xp, fire wire no sony video capture

[Ralph]

I posted the undernoted before but did not get any
responses and I am hoping that doing so again will get
someone to help me. I see on the site thst others have
had these problems but have yet to see any solutions.
Sony says that the camera is full compatible with xp but
I cannot get any video capture.
QUOTE:
I have a new DEll 4600, 2.8 computer which came with
windows xp professional but without a IEEE 1394
connection. I installed from my old computer a Texas
Instruments OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 host controller
card. I hace been trying to capture digital video from my
Sony DV camera which is a DCR-PC1 model and have tried to
do a capture using Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere
6.0, as well as other such programs but continually get
the message that"The DV device was not connected, etc."
Adobe Premiere says "tyhe DV device is unavailable for
device control". My system device manager lists the IEEE
as working properly and I have checked all the
connections to and from the camera and cannot see
anything wrong. Can anyone help???

Did you already install XP SP1? There are camcorder fixes in XPSP1 that may
solve this problem.
