Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working
I'm using a Grass Valley (Canopus) ADVC video capture device with the
supplied cable. I was plugging in the ADVC to the top firewire port and would get a "ping" sound. Last week Adobe Premiere wouldn't recognize the ADVC. When I unplug and plug back in no "ping" sound. I plugged the ADVC into my laptop with that same cable and the laptop recognized the ADVC fine. How can I remove and reinstall drivers or files associated with the 1394 Host and XP? Darrell "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: A 4pin to 4pin 1394 cable isn't powered like a 6pin one. If you're using a notebook and only have access to 4pin (either end) then ensure you have the camcorder using A/C power, which should be enough to keep the connection going. If you are on a desktop, use the 6pin (PC end) to 4pin (camcorder end) and you should get a good connection. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "vibhub" wrote in message ... I have Sony DCR-TRV18E Digital Video Camera. When I try to import the video using a 4-pin IEEE1394 cable on Windows Vista using Microsoft Movie Maker, I get the message that my camera is not connected to the laptop. Is there any driver that needs to be installed or could there be a problem in the cable itself? Vibhu -- vibhub |

Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working
I have the exact same problem with Vista Ultimate 64. I'm going back to XP. The only Microsoft OPERATING SYSTEM I've ever run. I stared with Windows 3 Nightmare Windows 95 was an improvement but crashed, Windows 98 Train wreck, 2000 much better but 6 month drive rebuilds were required. Windows XP worked well. What happened? Shame on you Tisk Tisk shame on you Microsoft i feel like I'm running Window 3.0 again. -- sharkbyte |

Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working
Hello All, GREAT NEWS! I believe I have the same problem but have an answer - keep your fingers crossed. I actually registered just so I could post this reply as I know how you all feel. I run a production company and have a new Avid edit suite but couldn't get my cameras to work via the 1394 - they weren't being detected though everything seemed to be working. Had a lot of work to do so this was a major problem. I knew it was isolated to the computer and Vista 64 as I have a laptop running Vista 32 which picked up Cameras and devices without a problem. Anyway I went through this forum without luck but stumbled upon the answer on Microsoft. So here it is and hope it works for you as it did me. Follow it very carefully and perhaps create a restore point just in case you get it wrong. To work around this problem, for non-compliant IEEE 1394a devices, configure Windows Vista to enumerate inactive IEEE 1394 devices. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start Collapse this imageExpand this image Start button , type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list. Collapse this imageExpand this image User Account Control permission If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue. 2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{6BDD1FC1-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\ControllerInstance In this path, ControllerInstance represents the controller instance number. For example, this number may be 0000. 3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value. 4. In the New Value #1 box, type EnumerateInactiveLink, and then press ENTER. 5. Right-click EnumerateInactiveLink, and then click Modify. 6. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK. 7. Exit Registry Editor. Let me know if it works, Tom -- AtomicProductionsNZ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AtomicProductionsNZ's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/117764.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...ces/806837.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working
Solution for IEEE 1394 in Vista Ultimate. I searched for files named 1394 on my Windows XP workstation and found the drivers. Copied the drivers and placed them into the Vista Ultimate 64 bit workstation c:\windows\system32\drivers folder. Then in the device manager I removed the device that Vista had assigned the wrong 1394 driver to and restarted and the system. After Vista loaded the external IEEE 1394 device was seen and Vista loaded a driver for it. Thankfully it was the right one. Now the drive acts just like it did on my Windows XP system. -- sharkbyte |

Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working
After wasting much time browsing the many forums, trying the proposed fixes and buying a new firewire cable I have just discovered why my Sony TRV80E was not being recognised by Windows XP, SP3. In a flash of inspiration I had a look at the IEE1394 connector on the camera. To my surprise I noticed that one of the pins was bent out of position. I carefully eased it back using a very fine watchmakers screwdriver and, lo and behold, it works again. Having tried a friends Sony camcorder and found that that worked OK I was starting to believe that the interface electronics on the camera had been damaged by hot plugging. To all those people who think they've fried the electronics, look at the connector! The bent pin is fairly obvious although I had to use a magnifying glass to see it clearly. Carefully ease it back into place but be careful. Good luck! -- brainstrain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brainstrain's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/126216.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...ces/806837.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Firewire (IEEE 1394) not working
I like many, was pulling my hair out on this one. I agree with the earlier post as far as Microsoft not wanting to support firewire, yet most DV Cameras come with firewire. I tried reinstalling Premiere, uninstalled the host controller from the control panel numerous times, tried to update the driver etc, etc......... The only fix that worked for me is: 1) pull the firewire card out of the computer 2) restart and uninstall the IEEE 1394 Host Controller in the control panel 3) shut down, reinstall the firewire card 4) restart and Vista will locate the new hardware and install the appropriate driver. Ta Dah! It works. Only problem is, if you shut down your computer, go back to step #1. What a pain in the A__! I'm shopping for a Mac now! -- reedvideo |
