just looks and feels like a toy. I'm used to "proper" editors (Premiere (yuk), EditDV/Cinestream (nice), and Avid, Incite, Jaleo etc (expensive stuff)).

I've now installed Cinestream 3.0.1 on my fresh XP machine. It works correctly but refuses to recognise the OHCI card at all. Windows Movie Maker and Ulead still work fine with both DV sources. My spies tell me that the next release of CS will fix it, but there's a cludge available now, I'll report on that if I get it going.
WinXP Home clean install as dual boot with Win98SE on separate drive. Sony TRV110E Dig8. Adobe Prem6.01. Worked well on Win98SE both capture and playback and still does. On WinXP camcorder recognised as Sony in device manager, captures fine using SCLive, recognised correctly under Premiere. BUT cannot playback from the timeline. Using Export to Tape the camcorder is controlled correctly and starts recording BUT no video or audio is output.
I have started a thread on this in the hope that those who don't follow this thread will read my new one.

Seems to work well so far...
I have posted the following query elsewhere but am now convinced the upgrade from ME to XP PRO is the cause of the problem.
Sony (PAL) PC100 shown as Imaging Device: Sony DV Camcorder using firewire to OHCI card included with Packard Bell Ixtreme 9200. Fresh XP PRO install from CDROM deleting all previous partitions. (first attempt messily spread XP between Main and Video hard drives)
"Hi,
Having similar problems in that I cannot now write to DV tape.
Since a fresh install of XP Pro 2 months ago, I have been experimenting with VCD creation. (Fine for tv broadcasts etc, not good enough for hand-held footage).
For the last two days I have been trying to Export from Timeline: Premier6 and similarly DV Record: Ulead Video Studio 5, with no success. Premier is ok for about 1-15 seconds then records blank while Studio shows first output frame but then records complete blank. (Both programs Capture DV fine from my IEEE1394 card, and previous to XP install, worked for export)
I have not included this on XP thread in case it is just a coincidence but I have noticed that under XP,
1394 Bus Controller is shown
but not
61883 Device or AVC Device
as ME did in Device Manager (and I have read Win 2000 does). Is this a change within XP or could this be the problem?
Any other ideas? I dont think settings in Premier are at fault (i've tried many now!) as Ulead Video Studio 5 has always previously exported fine and now neither will export."

Bob,
My Panasonic Mx300 camcorder works fine with XP Home through Premiere 6. My computer is a Packard Bell Idream with Athlon 1.4 Ghz, and a Pioneer Ao3 DVD writer. I had a great deal of trouble with the computer when I upgraded from ME to XP, but a fresh install seems OK.
I am trying DVD Junior LE to author my DVDs. Have you any knowledge of this software?
Have you tried Vegas Video 3, and have you ever reviewed any of the Vegas editors?

To answer your question the best way I can I'm using MS XP with Video Studio.6. My capture card is a DLINK DFW-500 Capture card with a Sony DCR TRV120 NTSC camcorder. I can capture video to the PC great. My problem is recording back to the DV Camcorder. The screen is grayed out on the DV when recording from the PC.
My Sony GV-D300 and Canon XM1 both OK.
I have a JVC DVM 90U camcorder, AMD 850 MHz processor,384M SDRAM, 2 7200 rpm hard drives. The system drive is WindowsXP (NTSF) and the "40GB video" hard drive is also NTSF. Using an ATI DV Wonder firewire card and Pure Motions's Video Editor I have no problem capturing, editing and re-recording 55 minute videos.
As an aside, I have previously spent many, many hours trying to record small clips back to the camcorder with no luck until I bought the ATI card to replace my original SOYO card. I "know" of other instances where the problem outputing clips to the camcorder was solved by changing the card. The problem and solution were not unique to JVC.

It is important to differentiate between upgrades and clean installs of XP Home or XP Pro in this 'important' exercise.
The upgrade path, may of itself, introduce problems which have nothing at all to do with the camera/firewire card/nle software. Whereas, a clean install will, obviously, start off with a clean sheet and avoid most of those niggling conflicts that usually arise (in my experience) from upgrading.
Also, did the contributor run the MS XPUgrade applet prior to install, since this will positively and clearly identify any incompatabilities before you commence the upgrade process. On conclusion, due warnings are given as to the possible effect of not upgrading the offending hardware/software etc.
I am able to capture and record back to my Sony DCR-TRV890E camera with no problems at all using Win XP. Win XP (home) is all I use for Video editing now since my upgrade. (See seperate posting on my upgrade!)

My DV camcorders, an old Panasonic DS5 and a new DS28, work with XP Home on a Dell 8200 plus DVStorm card.
Well this is interesting.
Camera: Samsung VP-D55 mini DV format.
Premiere 6.1 and several others.
Generic Card with a Ti chip, OHCI compliant and listed in device manager with Microsoft driver installed. This was the first thing I checked and changed to a Dynalink with a Via chip, which is also OHCI compliant. And a new Belkin cable.
XP Pro…………………
I originally had the whole lot working satisfactorily with Windows 2000, on a Pentium 3. Then I decided to upgrade to a Pentium 4, Gigabyte GA-81DXH motherboard and of course XP Pro. Then it all stopped working.
Initially I did an upgrade install of XP, and the system partly worked in so much that I could control the camera, although the capture window was blank. I could capture using a little utility called DVIO which is extremely basic, but it was doing a better job at trying to capture than anything else I tried. Movie Maker was doing about the best job of capturing as it attempted to make a file. But once checked the file was empty, and wouldn’t run. But the file from DVIO would run. So I had some capture capability although extremely limited.
Now after a full install of XP I can’t capture at all. Before my system was making a heroic effort at capture, now it can’t capture at all. So presumably whatever was left over in Win2k during the upgrade install was valiantly trying to work, but after the full install that component was obviously wiped out and has since stopped working altogether. So in effect the full install has done more damage. Although I can still control the camera from within several DV editing programs. Premiere, Movie Maker and several others. But no capture. I’ve got an open case with Microsoft and I’m awaiting a response.
Does Windows Movie Maker work with your setup? That's as basic as editing can get. I use ScenalyserLive to catalogue tapes, and that seems to be bomb-proof in XP (reads and writes tapes). There's a free demo version so it would cost nothing to try it. If both those fail, then I'm stumped, maybe the OHCI card's damaged.
My Panasonic nvds11 works with XP home on pentium 4 with Pyro.
Chris!
I just put a new Dynalink in a PC (w98se) and it would not work. Replaced it with a sigg and all is OK.

I made a post in December saying my Sony VX1000 worked fine with XP and firewire card, it still does. Since then I have been contacted by people with the same camera which does not work. I believe newer units are prone not to be so compatible. The serial number of my unit is 39058, it may be useful to know ser no. of units not working with XP. Have Sony changed something in the firewire connectivity port?

works just fine with the Sony DCR-VX1000 Camcorder.
I copied my Win 2K Pro system that has Directx 8.0 to a new disk.
I then booted the new disk and updated the Win 2k system to Directx to 8.1.
I then tried a movie capture with Adobe Premiere 6.0 and it worked!
So with Win 2k Pro and Directx 8.1 access to the Sony DCR-VX1000 works just fine.
Win XP Pro (with directx 8.1) and the same hardware still does not work!
I am going to my wife's win xp pro pc and install a Pinnacle Systems firewire card and try video capture with
Pinnacle Studio 7 and the Sony DCR-VX1000 camcorder.
I will let you know what happens.
Thanks,
Mike
Mike,
Thanks VERY much for that.
I'm happy to have had my theory (about 8.1 being the cause of the problem) blown out of the water but now don't have any clues where the source of the problem really lies (except that it's within XP, of course) nor its scale, in terms of how easy or difficult it will turn out to be to fix.
Nonetheless your posting is HUGELY useful.
Thanks.
Bob

i'm relieved to see that i'm not crazy...
i just bought a Sony MiniDV camcorder, model DCR-TRV27 and belkin firewire cables. i'm running XP Home on a Compaq 8000z built-to-order machine that came with XP and Pinnacle Studio 7 preinstalled. my machine is a AMD 1700xp+, 1GB DDR ram, 100 GB hard drive, nVidia GeForce 2 64MB video card and no idea what firewire card.
when connecting the camcorder to the computer via the firewire cables, the computer goes through the 'find new hardware' process, and installs the camcorder but stops at something called the "AV/C Subunit". it tries to install a driver for it, but can't find one, stopping the entire installation process.
so i have a working camcorder and firewire card that don't seem to want to talk to one another. i just tried connecting a sony TRV900 and the same thing happens. noone at sony or compaq seem to know what an AV/C Subunit is, let alone where i can find a driver for it. anyone figure out a workaround? i'd really appreciate some help. thanks.
tomuhm,
I don't think your problem is caused by XP.
The problems people are experiencing here tends to be with older camcorders, not new.
I'm pretty sure, too, that lots of people are successfully using the TRV900 under XP.
However, there has been a recent posting pinpointing Belkin cables as being problemmatic:
http://www.dvdoctor.net/cgi-bin/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001581.html
Now, one posting is hardly conclusive of anything but since I doubt the problem is to do with XP or the camcorders, this largely leaves only the cable and the card as candidates, so I'd suggest that you do try a different cable to start off with.

I received an email the other day which may or may not be of help to those of you still unsuccesful in getting your camcorders to work under XP. It is from a JVC camcorder user having problems with XP, but may be applicable to other makes and models.
What I have not yet been able to do is to track down the file that would appear to be the crux of the "solution", DVConnect340, but I have asked for this to be emailed to me (and/or be provided with a url where I can get it from).

i have found a bit of a solution to the problem that windows xp does not see the camcorder when it is connected via firewire port.
1. Download DVConnect340 from somewhere.
2. Try to install it in Win98 emulation mode (it won't work but -> )
3. It extracts the W2K TI drivers to /ProgramFiles/Texas.... folder
4. Turn on the camera (If any camera driver intalled previously,
uninstall it first and then turn off and on the camera)
5. XP detects camera as unknown av/c subunit.
6. Update driver on AV/C subunit.
7. Select manually from the list (you can find it in Sound and Game
controller group as TI / 1394 Camcorder)
7a. If you can't find use have disk button and browse to Texas... dir
and select 1394TIDV.inf
8. Click OK and you can find the recognized and fully working DVL9000 as
1394 DV Camcorder in Sound and Game controllers group.
+1. If update driver window don't accept TI driver with have disk
button: copy 1394TIDV.inf and 1394TIDV.cat to /Windows/Inf dir and copy
DVCAM.sys to /Windows/System32/driver dir and DVIShelp.dll to
/Windows/System32 dir. In this way you have to find the driver here:
/Sound and GAme controllers/TI or Texas... / 1394DV Cam.
ps this works with movie maker but as yet i have not got it working with
adobe prem 6 still trying. the main thing is it is connecting.
[My advice to try to sort out the Premiere problem was to delete Premiere's preferences file - this is the file called,
"PREM60.PRF" in the main Premiere folder. In my case this is in:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere 6.0".]
============================
That's it.
I hope people will report back here and let us know if this helps (assuming they can do better than me in locating the DVConnect340 file.

Everything spot on.
Have Sony TRV20E Digicam - PAL
Was previously using a 3 or 4 year old Dell PC running under Windows 98 with Firewire card which I added last year which is shown in Systems Settings as "Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller". I have been using Videowave Version 4 for editing.
I recently got new, bigger, faster Dell PC running under Windows XP Home Edition.
So this was a new XP installation, not an upgrade.
The new PC came with Firewire card already installed and System Settings shows this one as also "Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller".
I connected the Sony TRV20E and was immediately able to import video with no problem at all.
I had assumed I would have to go to Videowave 5 for XP support ... but transferred my existing Wideowave 4 from previous PC to see what happened. It seems to do everything just like it did under Win 98 ... again no problems so far.
Haven't done much video on the new PC under XP yet ... but certainly looks OK and painless so far.

File appears to be available in link below, no. 17
http://www.cablespace.net/wwwb/CrazyWWWBoard.cgi?db=down
Also links to DVConnect250, halfway down under "Datavision: DV Capture" then look at "When capturing, the video is very distorted".
http://www.datavision.co.uk/support.shtml
It seems that this file is required for most JVC models, Canon MV200, and any other model that is recognised as an NTSC device, and was original supplied with Win98, and may explain why they do not work in XP.
Disclaimer: I have not tried these files, so use at own risk but they appear to be genuine.

NOT WORKING!!
XP will not give me the MS DV Cam driver and nor will it recognize the camcorder. ADS support says the Pyro won't work with the Texas Inst. driver.
I've been scanning lots of forums for a fix. It seems like I need to go back to WIN 98SE where everything worked fine.
Any suggestions?

I already posted my stats, but I have another question. Is the new USB 2.0 standard (480 mbs) as good as, or better than IEEE 1394 in terms of video capture quality? It seems to me that quite a few people are having problems with Win XP Home & Pro in terms of using their IEEE 1394 cards for video capture. At the same time USB 2.0 is coming out and both M$ and Intel are endorsing it……as well, M$ recommends the new Dazzle DV packages which are mainly USB as their ‘Recommended Video Software’.
At any rate, how do the two formats compare in terms of video capture quality?
Thanks,

Go into your windows\inf folder, find the two msdv files ('msdv.inf.1' and 'msdv.pnf.1') and remove the .1 from the filenames. Your camcorder should install fine.

Installation of XP was an upgrade (over the top of a previous version of Windows 2000 - in which video capture worked fine).
When I try to capture the camera controls work but the image is all pixelated (is it thinking it's NTSC?) All the settings are correct (ie set to PAL etc). Cannot play out to tape either.

My suspicion is that the same will be the case on my other XP systems.

Not sure why mine were "disabled". I talk to an engineer at Sony and he was not aware of the problem or the fix either. Maybe it was disabled because it was an OEM version of XP Pro from IBM? Not sure why, but hopefully the word will get out, as there are a lot of people with this problem.

(This is a almost a copypaste from an early post!)
Hi Bob,
I have been searching for a solution to the XP and Sony VX1000 issue. I have XP pro and a VX1000 serial number 429XX. It does NOT work.
Sony acknowledes this, yet Microsoft claims it is supported. I'm using a TI compatible OHCI 1394 card. The 1394 card works fine with other Video devices.
Here is the text I posted to a MS support newsgroup which has a lot of details:
MS Knowledge base Q300459 says that the Sony VX1000 works under XP with a 1394 OHCI card.
The good "beep-beep" connect sound occurs when turning on the camera which is connected to a Texas Instruments OHCI
compliant IEEE-1394 card. The disconnect "beep-boop" sound occurs when turning off the camera.
However I end up with a 61883 class bus device if I select "show hidden devices" in device manager.
No video aware application software will see the camera.
Sony says that this is a known issue, see the following snippet from a email I received from Sony support:
"" Although Microsoft's Windows XP operating system provides native support for most digital video devices,
unfortunately, the updated i.LINK communication standard implemented in Windows XP is not compatible with the
SONY DCR-VX1000 Digital Camcorder. Therefore SONY can not support the digital video import or export of the DCR-
VX1000 camcorder on Windows XP.""
Sony's instructions then go on to say:
"" Unfortunately, we do not have drivers for Windows XP to enable compatibility with the DCR-VX1000. Consequently, to transfer videos to a Computer running
Windows XP you need to use an analog capture card and the A/V interface.""
This is an unacceptable solution to me.
I'm using a OHCI 1394 card with works fine with another firewire video camera. So the hardware is working fine.
It is only the Sony DCR-VX1000 which does not work. I'd just believe it wasn't compatible, but Microsoft's own
knowledebase artical (Q300459) says it is supported.
Any help in this would be great! I think the solution is to get Microsoft to look into it, however I have had no luck yet.

I initially had the msdv.inf.1 problem, but worked that out a while ago, but I'm having terrible problems printing from hard drives to the Canon. I get massive dropouts when trying print to tape, pretty much every time I try. I can't figure it out. Hard drive playback speed isn't an issue, system speed isn't an issue (everything plays back fine to laptop screen), just when I try to go out to the camera, I get intermittent results.
The exact same configuration (software, camera, 1394 pccard) works on an IBM a20p running Win2k.
If anyone has a fix, please let me know!

It's funny what us computer users will put up with! Could you imagine this on a car? Oh, that new high-performance engine model isn't working out for you, here clip this older engine in on the weekends!
I'm in 'the industry', so I understand the issues. It's just humourous what we have to put with sometimes!

Sony TRV120E DVin enabled.

All problems using Video Studio 6 solved, especially dropped frames.
JVC9000 camcorder was dropping frames in 1000's. now only about 15 in first 25 seconds then no more.
Any problems with programmes not running under XP have been solved by me by just reinstalling from original disk except CD creator needed new driver off Web site.
I use a Zif Davis programme 'enditall' to shut down anything not wanted during editing. It seems to work well.
RichInNH,
While being the first to complain about problems that computer users have to put up with - of which there are far, far, too many - your analogy is a bit weak.
What we are talking about in wolff's case isn't the equivalent of a car fresh out of the showroom, but of something rather older that the driver has still not managed to customised successfully.
Oh, and a car, I might add, that really doesn't like being customised - for it is too often the case that top-tier PC builders do things in non-standard ways that restrict the ability for their machines to be sucessfully upgraded.
And I say all this while not denying that the Windows PC standard - which isn't that standard at all - contains many pratfalls even for the most experienced and technically adept users.

No: even with playback to camcorder with a still image (press mainActor DVout pause button) yields drop of frames and sound. Conclusion: for a still image no HD activity, therefore no harddisk problem. I suspect it to be a problem in the 1394 software/hardware, but i'm not sure.
I have not been able to get my dv camcorder to work under XP, but it did under 98 (on a different computer).

the camcorder is NOT identified in My Computer and Device Manager.
The installation of XP was a clean install, on a new portable PC purchased two months ago.
Whilst recognising a Sony DSR30 as being a Sony Recorder/Player XP Pro also seems to see it as an "AV/C Tuner" and install software for such a device which doesn't exist either within XP or online.
Panasonic NV-MX8 PAL
Premiere 6.02
Athlon 1700

All fine, except sometimes won't recognise camera if it is connected and switched on before boot up. Recognises it evey time if switched on during an XP session though, so not a problem in practice.

When I install DVConnect it doesn't copy the .inf file. Tried it in every mode. Could you put the driver files on the web somewhere.

av/c drivers are supplied with units that have a tuner circuit , like jvc dvhs decks.
it appears that xp is confusing the deck capabilities and trying to load the drivers it assumes the box requires.

Hi all,
I thought I'd provide an update.
The Sony VX1000 now works fine under Windows XP.
All you need to do is to install XP Service Pack 1 from Microsoft.
I did so last night and now my NTSC VX1000 is working with an OHCI compliant 1394 card.
Thanks Microsoft! Now I can say I really like XP!
My Panasonic DX100EN works great with XP SP1.
It seems SP1 give a new life to XP. Seems more responsive and faster to send data to the camcorder when scrubbing for example. More testing required.

I have a JVC DR GVL300 digital camcorder. It worked fine with my 600 Ghz computer and Windows ME. I recently purchased an Athalon 2000 Xp with Windows XP Home Addition. The computer came with a firewire card. When I connected my camcorder to the computer via firewire, XP would not recognize the camcorder. I tried the firewire card in every PCI slot available on the computer, and still it would not work. The Device Manager reported the firewire card as working properly, but still XP would not recognize the camcorder. At the suggestion of Bob Crabtree, I downloaded Service Pack 1 from our DSL line at my office, burned it to a CD-R, installed it, and this solved my problem. The first time I downloaded Service Pack 1, I tried to download it on my home computer which took all night over my dial up network, and then something did not go right in the installation process, so it did not work. It did work the second time I downloaded it and installed it off the CD-R. I hope this may help anyone else out there having the problems I was experiencing.
I have a JVC GR DVL 300 digital camcorder that worked fine with my 600 GHz Windows ME computer. I purchased an Athalon 2000 XP with Windows XP Home with a firewire card installed, and when I connected my camcorder XP would not recognize it. I tried moving the firewire card around to all the available PCI slots. The Device Manager reported that the firewire card was functioning propertly. At Bob Crabtree's suggestion, I downloaded Windows Service Pack 1, which I do not think dowloaded properly the first time because I could not get it installed properly. The first download of SP1 that I tried was over my home Dial up network, that took almost all night. When that did not work I downloaded it at my office off our DSL and burned Service Pack 1 to a CDR. I then installed it on my XP computer at home and all has worked well since. I hope this will help anyone else who is experiencing this type of problem.
I have recently discovered that not all Firewire cards work with XP. I had purchased a £35 card which came with cable and basic editing software. The instructions with it came on a CD and were for Win 98 only. Whilst it installed and was recognised correctly, it would not 'see' a camcorder when connected.
In the end, a better (or just more expensive) card was purchased and this worked fine.
* Canon XM-1 Camcorder, Sony DHR-1000 VCR
* PAL
* XP home, upgraded from ME.
* Canopus Raptor-RT
* Premiere 6.02

Might be important that same JVC with the same editing software works perfectly on old machine with W98SE.
Install SP1. It fixed the same problem for my VX 1000.

Hubert,
Take time to read all four pages of this thread.
There are at least two possible solutions to your problem!
The most recent, I have commented about by editing the very first posting in the thread - which is to install the SP1 updater for XP.
The other involved renaming certain files, which might be worth trying first - browsing this thread will be time well spend.

Bob, you are right but the first solution (installing SP1) didn't help.
Second solution - do you mean renaming msdv.inf.1 and .pnf.1? If yes I will do it and come back with an answer.Hubert
[...] renaming certain files, which might be worth trying first - browsing this thread will be time well spend.

Bob, I come back again. I've looked at C:\Windows\inf and found that my msdv files .inf and .pnf does not contain .1, so I've nothing to modify. Is it maybe hidden somehow?

Just bought brand new AMD 2400+ system running a fresh install of Win XP Home.
Plugged in my JVC GR-DVL150 to the Sound Blaster Audigy Firewire connection and nothing happened.
Have tried just about everything but the camera will not get recognised. Nothing appears in Device Manager. There is no hint that anything is connected at all!!!
Firewire port is recognised as OHCI compatible.
Pulling hair out and wishing I still had Win98SE.
Any progress??
Hi folks,
For those with enumeration issues with some Sony model camcorders, here is the official KB article. Simply powering the device off and back on while plugged into the 1394 controller will get you around this.

Some Sony DV Camcorders do not generate bus resets when you plug them into the computer and they are in camera mode.
RESOLUTION
Turn off the camcorder and power on again.

Hi @ all,
does not work for my PC1E
Interesting perpetuum mobile:
LION (Germany) says: It´s seems to be a known Problem with the DV-CAM
SONY says: It´s a known problem with some Cams and Firewire-cards and we wait for a SP from Microsoft
Microsoft says: It´s a problem with some DV-Cams and some firewire card producers.. not ours << BUT WHY DID IT WORK WITH 98SE??!!
ECSUS says 
lease contact your local office of ECS
ECS Germany says: We don´t know Green732 (Even if it is sold through >6 channels with different brands)
I think I will format my HDD and use two OS 98&XP...

I've got Sony PC-120BT , Adaptec Fireconnect 4300 and Windows XP Pro Corp (SP1).
I've used my previous cam, Canon XM-1 (GL-1), with this setup before without any problems.
When I connected my Sony PC-120 I had the the mentioned problem until I renamed the files.
Problem solved, tank you!
i have an athlon system running xp pro, not sure about the firewire card but i have a sony dcr-vx2000e camcorder. firewire card installed no problem, when i plugged the camera in windows found a 61883 class bus device but could not install it, something about device not supported by this platform? i downloaded dv connect and tried that little trick. that seemed to successfully install the camera in the sound and game controllers category as a 1394 dv camcorder. however, premiere 6.0 doesn't seem to recognise its existence.
unfortunately i don't have anything to suggest re how to fix these problems, guess i just wanted to add myself to the obviously increasing number of people experiencing difficulties. i'll keep you posted.

There is an interesting thread here: http://www.dvdoctor.net/cgi-bin/ubb/Forum10/HTML/009827.html
Solving the problem with camcorder recognition was achieved by changing the AGP card!!
Just one more possibility to consider if all else fails.

Premiere 6.5 does not recognize Panasonic NVDV2000
reid1 - posted 18 March 2003 21:44
From a previous posting, I upgraded from ME to XP, eventually got the system up and running, but the problem now is that if I try to capture from my Panasonic DV2000 using matrox device control an error message saying that an error with my 1394 device either it is not connected or is not operating correctly and no device control.
I noticed that if I switch to DV Device control 2.0 then the timecode for the vcr is displayed but no audio or video although the vcr activates. any Ideas?

Unfortunately, no. But I have never been able to get Edition to recognise my NV DV2000!
No problems with any of my Sony Camera`s VX9000/2000 or DHR1000!
Maybe there is some kind of problem with the Panny`s
Anyone else experience probs with the NV DV2000?

I also use a Sony VX2000, before the upgrade both the Panasonic and the Sony worked and I had device control on both of them. The only reason I changed was to convert to NTFS files for larger file sizes. I've tried uninstalling both of the versions of premiere and reinstalling them but still the same.

An update since this last post I unplugged the vcr went into device manager clicked on texas instruments OHCI 1394 Host Controller the selected UNinstall.
Then I chose Action scan for hardware changes.
The hardware wizard then found a TI OHCI 1394 Host Controller for me this was selected
after the wizard found and loaded the driver
I then ran the DVConnect334XP.file from the MVT files under \support\dv1394\winxp directory.
I then connected up my VCR and I now have Device control in both 6.0 and 6.5 premiere with video and audio ,I've done a test capture and eveyting seems to be working, maybe this might help someone else with a similar prob.

i found the link by typing
'61883 device class driver xp' into google.
on a site that was shown a user said that the above problem is due to 61883.sys not being installed , which is part of the above link.
another post states that the following works.
quote:
After spending many hours reading dozens of posts on this and many other sites (thanks to John), plus a reinstall of XP (with SP1), I think I have a working DV camera.
These are the steps I followed:
- copy these files from a Windows 2000 PC to a temp directory on your XP machine:
msdv.inf
msdv.pnf
msdv.sys
steams.sys
msyuv.dll
- copy the first 2 into windows\inf (overwrite the existing files)
- copy the 3 other files into the following directories (in this order or XP will replaced them again):
windows\Driver Cache\i386
windows\system32\dllcache
windows\system32\drivers
- connect and switch on the camera (I have a Canon MV200)
- XP will report finding a new 1394 device and then a new AVC unit, followed by the all ready to use message
- go into Device Manager and check if there is a DV camera under Imaging Devices (probably not)
- Select View Hidden Devices on the View menu
- you should now see these two entries at the top:
61883 class device and AVC sub-unit
- expand the 61883 entry and open the device properties
- click on driver tab and then Update the driver
- choose to install your own driver and select Have Disk on the next screen, point this to the msdv.inf in your Temp folder and let it install (say Yes to the Unsigned Driver warning).
After this the 61883 and AVC entries should disappear and be replaced by a DV Camera and VCR entry under Imaging Devices ! If all went well then the device will be working and you can use Windows Movie Maker ( or your software) to test DV capture.
If the device is there but failed to Start then check the Drivers it has loaded and if it is using signed drivers from XP then you need to repeat the copy steps above then reboot.
I hope that all that will help someone and all I can say is a big thank you to everyone who has posted info on their efforts or I would still be pulling my hair out !
Have posted this on its own. My os xp home has suddenly stopped recognising my trv50. Can't seem to find any reason. Can't even use system restore as a last resort all my restore points have gone.

UPDATE; The problem is definately with XP Pro. Have run as under with exactly the same equipment but with Windows 98 and all works fine. Camera is recognised as "Microsoft Camera and VCR".

I've had this set-up for about two weeks now and its working fine, the FireWire sees the camcorder every time (ok, I've only put in stuff fours times so far, and only in preview mode, but it went in fine) and Studio8 has made its links without trouble.
My camcorder is a Sony DCR- TRV140E digital 8, recording system is PAL, it is a mid 2002 model (the one with DV-in, function permanently disabled by Sony after the EU's rant.
The Firewire card came installed in the PC and is a VIA MP6306.
XP version is Home with Service Pack 1 installed with XP from the cd.
The edit software is Pinnacle's Studio8.
The PC is an Omni-Datasystems Optimovie 5, but with an 80Gb hard drive.
The specs are:
Athlon XP2000+ processor, 80 Gb 7200rpm hard drive, 512Mb DDR memory, sound is on board AC97 and graphics is a nVIDIA GeForce4 MX440 SE 128MB SDR.
If you want to know more about the pc our very oun Bob Crabtree had just had a look at its predecessor when I posted on 04 Dec02 (page 30 at the moment) to see if anyone had any comments to make on it as I was considering one.
Works great with following setup:
* Panasonic NV-DX100
* PAL
* XP Pro
* Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller, built into IBM Lap top
* Microsoft Movie Maker 2; waiting to try with Adobe Premier.

Hi,

OVER TO YOU MICROSOFT TO SORT - YOU DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH XP PRO.
Microsoft has tightened up the tolerances in the Windows XP camcorder drivers, so they are less tolerant of out-of-spec camcorders than Windows 98/ME was. A number of JVC camcorders break under Windows XP which suggests that they're not fully within the required spec's. This is covered in more detail at:
http://www.dvdoctor.net/cgi-bin/ubb/Forum10/HTML/005847.html
In short, it's easy to blame Microsoft here but it may be that it's actually your camcorder's DV/FireWire implementation that's at fault.
Best regards,
------------------
Andy Dean, Pure Motion Ltd, www.puremotion.com
Further to what AndyDean said, JVC is notorious for producing camcorders and DV VCRs that are outside the spec - we've criticised the company repeatedly for this in reviews for a long time.
Microsoft helped out before the arrival of XP with the introduction of DirectX 8.0a and the DV updater.
This sorted out a lot of problems with JVC camcorders ie Microsoft fixed things so that JVC's out-of-spec camcorders would work, but it is VERY likely that yours is a JVC-created problem.
If you've not already done so, I'd STRONGLY suggest that you read this thread thoroughly - starting with my edited first posting on page1 - because various people have come up with workarounds and solutions.
No guarantees that they'll work for you, but it makes sense to look at them.

Finally solved my problem by moving the Audigy card to a different PCI slot. Video capture works fine now.
Hope this solves some other people problems

Panasonic DV Camera May Not Enumerate
Not sure if this one has been detailed in this thread or any other, so here it is:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;810032
This is what it says:
=================
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition
SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), you may experience problems when you try to use your digital video (DV) camera. The Panasonic NV-C5 DV camera may not be enumerated correctly when you plug it into your computer. The camcorder driver is not loaded, but no error messages are reported. You hear the new-device-enumeration sound and you see the new-device bubble, but only the lower drivers in the stack are loaded. Without the top-level camcorder driver, the device does not seem to be discovered by Windows.

FIX: Inconsistent Gap Count Can Cause 1394 Devices to Not Enumerate
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
This article was previously published under Q329256
SYMPTOMS
You may experience either of the following symptoms:
1394 devices do not enumerate when plugged into the 1394 bus.
1394 devices can disappear from the 1394 bus when other 1394 devices are plugged into the 1394 bus.
CAUSE
The 1394 OHCI host controller driver contains a problem that sometimes prevents stable enumeration because it cannot acquire a consistent gap count across all nodes.
RESOLUTION
A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Apply it only to computers that are experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Windows XP service pack that contains this fix.
To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix.

After pushing buttons and plugging and pulling cards the other night for about 2 hours I somehow got XP to recognize the camera and was able to transfer my hour of video to the harddrive using Windows Movie Maker.
Last night, I wanted to transfer another tape, and thinking I remembered the combination to get it to work, tried for about an hour and finally gave up in frustration. Glad to have found this site and will try the potential fixes tonight.
I'm becoming more and more frustrated with this camcorder...my old JVC VHS-C was much nicer than this one. ;(
[This message has been edited by Gunn (edited 09 June 2003).]
Ok, well I installed WindowsXP SP1 and some other critical updates but still no luck. XP won't recognize my camcorder as turned on in any manner. I'll have a tape playing and it plugged in and boot the computer, plug it in while I am logged in, etc....nothing.
I ran the DVConnect, but the instructions say to update the driver of the A/C SubUnit with those in DVconnect... But, I don't get the A/C Subunit in device manager to do the update! So that doesn't work either.
Oh, and I did not have the file msdv.inf even on my computer anywhere to change.
Any other ideas?

Don't know if this is useful or not but I originally had a problem with my Canon MV30 being seen by XP Home. I had a single onboard 1394 firewire port on my PC which used the MS driver. This worked with other kit (HDs) but not the DV camera. I downloaded the various DVconnect routines but this did not help
In desperation I then borrowed a cheap 1394 three port card from my dad which came with a different driver (Texas Instruments). I couldn't believe it when this just simply worked after weeks of frustration with both Premier (6.0) and the noddy Windows video capture program that comes with XP.
I have now captured many many hours of DV without any dropped frames. I have full functionality being able to control the camera functions and batch capture using timecode.
I was really on the point of giving up and believing that my camera was not fully 1394 OHC compliant as the blurb that comes with the DVConnect suggests (Canon and JVC).
The ironic thing is that Premier guide states that capturing DV is simple. They should read this forum!!
Hope this helps - Keith

Its working now, but getting it going was a right pain! At first nothing happened at all when i plugged in my cam. Then i downloaded the msdv files again from here:
http://www.spline.ru/FAQ/msdv.zip
and used them to overwrite the existing ones. This put me to the stage where windows found an unknown subnet a/c thingy.
Special thanks to Bob C for his solution which helped me to get to the next stage of having this recognised as an actual camera that i could use. (I pasted the solution at the bottom of this message for reference (hope you dont mind Bob)). I also found, though, that my cable is a bit dodgy and this made trying to fix it slightly more difficult since there is no way to tell if its the software or cable thats playing up. FOr this reason if you are having problems i'd really recomend trying a different cable too.
Thanks All for your help
Greg Taylor

I received an email the other day which may or may not be of help to those of you still unsuccesful in getting your camcorders to work under XP. It is from a JVC camcorder user having problems with XP, but may be applicable to other makes and models.
What I have not yet been able to do is to track down the file that would appear to be the crux of the "solution", DVConnect340, but I have asked for this to be emailed to me (and/or be provided with a url where I can get it from).

i have found a bit of a solution to the problem that windows xp does not see the camcorder when it is connected via firewire port.
1. Download DVConnect340 from somewhere.
2. Try to install it in Win98 emulation mode (it won't work but -> )
3. It extracts the W2K TI drivers to /ProgramFiles/Texas.... folder
4. Turn on the camera (If any camera driver intalled previously,
uninstall it first and then turn off and on the camera)
5. XP detects camera as unknown av/c subunit.
6. Update driver on AV/C subunit.
7. Select manually from the list (you can find it in Sound and Game
controller group as TI / 1394 Camcorder)
7a. If you can't find use have disk button and browse to Texas... dir
and select 1394TIDV.inf
8. Click OK and you can find the recognized and fully working DVL9000 as
1394 DV Camcorder in Sound and Game controllers group.
+1. If update driver window don't accept TI driver with have disk
button: copy 1394TIDV.inf and 1394TIDV.cat to /Windows/Inf dir and copy
DVCAM.sys to /Windows/System32/driver dir and DVIShelp.dll to
/Windows/System32 dir. In this way you have to find the driver here:
/Sound and GAme controllers/TI or Texas... / 1394DV Cam.
ps this works with movie maker but as yet i have not got it working with
adobe prem 6 still trying. the main thing is it is connecting.
[My advice to try to sort out the Premiere problem was to delete Premiere's preferences file - this is the file called,
"PREM60.PRF" in the main Premiere folder. In my case this is in:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere 6.0".]
============================
That's it.
I hope people will report back here and let us know if this helps (assuming they can do better than me in locating the DVConnect340 file.

FACT
Premiere will not work with TI 1394 device control.
TI 1394 device control only supports a subset of the IEEE 1394 command set.
MS 1394 device control gives full IEEE 1394 support
TI 1394 device control is NOT to be confused with TI 1394 OHIC chipset driver.

I've a Win2000 system that works without problems with this camera. Tried to copy & paste dll,inf and sys files from there but nothing happens.
Any other suggestion ?
Hi all!
I keep getting email from people asking if I got this working.
YES! I did. Just load Service Pack 1 (SP1) for XP from Microsoft and it all works great with XP Pro now.
just upgrade to matrox RTX100 and using XP with sp1 Cameras Canon and JVC GY100e work ok as well as Sony mains machines and pansonic

HELP!!
Camera - Canon MV30I
System - P4 3GHZ,1GB RAM, Windows XP, ATI All In wonder 9700pro (all the bloody gear and wont find camera)
I have the above system and have read many many post's but still can not find an answer.
The camera seemed to install the drivers, the camera seems to have DV input but nothing seems to work. I am new to this and believe once i get it up and running will be a fantastic hobby, howver I am about to pull my hair out with this one. please e-mail or post some advice? amgaust@bigpond.net.au
podesta - you might want to create a new post - I doubt adding to this one this one will get you any help.
Camcorder: Sony DCR-TRV 20E
Firewire: on MOBO-Gigabyte Titan
OS: Windows XP(SP1)Home Running in HyerOS partition.
Pinnacle 7 and Windows Movie Maker
System: P4 2.4, 2X120JB WD Hard Drives, 512MbRAM.
I've had no problems with this setup once I had found out how to get things back on tape. I believe that the speed and smoothness of the system is due to running everything in a partition with no applications, other than those concerned with video, present.
Doesn´t work.
-Sony TRV320E
-PAL
-XP Pro with SP1a installed
-Hauppauge DV Wizard Pro (Firewire)
-Motherboard:ASUS A7V133-C
Video/audio won´t come out of the camera. I can control the camera (play,pause,rewind etc.) but my computer doesn´t receive video/audio from the camera.
I have read this topic and tried just about everything. I have updated every driver and bios.
Next I´m going to try it out with some other computer.
------------------
--Sami--
No joy for me. Here's the low-down:
Canon XL1 (PAL)
MSI K7N2G-LISR mobo with integrated IEEE1394
XP Pro installed from scratch
XP SP1a installed
DirectX 9.0b
When I plug the camera in nothing happens at all. No 'New hardware found' message, nothing! Not even a beep. 
When I look in device manager there are no problem devices. The controller is listed as 'OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller', and the drivers appear fine. I have installed the latest nForce2 system drivers just to be certain, but it says it's using the MS ones anyway. I'm not sure which it should be, but other firewire devices are working through it, so I guess it doesn't matter too much.
If I choose to 'Show hidden devices' then I see the '61883 Class Bus Device' mentioned elsewhere in this thread. There is also the hidden 'AVC Device' listed. There is no entry at all for imaging devices - where I would expect to see the camera appear. 
If I remove the camera the 61883 & AVC devices vanish, so they are clearly related to the connection being made. I can only assume that the camera is being detected as the wrong kind of device, or that the detection does not complete, so it only gets as far as those hidden devices mentioned above. 
Firewire is integrated into the mobo, so there is no concern about PCI slots etc. I also have a firewire hard disk working perfectly on this PC, so I am confident that it isn't a general firewire config problem. I have plugged the camera into the same port as the HDD to eliminate any other factors, but it still won't show up properly.
The camera itself works fine on an old Win2K Pro PC (showing up as 'Microsft DV Camera and VCR') and an XP Pro laptop that hasn't had a service pack installed yet (listed as a 'Canon DV Camera'). So I can assume that the camera & cable must both be fine.
Therefore it seems that the specific combination of this camera with either XP Pro SP1a/DirectX 9.0b or with the K7N2G mobo (or of course both) is the problem. BTW, I mention DirectX as they have released DV fixes through this in the past. Has anyone else been foolish enough to install this latest version?
Finally, I have applied both the XP updates mentioned elsewhere in this thread to fix the 'Gap count' (Q329256) and the 'Device Enumeration' (Q810032). These haven't helped either.
I have spent most of the day trying to find a solution, but none have worked yet. Any other ideas? Does anyone even have the same specific problems? At least we could then commiserate.

P.S.
Any chance of a preview button when posting a message? When they're this long it's handy to check them through first!

I followed , more or less, the procedure that suggests to replace the XP drivers with drivers from Windows 2000.

By the way, the *.PNF file is actually generated during the driver installation.
Hi guys,
I'm having problems with my panasonic NV-GS3 dvcam and my system:-
Athlon 1800+
MSI K7T Turbo 2
512MB SDRAM (2x128mb + 1x256mb apacer pc133 sdram)
Maxtor 80GB ATA100 HDD
Maxtor 40GB ATA100 HDD
Seagate 6.4GB ATA33
Yamaha CRW-F1e Burner
SB Audigy 2 DE (Without the LiveDriveII)
Windows XP Pro with SP1
+Hotfixes Q329256 & Q810032
(ie Panasonic Enumeration fix & Gap Fix)
Directx 9.0b recently installed (8 didn't seem to work with the available fixes, so I went ahead and installed 9.0b anyway.)
The NV-GS3 is connected to my audigy 2 DE firewire port (on the rear of the card)
The 1394 port is listed under device manager as fully operational (OHCI compliant 1394 device)
When the dv-cam is connected (via 6 pin to 4 pin cable), nothing happens.
I have enabled "show hidden devices" in the device manager menu, and even there, there is no "unknown device" listed there.
I'm pulling my hair out with this problem.
Could it be a problem with the audigy 2 firewire port and this particular camera? Or could it be a camcorder problem? Or is it simply an XP SP1 problem? I haven't tried this on win98/se yet as I haven't got access to a win98 based pc. I'm thinking about backing up my files and doing a dual-boot installation of win98 and xp when I get the chance, but right now it's just not an option.
Thanks for taking time to read this! ;-D

Rueben, Dont install W98 on your PC, you will nuke the MBR (master boot record) and XP will be gone.

Thanks, but i already know that.
What i meant was starting from scratch and formatting everything, and creating a dual boot system.
My system works fine with Windows XP. Much more stable than with Win 98SE. DV Capture & playback all work OK.

Finally a solution.
Previously I had a problem that is now solved. On page six I wrote:

Well I couldn´t make it work so I returned the Hauppage card to store and bought the cheapest firewirecard (39 Euro) and now it works.

I haven't read through the whole of this thread and hope I am not repeating something already noted.
I bought Canopus ADVC100 to convert Hi to DV.
It worked OK on my main computer using win98SE, but would not work on my laptop with win XP SR1 (No picture). Laptop was ok with input from sony GD300 DV recorder and from both panasonic and Canon cameras. Canopus said there was no problem with their equipment and win XP but I have just returned from an asignment abroad and find that they have posted a patch (1394filter.zip) on their web site. I downloaded it today and now equipment works fine with win XP on the laptop.
It would seem, therefore, that trouble with XP varies with the source DV signal.Hope this will help readers with Canopus ADVC products who are using win XP.

i have found a bit of a solution to the problem that windows xp does not see the camcorder when it is connected via firewire port.
1. Download DVConnect340 from somewhere.
2. Try to install it in Win98 emulation mode (it won't work but -> )
3. It extracts the W2K TI drivers to /ProgramFiles/Texas.... folder
4. Turn on the camera (If any camera driver intalled previously,
uninstall it first and then turn off and on the camera)
5. XP detects camera as unknown av/c subunit.
6. Update driver on AV/C subunit.
7. Select manually from the list (you can find it in Sound and Game
controller group as TI / 1394 Camcorder)
7a. If you can't find use have disk button and browse to Texas... dir
and select 1394TIDV.inf
8. Click OK and you can find the recognized and fully working DVL9000 as
1394 DV Camcorder in Sound and Game controllers group.
+1. If update driver window don't accept TI driver with have disk
button: copy 1394TIDV.inf and 1394TIDV.cat to /Windows/Inf dir and copy
DVCAM.sys to /Windows/System32/driver dir and DVIShelp.dll to
/Windows/System32 dir. In this way you have to find the driver here:

It has often been suggested, including by myself that the JVC GR-DV2000 would have problems with XP. Well I can now confirm that it is perfectly OK. I have used it with XP Pro both via a firewire connection and S-VHS.
The system is an Asus P4S8X-X, MB and the firewire card is unbranded and purchased from Power Computing Product Code 500-0070.
Hope it helps, Ron.

Hi,
I got DVConnect340. But nothing happens. When I installed the new driver, it seems to be working (the yellow mark disappeared). But I cant capture movies. I have tried Windows Movie Maker 2, Premiere7, Ulead Studio7, ... When I reconnected the camera, the yellow mark appear again. ((
Any1 has opinions?
I would like to by a Pyro 1394 DV. What do you think about it? Maybe it will wokr...?

Only problem, the final DV AVI file has to be converted by DV Gate Assemble to an MPEG 2 file. Taken straight to Click to DVD the DV AVI flie will not convert. Otherwise evrything works fine.
* SONY TRV-22
* NTSC
* Windows XP Pro
* OHCI Compliant FireWire card
* Sonic Foundry Vegas 4
Everything works fine, except for washed-out colors on the captured video (reversible at render time using color correction filters).
I seem to have found a source for Dvconnect 340.
I have absolutely no idea what the language is!

Have you searched the various pages of this thread for people having the same version of Windows and the same camcorder as you and having found a cure?
If not, you should do - I think you may find that the answer to your problem is there.

Hi Bob,
I've had a look through this thread as well as a couple others. I've downloaded DVconnect340 and I get an error message saying "error string not supported OS"(or something like that), but it still installs the drivers in the place you mentioned. But the camera is still not detected. I have a feeling that it could be just the inbuilt firewire port (I've had a few other nigling problems with this notebook) so I've been looking at the option of getting a Firewire cardbus adapter for my PCMCIA slot. Are these any good?

Tried everything that is listed, switched cables, tried another DV camera from different make (it worked perfectly) and then switched back to mine (didn't work), changed PCI slots (no effect), tried my DV camera on a different PC (win 2000) with same firewire and cable (worked great) but on my PC nothing. Changed drivers (as mentioned in a previous page), installed DVconnect340, copied drivers from a functioning win2k PC, installed the windows enumerate patch.
NOTHING WORKS
Help, please, anyone
I am desperate
I am having the same trouble just mentioned. I have not found a workaround and need HELP!
WinXP PRO SP1 and all updates.
JVC GR-DVP3U
MSI K7N2-Delta-ILSR with onboard 1394
XP sees the 1394 just fine as "OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller" When I plug in the I-Link, I just get nothing. Nothing at all.
I used to run this same camera through my old Mobo, an older Abit with a Pyro DV card in the same WinXP Pro SP1 with no problem at all. Flawless with no dropped frames. I upgraded my Mobo, no I'm dead to rights.
I absolutely can't figure out the whole DVconnect workaround. I can't figure out how to extract the driver. Whenever I try to update driver anyway, XP won't let me saying it already has the best driver for the equipment.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

* Capture/Editing/Export video software: WinDV, Premiere 6.0, Windows Movie Maker 2
After reading all inputs, I'm sad to report nothing answers my problem. My Sony VX1000 is recognized, I can capture correctly my footage, but have problems exporting my final film back to the camera.
When using WinDV program, the image exports fine but the sounds fades in and out continouesly on the camera. Have tried exporting through Premiere 6 and WMM2, but then, image & sound fade in and out too.
The sound is 48000Hz, 16-bit from its origin to end.
I've tried recompilling the film, exporting from HDD C, installed latest bios and drivers, changed IEEE1394 cable. My settings are exactly the same as when I exported successufllu under W2K with Pinnacles /Miro DV300.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this annoying problem? Thanks for all inputs.
I don't think will help too much, but I experienced the problem of my camera (Canon XL1) not showing up in Windows XP. I tried everything that was suggested but to no avail. Then I remembered that when I first made my machine (Asus A7N8X Deluxe), I 'installed' the firewire card that came with it, BUT, I didn't connect it to the motherboard! D'oh!!
Two days I'd been fiddling around wondering what the hell it was, and I didn't think about checking the cables.
A quick five second adjustment and wayhay, I'm connected.
Sometimes it's the blindingly obvious that isn't quite so obvious.
Oh, and I'm using Windows XP Pro without any service packs, directX v9.0b with an Athlon 1800+

I have a sharp vl-nz10 and i am also facing the 68834 error. But the problem for me is that i cannot install dvconnect340 because it does not get detected by premier 6.5 (or so i read and experience in winme). So i need the microsoft DV driver to install in winxp...

I have had an incredibly furstrating time trying to load DV onto my PC.
Intermittently the preview pane in the software decides to freeze (Studio or Vegas) and the DV transfer ceases. It can happen anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes into the transfer so I have to watch it constantly.
I suspect it may be a drver problem so I've tried to switch Firewire drivers but I've only got the OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller. Everyone else seems to have the Texas Insruments driver but I've looked high and low to find it and I can't.
I've switched the card around into different PCI slots but no good.
Can anyone advise or post me the TI driver?
Thanks
Thank God I've come across this forum - at least I know I'm not the only person with this problem. Unforunately, I've just went out and purchased a BRAND NEW videocamera because I thought there was a problem with my JVC, and yet I guess the problem was my computer.
To be honest, is there any possible solution to this problem? Not only is my DV Camera not working, but my Dazzle Hollywood Bridge capture device is also not working - though I don't know if the 1394 port works at all. When I plug in my camera, I get nothing. Nothing whatsoever. Same with the Dazzle. I'm praying the firewire works with my iPod (which has yet to arrive), but I'm in need of a solution here. Please, someone, help!!! Here's some specs:
Giga-byte GA-SINXP1394
Pentium 4 3.06Ghz Processor
Windows Xp Professional (Tried with and without SP1)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried the solutions here but have no luck - I can't get the camera to be seen at all (so there are no pop-ups for me to install drivers). Any help is grealy appreacited, sorry if I come off as sounding rude, but I've spent so much money to fix this problem, it's ridiculous!
I have had my new Sony TRV80 a few weeks now but have only now got round to testing it.
originally had a TRV10 that was being shown as Sony DV Device and all worked lovely.
Straight from the box - firewire in and turn on.....Sony DV Device#2.

Sarkless,
I don't think it is a driver issue in the sense you are thinking.
Please look at the very first posting in this thread (on page 1): http://www.dvdoctor.net/cgi-bin/ubb/Forum10/HTML/005935.html
and give us the information about your PC requested there.

Update of original posting:
The following configuration now works following initial failure to recognise the camera in any way:
*Panasonic NV-DX110 supplied with DV In and Out enabled.
* Camcorder broadcast format: PAL
* Version of XP: HOME SP1
* The firewire port is on the mother board (Gigagbyte GA7-NNXP) and connected to the PC rear panel by the cable kit supplied with motherboard which provides a 6 wire and a 4 wire socket.
I was using the 6 wire socket with 5m of 6 wire connecting cable (a manufactured lead from Maplin) and a 6/4 wire adaptor to fit into the camera (also from Maplin). The idea was that I could connect anything to the end of the cable without poking around the back of the PC.
The solution was to fit a shorter (2m) 6/4 cable from Maplin and everything burst into life without a problem. The PC immediately detects the camera, control of camera and downloading of footage work, although I haven't tried writing back to the camera yet.
I am currently only testing using Windows Moviemaker 2 until I decide on a more versatile package.
This is a new installation of retail packaged Windows XP Home edition inc SP1 onto an empty brand new HDD.
I also installed the 2 patches from MS web site mentioned in various places in this thread before I found that the shorter connecting lead worked. I don't know if these patches would have been required anyhow, but I will leave them installed now that things are working.
I hope that this might save someone else some time - Good Luck.

IT'S THE DREADED JVC DVL9000 AGAIN.
I've downloaded DVconnect 340 and it does not load the drivers, only a file 'DVIShelp.dll'.
XP refuses to recognise the camera.
In hardware manager, all that is recognised is Studio DVPlus analogue out.
Has anybody got any bright ideas?

What version of Direct X are you running?
Ideally, it should be V8.0a, with the FireWire updater.
Oh, and by the way, ME is not a version of XP, so your posting is in the wrong place.
If updating Direct X doesn't help, please post a completely new message about your problem, not a comment to this or any other thread.

Useing XP home but works with XP pro
Firewire card is canopus ACEDVio, used EZDV before both OK

My Canon Camcorder MV200iE PAL works fine with XP Pro with SP1 I'm using My DVD as software and the firewire card is OHCI compliant host controller ve it says in the device manager/manufacturer.The driver version is 5.1.2535.0.
Hello everyone,
I am a first time poster to this forum. I discovered this forum while researching a new, and apparently common problem. I am suddenly unable to capture video from my Canopus ADVC-100. I note that other people have had troubles with various kinds of DV cameras, but I think the I am the first to have trouble with the ADVC-100. System specs are:
Asus A7VN8X deluxe MB
512 Meg Corsair RAM
Athlon XP 1800
ATI Radeon 8500 video card
160 GIG SATA hard drive
Onboard IEEE 1394
Windows XP Professional (All service packs)
Last night when I switched on the ADVC-100, my video capture software reported that there was no video capture device. Checking device manager, I noticed that instead of reporting the presence of a capture device, there was a 61883 Class Bus Device. The device initially appeared to be functioning, but after a few seconds the yellow exclamation mark appeared. The error message was "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
Just wondering if anyone else has experience with this hardware combination.
If I remember rightly, a 61883 device is a video capture device of some sorts. If your AV-DV decice was working normally and was shown as this specific device before this problem occured - it would suggest some type of driver conflict.
Have you tried disconecting the device, uninstalling the drivers and then reinstalling the device as per the devices instructions?
This would be my first test. Also, have you checked to see if there are any known issues on the canopus support sites or any driver updates.
Good luck

I've seen there are some post SP1 hotfix intended to solve this problem, but some have to be explicitely requested to Microsoft support. Someone owns them ?
Do you think that we should wait Q3 2004 to have SP2 and hope it'll fix "our" problem ?
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone will provide to me.

(Sorry for duplicated post in upper level of this forum)
Paolo,
Is there any way you can check that the FireWire cable is okay and that the camcorder itself is okay?
Perhaps by using both on a different PC?

I'm very glad to have found this thread. I've tried a lot of the suggested remedies but still can not get my DV-cam recognised by my pc.
Some info on my set up:
- Windows XP Pro
- Athlon AMD 1800
- Soundblaster Audigy card with firewire SB1394
- Geforce 2 MX/MX 400
- Maxtor 4D080H4
- LG DVD-rom DRD8160B
- Lite-on DVD RW LDW-811
- Service Pack SP1 and other updates
- Studio DV 8.3
- Sony TRV33 DV cam
- Sony software: image transfer / image mixer
I've tried: removing my sound card en putting it back in a different slot, installing the DVconnect340 file (is on my Audigy software CD), installing the JLIP software 3.0 (to try to see if I could get the JVC DVX-4 working). I could not rename any dv-files no ".1" files to be found ...
How about those win2000 msdv files: does any one located a download spot for those?
I used to have this set up working with my JVC DVX-4 cam, but when I restarted using my set after some time, it did not work again and has not worked since ...
Help will be appreciated. Anyway, thanks to all of the contributors to this forum for providing insight on these kind of issues.
Canon DM XM1, DV500 card, Windows XP Home edition, Premiere 6.5
Wouldn't work at all at first. Then I got the upgraded Pinnacle driver and it worked but wouldn't show any images on the screen (it did export the image to camera for previewing).
However, Service Pack 1 cured this problem and the whole set up works a charm.
It also works with a Canon MV600 and a Samsung VP 71d camcorder.

One is 1.8 Athlon the other 800Mhz Pentium 3

Thanks Bob for your answer.
Before reading your posting I solved my problem.
And was ........ the cable !!!
But it is not broken I've just tried maybe the mosto obvious thing (:-o)... I swapped the plugs, I put the one I used in the PC in the DV camera and viceversa.
I don' know exactly why, but a good hint should be that I used a 6 to 4 pin adapter on one side (PC and DV have 4 pin plug, but the cable has 6 pin plug on one side).
Has anyone a good explanation for this ? (I've no knowledge about phisycal specifications of IEEE 1394 and maybe I'm neither interested too ;)
Thanks to all,
Paolo
I too have a Panasonic DS15B, and I use XP Pro with SP1, but I cannot get my PC to recognise that there is a capture card on my PC.
My Card( which I returned to Dabs) was a Innovision EX10 Card.
So I was trying to find out more about your card to see whether I might have more success with it? Can you give fuller info on your card?

I have Panasonic mini DV camcorder. Model PV GS500 K. The Studio 3 does not work with my computer with Window XP Pro. The operating software (XP) is new (not the upgraded from lowe version). Everytime I try to connect, it says" the connection could not be established". The same camera is detected by other program such as Window Movie maker. It works with the Movie maker but not with DV-studio.
Sorry to say that XP with SP1 and JVC GR-DVL9000 are NOT working. Had this camera for some time, only just now able to afford a really big hard drive.

Make, model and version of video editing software that works/does not work with XP and your camcorder.
>Windows Moviemaker 1/2 do NOT work, neither does Ulead DVD Moviefactory (either with or without its patch), neither does Adobe Premiere LE. The camera is always correctly recognised correctly, a dialogue box pops up if I connect it while the PC is on inviting me to use Moviemaker to capture from it. In most cases the actual video input does work, if the camera is manually put into play mode, video appears in the preview window. The problem is that the camera control via firewire virtually never works, ie, the first time you enter into capture and press the 'play' button to start preview, the camera MAY start playing, but thereafter does not respond to any further attempts to control it with the edit software's 'tape recorder' buttons. Furthermore, the software hangs, evidently because it never gets the reply it is looking for from the camera.
I've been trying to solve this for a while now and I thought you all might be interested in this snippet from Microsoft's Knowledge base:-
---8<---
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 826377
Digital video camera is not detected correctly
Applies To: WinXP, WinXP PRO
SYMPTOMS
When you connect your digital video (DV) camera to your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer by using an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) 1394 cable, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
The digital video camera is not detected correctly.
Even if the digital video camera is detected correctly and the digital video driver is loaded correctly, you cannot use the Replay and the Stop functions in a digital video program such as Microsoft Windows Movie Maker.
When you try to use Windows Movie Maker with the digital video camera, Windows Movie Maker stops responding (hangs).
This problem is known to occur with early Sharp digital video cameras, such as the Sharp Digital Viewcam VL-FD1 camcorder.
RESOLUTION
A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Only apply it to systems that are experiencing this specific problem. This hotfix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Windows XP service pack that contains this hotfix.
To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the hotfix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
--8<--
The link (not included here) leads to a site where you are invited to pay money to Microsoft to impart the details of this fix to you. Although I don't have the Sharp camera referred to, the article so exactly describes my problem that I'm fuming because they haven't simply made it available as a beta. It would cost (I gather) about £70 to have a Microsoft bod tell me what the fix is, and even then I don't know whether it will fix this or not.
It's worth mentioning that the JVC behaves just as badly with a completely different machine running 98SE - same problem - if replay is started manually with the camera's own controls, the footage usually does appear in the little on-screen window, but the camera will only respond to the first command that is sent down the firewire lead, and cannot be communicated with thereafter.
I would suggest that prospective buyers **AVOID** the GR-DVL9000 and while they are at it, any JVC model until such time as they seem prepared to provide after-market fixes for obviously flawed products.
