(sorry, i'm a n00b)

i seem to have the identical problem (new dcr-pc1 dv cam, xp with sp2,
can't get cam to register via 1394, going insane).

are you saying that the solution is to overwrite certain sp2
files/drivers with the respective sp1 files?

Yes Rob,
AKA, the post above yours from me.
And I haven't a clue as to what's going on with the server! Parsing
text, duplicate postings all around. What a mess!
Best,
Treeman

[rob mafia]

sweet, thanks.

i'll give this a try later tonight, and post an update... which will
probably be another question about something i missed, can't find, etc.
ha.

but it's nice to know that i wasn't alone with this problem, and that a
solution exists.

again, thanks for the info/help.

any idea where i can find these sp1 files:


enum1394.sys is in C:\windows\system32\drivers

MSDV.sys is in windows\system32\Drivers & \system32\dllcache

i found the other 4, but don't see these listed for download
anywhere...

thanks for the help, but it was to no avail.

i can't seem to overwrite anything - the files automatically revert back
to the sp2 type. even with the sp2.cab renamed and in safe mode.

any ideas? should i just switch from xp home w/sp2 to xp pro with no
service packs?

The fix from MS on my site does exactly what you are trying to do manualy,
so if the fix didn't work, I doubt doing it manually will, but it's worth
trying and seeing the result

you're referring to "windowsxp-kb893008-x86-enu-" right?

if so, yeah, doesn't seem to be working for me. now i'm just angry.
ha.

[rob mafia]

hmm...

this should work on a comp with xp pro (old version with no service
packs), right?

i moved everything (card/cam/programs) to my roomie's comp, and it
wouldn't register there, either.

could the card be defective, and still show up in the device manager as
working properly?

Should do, so card could be at fault, maybe cable, firewire port on
camcorder, see these pages as well.
http://www.myvideoproblems.co.uk/ProblemPages/CannotCapture.htm
and optimising my pc for video capture.

yeah, same conclusion i came to. i know the cable and camcorder are
working, i'm thinking the card/firewire ports on card are defective.

i'm hoping i can make it to the computer store before it closes to test
the card/get a new one.

****ing hell, i hate this stupid ****ing camera/card/xp/everything.

new card. same problem. cam/cable work everywhere but in my
apartment. i doubt anyone reads this/gives a ****, but i'll probably
be shooting the cam tomorrow with a .308 pss. **** this *******ized
piece of ****.

holy hell. i had no idea so many people had the same problem (just read
3543253754 threads about the same thing). i guess i'll just sell the
cam and get a newer one (panasonic, this time), and see if it's still a
fubar'd situation.

thanks for all the advice.

Well just so you know, Sopny appear to be using odd firmaware in some of
their cams, the HC42 is well documented to not be working with Macs, some
Panasonic models have a problem with SP2 due to another problem, but only
PAL models.
Perhaps mail me off list with all the details of the cam and pc and all the
things you have done to try to solve the problem, and as much background
info as you can, as in if it did work at one stage, etc etc...
