A135 S-4527 wont recognize camcorder over firewire port

The firewire port is identified in Device Manager as 'Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller'. There is also a 1394 Net Adapter under Network Adapters. (Everything working properly in Device manager). I am trying to connect my sony DCR-TRV 250 camcorder usin 4 pin - 4 pin cable to firewire port, but it is not detected. However, this camcorder works well with my desktop where I connect it using 4 pin-6pin cable as desktop has 6 pin connector. I have already tried followings,
1) 3 different 4-4 pin cables.
2) Connecting external firewire DVD writer which is also not recognized by laptop.
3) Vista, XP SP1, SP2.
4) Different camcorder (Canon) with 3-3 pin cable for no luck.
Do I have dead firewire port (But in device manager it is detected and working properly). OR do I need to take any steps to make it work. Somebody Please Help.

Oh, I also formated the hard drive from my MBP. I wrote 0's on the entire drive. I don't mind doing any formating because I have a TimeMachine backup.

  • Sony digital8 camcorder via firewire port, is it digital or analog?

    hi all,
    I was successful to view & record from my Sony digital8 cam via firewire port. I'd like to know, is this connection analog or digital? Has anyone been successful to record, back up and edit their precious home videos on a G4 PowerMac? And how many DVD discs will it take on a full Digital8 cartridge?
    Thanks for your help
    Web dude

    is this connection analog or digital?
    A Firewire port is all digital.
    Has anyone been successful to record, back up and edit their precious home videos on a G4 PowerMac?
    Yes. Before the G5 came out, many people used G4s (and some still do) to edit not only home videos, but commercial television programs as well.
    how many DVD discs will it take on a full Digital8 cartridge?
    A standard DVD-5 (single layer disc) will hold about two hours of DVD-Video ... video AFTER it's been properly compressed to meet the DVD-Video standard.
    However, if you're asking about raw footage (not compressed more than it was recorded), you should be able to get close to 14 minutes of footage per 4.7gb disc. Digital8 uses the DV codec which requires about 13.3gb per hour of footage. If you recorded the tape in SP mode, you should be able to get just over 1 hour of footage per tape.

  • DV8 1090ev - connecting camcorder to firewire port - nothing happens

    I'm trying to capture video to the hard disc by connecting my canon dv20 camcorder to the notebook using the ieee1394 port, but when I switch on the camera, nothing happens. I can't see it in the device manager. I replaced the cable already to no avail.
    Could someone please help?
    many thanks

    I had the same problem w/ my panasonic. This may be too simple but I think the firewire plug in dv8 is too recessed. I tried many times before realizing that it wasn't really plugged in all the way even though it sure seemed like it was.

  • Monitoring full screen HDV over firewire from camcorder

    Hello,
    I am a recent switcher from Windows to Mac. One thing I haven't figured out how to do yet on my Mac is to simply use my MacBook Pro screen to monitor (in full screen) the HDV video that comes off the Firewire cable of my Sony camcorder.
    On Windows XP, I used to use VLC for this. I posted a message a few weeks ago asking for help with this on my camcorder's forum:
    http://www.sonyhdvinfo.com/showthread.php?t=13728
    but haven't gotten any solution yet.
    The thing is that the Mac version of VLC doesn't have the 'Open from Capture Device' feature that the Windows version does, and I haven't been able to figure out any other way with Final Cut or Quicktime on my new Mac to do this.
    Again, I simply want to MONITOR full screen the HDV video that comes off my Sony camcorder's firewire. If I use the logging tool in Final Cut, I only get a small preview window (which I can't seem to get full screen). Same in Quicktime. Of course I can CAPTURE the tape to Final Cut and then playback full screen, but that is a step I'm hoping to avoid.
    Do you Mac folks have any other tricks for doing this?
    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks for all your replies, but I still haven't found a solution for this one:
    @Red Door:
    It looks as you might be right! Thanks for confirming what I've found to be true: this may not be possible on a Mac!
    @Studio X:
    Thanks for this idea. I already do this when I have a HDTV available. But the idea here is that I'd like to be able to use my laptop monitor for this when I'm on the road (and don't have an HDTV, or the HDMI cable, available). As I said, with my Windows laptop and VLC this was a great solution to monitor my HD camera when I'm on the road with just my laptop and camcorder. Its a shame I can't get my gorgeous new MacBook Pro with the beautiful almost-HD resolution monitor to do this!
    @Thomas & Andy:
    Thanks for these recommendations .. they almost worked! I tried both and neither quite did the job. BTV looks like a really old program (last release 2002?). It looked promising, but alas couldn't get it to recognize my HDV camcorder.
    Monitor Magic looked even more promising, as it is a new piece of software specifically made for this purpose. Indeed, it did recognize my HDV camcorder no problem, but alas it still couldn't do the job. First, you can't monitor full screen! (That's my whole point.) Additionally, I didn't get any sound and also the video quality was really poor in the preview window. No way to deinterlace and lots of dropped frames. I got a better preview window out of Final Cut and Quicktime.
    Anyway, thanks for your recommendations but my search continues! (At least until a better version of VLC for Mac comes out!)
    I remain really surprised how hard this is to accomplish on a Mac! Macs have such a good reputation for video/media editing. Regardless, this was pretty tough to get working on my Windows laptop until I discovered VLC.
    Thanks again!

  • Wont recognize GL2

    Ok so my imac broke and I got a new one and ever since then, I cannot upload from my GL2 into FCE. I use the DV NTSC Firewire basic like usual and still wont even let me capture anything. This is getting very frustrating and I have even tried capturing from my mom's sony dv camera and it wont recognize that either. I have tried that camera on multipe capture settings with no success. Someone help me please!!!

    Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After uninstalling Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
    I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.

  • IMovie 11 does not recognize camcorder

    I have a JVC GR-D72U DV recorder. I have been able to import video from this camcorder to my old Pismo Powerbook running iMovie v.3.0.3 and OS 10.4.11 for several years using Firewire. Now I have a 2012 iMac running iMovie 11 v.9.0.4 and OS 10.7.5 and my camcorder is no longer recognized. I have looked all over the support pages for this so please don't send me the following link - it doesn't help me - I've tried everything listed in that document.
    iMovie '11: If iMovie doesn’t recognize your camcorder
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2146
    There has to be a fix for this somewhere. Is Apple not backward compatible with it's software? I have been a loyal Apple supporter since the late '80s and am becoming frustrated with what I have seen in the last couple of years. Sure, I could purchase an expensive movie editor, but I just want to work and edit home videos - I don't need all the bells and whistles of something more. If it worked before it should work now.
    Do I really have to edit video on my Pismo until it dies?

    Settings are shown then (VCR HDV/DV.- HDV and i.link-conv..- OFF), press OK, OK, END.
    Switch camera off. Connect firewire cable to camera & Mac. Switch camera on, in play/edit mode.
    Open i-movie, choose import from camera. On screen below the camera connection is shown.- DV (HDV). Now you can import, automatically or manually.
    This worked perfectly for me. Took me 2 days to find out. Could not find any clear thread explaining what I had to do on the camera and the manual was not clear either.

    I recently upgraded to the newest iTunes version and now my older Ipod is no longer recognized by my computer. iTunes doesnt open, it just gives me an error message in the bottom right corner saying Unknown Device. Ive tried looking for / updating drivers, reseting, everything and nothing works. I tried every USB port on my laptop as well. Running Win XP. Can anyone offer any other suggestions on how i can fix this???
    Thanks

    Its been working perfectly for 4 years until last week. I have the USB/FireWire combo for hooking it up to my computer. It worked with all the older version of iTunes and now that 7.1.1 is on there, it wont recognize it at all. The computer is convinced there are no drivers for the "unknown device" and all searches performed for the missing drivers come up empty. The computer cannot see the iPod as an iPod, and none of this happened until I downloaded the most recent iTunes.

  • So I formatted a brand new hard drive to MAC OS (Journal), I then could save on the hard drive. Not two days later Im back at square one, the program wont recognize the hard drive again.

    So, hard to beleive, but I am having some trouble with Final Cut Pro X.
    This last week I formatted a brand new hard drive to MAC OS (Journal),
    so that I could save on that hard drive.
    Well it went great.
    I saved my project on there and copied a few others over as to free up space on my Laptop.
    Then, not two days later Im back at square one,
    the program wont recognize the hard drive.
    It wont even open the events up off my hard drive,
    as to jog the program into reqcognizing the scratch disk (which worked twice before).
    What happened?
    How do I get the program to re-recongize my newly formatted hard drive?
    Please help!

    The name of the drive, or the name of some folders inside the drive, may fool FCP X into believing it is a camera.
    Also, you should not use the drive for time machine backups.

  • IMovie wont' recognize my Canon Digital Video Camera

    When I hook up my Canon ZR70 MC digital video camera through my firewire port, iMovie doesn't recognize it even after I did the following:
    turned the camera on and off.
    took the tape in and out.
    restarted computer with the camera in.
    After speaking to Canon technical support, they've determined that since 'DV In' was blinking on the camcorder screen, there must be a problem with the firewire cable, the port, or I'd need a firewire update. I'm running OSX 10.4.5.
    Anybody had this problem before? I doubt it's the cable or the port because both are new. And I tried it on multiple computers. Please help.

    sstrickeler,
    First a few questions.
    Has the camera ever worked correctly?
    Are there any other FireWire devices attached to the computer?
    Is the camera running of battery power or A/C?

  • IP over Firewire AND Ethernet  connected cluster?

    Does anyone have any experience with IP over Firewire and Qmaster? What I'm trying to do (for now) is to have a file server connected to a bunch of Firewire HD's, then that connected to two other macs via IP over Firewire, and all that be a cluster.
    The file server is the controller. Or I want it to be at least. Connected to this cluster are two workstations, connected to the file server via Ethernet.
    So it's File Server with several external Firewire HD's connected to it with the video data. Connected to this file server are two macs via IP over Firewire which will be services only nodes. Connected to ALL of this over ethernet are two editing workstations. Qadmin can't seem to see the two mac nodes connected via IP over Firewire.
    The problem is that Qadminstrator can't see the two macs connected to the file server via IP over Firewire. I'm wondering if for some reason data can't go from Ethernet to IP over Firewire and back again.
    Any tips or suggestions? I'm just about out of ideas for now.

    I was also NOT ABLE to use both nodes connected in a MIX of ETHERNET and FIREWIREover IP.
    I WAS able to get a 4 x NODE cluster working using SHAKE & COMPRESSOR/QMASTER using all GbE EThernet - I went out and bought a cheap 8 x PORT ethernet GbE hub and all my problems went away.
    HEre's what I had initially and what I did and it DIDN'T work consistently..:
    Hardware Initially:
    • g5 QUAD and 2 x MBP Dual Core 15's + 1 x MBPDC 17inch.
    • G5 QUAD GBE1 connected to #1 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable
    • G5 QUAD GBE2 connected to #2 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable
    • G5 QUAD FW0 connected to 1 x MBPDC 17 on its FW1 with 6 pin FW cable
    • G5 QUAD is set as CONTROLLER+SERVICES
    • MBPDC's are all SERVICES ONLY.
    • thus 3 x SUBNETS
    SETUP#1- problem symptoms
    • via QMASTERADMIN - G5 CONTROLLER could see MBPDC 17 and ONE of the MBP15;s but not all of them.
    •tries various configs on each FW and EN0 for boths FW and EN paths.. never consistent view..
    • removed some FW disks from FW400 path that were attached to CONTROLLER G5 host ... could then see ALL as a MIX of THERNET and FW. (Same happens using FW800 - although avoided this because of sperious DISK issues wth external FW800 disks on G5 QUAD).
    • created cluster (not a quick cluster)- sent simple long I-FRAME based DV-PAL to smaller DVPAL) codec test to compressor and set the CLUSTER to the QMASTER on I defined.
    • set QMASTER controller sys pref to use ALL NETWORK PATHS and disbaled the AIRPORT subnets on each MACHINE)
    • PROBLEM was only G5(controller+services) and TWO of the services nodes (MBPDC's) were processing - NEVER all three! It didn't seem to matter what IP path was onnected (EN or FW).
    • - all the above was a NO go waster of time. (aggh)
    so..
    HARDWARE SET UP #2 and what worked first time!
    • purchased 1 x GBE Ethernet hub (8xport) w/P/supply and four 1m ethernet cables
    • g5 QUAD and 2 x MBP Dual Core 15's + 1 x MBPDC 17inch.
    • G5 QUAD GBE1 connected to GBE HUB
    • #1 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
    • #2 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
    • #1 x MBPDC 17 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
    • G5 QUAD is set as CONTROLLER+SERVICES
    • MBPDC's are all SERVICES ONLY.
    • thus 1 x SUBNET....!
    WORKS EVERY TIME First time
    • all machines work to render or transcode.
    • for SHAKE RENDERING, each CPU has a process.. so there seems to be as many as (4 x 1)+2 + 2 + 2 rendering processes at any one time.
    • less for COMPRESSOR as one per HOST (4 in my case)
    Also.. in QMASTERADMIN - always:
    • have the SOURCE and TAGET disk volumes|directories ou need MOUNTED (NFS works for me) and
    • set to NEVER COPY.
    • set QMASTER sys prefs/Advanced/"USe NEtwork Interface = EN0 (or whatever one you want to use. 'd imagine that a FW hub would also do the job (IPoFW).... but for me I had all free ETHERNETs NICS so I used them.
    • oh .. enable all your airports NICS.. .. in the above QMASTER wont use this subnet.
    This speeds the WORKFLOW up enormously because the source material does not have to be COPIED to each host (well I think that what it means).
    So the solution in my case was to have ALL the HOSTS on a SINGLE subnet..
    works for me.
    hope that helps

  • ITunes wont recognize blank CDs

    I am all up to date on my updates for both iTunes and my macbook and for some reason when I try to burn a CD through iTunes it wont recognize the blank disc. I have burned discs through iTunes before and have used these particular blank CDs as well. Also when i insert an audio CD it recognizes it just fine. Weird. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I am having the same problems when trying to burn or play burned CDs through iTunes. Even when it looks as though it successfully burned a disc through iTunes, when I attempt to play a burned disc, the disc drive ejects the CD without explanation. And, that's only after it appears to successfully completed the burn process and preceded by anywhere from 3-10 failed burn attempts because it ejects every blank disc while iTunes gets hung up on it's original message "Please insert blank CD" twice and then quits the burn process requiring you to start over with the 3rd, 5th, etc. blank discs. This is the most recent problem in a long line of issues I've experienced with my iMac, which is only 6 months old and I will never purchase a Mac again. Every previous problem since purchasing my iMac posted as a question went without any answer or assistance from Apple and I'm gobsmacked by the lack of service or support.

  • Trouble connecting Canon Vixia HV 40 over Firewire, should I use FW800?

    iMovie won't recognize my Canon Vixia HV40 using my standard firewire 400 port (6-pin). I saw another thread discussing this issue indicating that this may be due to other devices on the firewire chain, so I'll try the direct connection, but it's a nuisance since I store all my digital media on my Firewire drives.
    But my iMac also has a Firewire 800 port (4-pin), that I don't use. Does anyone have a perspective on using the Firewire 800 port?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    As noted in other posts, Canon recommends that the camcorder be the only device connected to the Firewire port, and that it is powered with an adaptor rather than battery. Presumably, these condition are met by having only the camcorder plugged into the firewire 800 port but other devices plugged into the firewire 400 ports (although I did try with them disconnected as well). That takes care of getting the camera recognized, but with iMovie 9, my iMac did not have the resources to pull more than 10 minutes of in full HD video. However, iMovie 6 did import the 1080i HD video in real time - I have not checked to see if there are any differences in the quality of HD video between iMovie 6 and iMovie 9, but my immediate need was to get the movies (game films) onto DVD asap, and iMovie 6 helped me do that.

  • IPod mini not syncing over firewire

    Hello! I have a 4th gen iPod that I sync over firewire. I recently bought a mini for the wife. If I connect over USB, iTunes will recognize and I can sync ok. However, if I try to use the same firewire connection, it will charge, but iTunes does not see the Mini. It would be nice to use one connection for both.
    Any ideas on what to try?

    I've done the too late at night posting thing a time or two myself.
    The mini probably syncs over USB (but I don't remember for sure) so you could try using just the USB cable.
    Best of luck.

  • Using camcorder via firewire as audio source

    I've connected my camcorder via firewire and I want to record audio from it... but I'm stuck. Is it possible? How do I go about it?

    Precisely. The problem is I have to use analog audio path, digital audio over FireWire is not recognized by the sound system. QT does, so does Audion, Skype and Sound Panel doesn't.
