Qosmio G30: Sony MV cam doesn't work with IEEE 1394 port

Qosmio G30-117 doesn't support my Sony DCR-IP5E (a micro video cam) through ieee 1394 port. I have tried to use pinnaccle studio 9 and ulead video studio 10, but I couldn't see my cam through these programs.
There is no problem if I install a new win xp media center edition (retail pack) and the drivers from CDTOOLS. But I want to use my factory setup of Qosmio,I don't want to buy a new win xp media center edition.
How can I resolve this problem?
Thanks everybody.

Hi,
I had the same problem with my Sony-Handycam. It is not a problem of the Qosmio but of XP SP2 and the new driver for msdv.sys.
Workaround to bring this driver back to SP1 (please follow instructions strictly):
You need msdv.sys from a SP1. It may be on your computer, if it was installed with SP 1 before.
Otherwise, you have to get it from someone else.
Remove Camera from Device Manager, if it has been shown anytime (look also for hidden devices)
Reboot in secure mode (F8 while starting) and login as admin.
Navigate to \Windows\Driver Cache\i386. Find the file "driver.cab" and open it.
In the cab find "msdv.sys" and expand it to your desktop. The version must be less than 5.3.2600.2180.
(If you installed native XP with SP2, you have to use the file, you got from someone else instead)
Copy the files in this folders, if available:
Windows\system32\drivers
Windows\system32\dllcache
Windows\LastGood\System32\Drivers
(Maybe you want to rename the original files before)
Change to Windows\Driver Cache\i386 an search for sp2.cab.
Rename it to sp2.old and reboot.
Your camera should work now.
If not, change the file avc.sys in the same way. You will find it in sp1.cab or have to get it from someone else.
I solved the problem this way on my last notebook and on my qosmio.
greetings

Which Sony Video Camera's will work with Final Cut

Hi,
I'm getting *Final Cut* and can get +Sony Video Camera's+ at a discount, but like to know which +Sony Video Camera's+ will work with *Final Cut* or should most work without any problems?
Thanks,

You got to do better than that.
Any idea on the TYPE of sony video camera's available to you? They make quite a few.
I'd stay away from anything with a DVD in it... also HDV can be tricky too... but not undoable.

Sony digital camera wouldn't work with macbook after OS 10.4.7 update

I am having problem with the my sony T-1 digital camera, after I plug it into Macbook, it will not show that the camera is being connect at the USB port.( with OS 10.4.7)
The guy at Genius bar told me that there could possibly be some problems with the software and ask me to reinstall the OS X software that came with Macbook. I did. I erased everything and reinstall the whole OS X. Right after that my Macbook was able recognise the digital camera that was plugged into the USB.
However, after I updated my software to 10.4.7. Now it would not recognise the camera at USB port again...
What should I do now, please help. Thank you.

USB and Firewire Zip and Jazz drives exist which work with Mac OS X a lot better than SCSI. I would suggest selling the old SCSI one to someone who can better use it, and get yourself more up to date drives:

Sony HDR FX7 doesn't work with Final Cut 5.1 Help

Hi there.
I'm looking for some help. I"ve purchased the Sony HDR FX 7 today and took a few shots with it. I've connected the camera to my G5 and was tryingt to capture the movies I've recorded. Nothing seems to work.
Can someone please give me some help. I'm lookin for some very basic info on how to connect the camera and how to set it up with FCP. I am going to my one to one lesson but it's only on Friday next week. So I am hoping that I can learn some basics with you folks before I spend 1 week in vain.
Is there a link or some sort of study material on how to properly connect/set up/download and /or capture the video from this camcorder.
I'm really hoping that I could find something useful to get this process going. Right now I'm stuck, I can't capture the video. It tells me something about the timecode is out of range. When I try to capture now it says that the camera is not connected. But I see the video playing.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Z1user Thank you for your reply and I hope you and your wife have fun.
I was supposed to have fun too and the FX7 is my wifes present for my birthday (today) but after I've played with it for a while and ran into all kinds of problems, I have fun no more.
Oh well, here are the details.
I have Final Cut Pro 5.1
The camera is Sony HDR FX7
I've connected it thru Firewire 400 on the back of my G5.
If you look below and see the specs, the G5 should have no promlems capturing video.
While I was capturing the video (I followed all the steps you've recommended me) I could see on the capture screen that here an there a green line would cross the film. You know the type of lines you'd get in the old movie? Yeah, just the same. I've captured all 5 sigments I had on the miniDV and when I tried to play (I went to file-import-file, I've selected the captured clip from my internal HD where the FCP put the files). The file opened in browser. And then it open in preview window of FCP (sorry I'm very new to FCP so I may be using wrong terms). At this point the clip that is 1 minute long would play for 2-4 second and end there. The quality of it was also very, very put (and I filed it at HD 1080i, may be even 24p (not sure about 24p as I have not studied the camera well to know if I need to turn it on or it's on by defalt). So, the quality was really poor. It was the case with all 5 clips I've captured from FX7. All of them 2-4 sec. long and very poor quality.
If anyone is readying this, could you please give me some ideas where to go with this.
Thank you

Firewire 400 camera doesn't work with 800 port on iMac

I have a firewire 400 camera that i'm using for a project and one firewire 800 slot on my iMac (Late 2009).
When I plug the camera in, nothing responds no matter what I do - tried resetting the PRAM and SMC.
Compare this to my older iMac (Late 2007) which has both firewire 800 and 400 ports. I plug it in and it pops up using the underlying Quicktime controller api on either the 800 or 400 port no problem.
So I figured after trying to install a firewire camera library (libdc1394) which I need for my project which didn't work, that it must be a hardware issue, so I took it to the Apple store. The genius at the store booted the OS (Lion) from a firewire drive via 400 to 800 cable (no external power to the f/w drive was used) and then using the spare 400 slot on the hard drive, he plugged (daisy chaining) in my camera and it loaded!
So this suggested 2 things - my OS is corrupt or my card can't read straight from my device but why a hard drive in between would change this is beyond me.
I came home and installed OS X on to an external USB hard drive and loaded up from it - so this is a fresh version of Lion, there should be no software issues.
Plug the camera in to the I/O board of the iMac but load the OS from the external USB hard drive - nothing happens, the profiler doesn't detect anything at all.
On a side note, I installed XP and Ubuntu Linux and they also can't detect it, which further suggests its the device or I/O board when interfacing directly with this camera. I've tried providing the devices with external power, daisy chaining 2 cameras, using a usb hub....nothing works.
Just for good measure, I tried to boot Lion off the external USB on my older iMac and again, it worked no problem, which to me really narrows it down to the hardware.
Can anyone work out this mystery? Driving me nuts!
I feel like perhaps the port is a bit dodgy and when the genius daisy chained it, it worked better, but no idea why.
Someone said I should get a firewire 400 to usb adaptor - I actually can't find any...do they even exist?

Maybe something in Apple's quick assist will hlp

MacBook Air (Early 2014) Camera won't work with Webex

Hi,
I just bought an 13" MacBook Air but unfortunately the built-in camera doesn't work with WebEx. It works on my iMac hat home though (late 2013 model). I've seen some of the discussions here but didn't find a solution yet. Can anybody help and point me in the right direction here?
Thank you!

I don't use WebEx, but one of these ideas may help you get things working:

Casio Camera won't work with SL

My Casio EXZ850 camera doesn’t work with Snow Leopard.
Used it with Windows XP & then with Leopard just fine. When connect to USB ports not recognized by Mac. I checked System Profiler.app & under USB it is not listed. Casio Support is no help. They say it won’t work with anything above OS X 10.4 which is incorrect as I used it with 10.5 for over 1 year with no problems.

I take it that you ahve the IP set to static, or have a MAC address DHCP reservation for the camera, network settings OK.
WHat was the wireless authentication on the old router and what are you using on the new 4200?
Is it possible the camera does not support the encryption used by the 4200, i.e. wpa2-personal?
Have you tried WEP to see if the camera will work then?

Well, you can just count the pins, but I'm sure it's a 4-pin. See this illustration:

Canon mini Disk camera doesn't work if external drive connected

A long story.      Anyway, I have a MacPro Intel Dual Core 266 Ghz with 5 Gbs RAM, 4 internal hard drives HD1~HD4 (HD1 OSX 250 and three 500Gb) and two external HD5 (two partitions~HD5 & Time Machine Backups) and HD6 (1 Tb each).
I've been using a Canon mini DV video camera FV-M10 (Firewire 400) for live video (Skype/iChat) and also for importing video into Final Cut Express, After Effects or iMovie up until a few days ago. Both "live" video and from the recorded mini cassette tape. Then all of a sudden not one of the software recognized my camera anymore. I tried both Firewire 800/400 and USB2 connections using a few different cables. In Skype...(sometimes) it automatically shows the name FV-M10 in the camera slot, but the screen is black. No, I checked if I left the cover on. I checked my Sony WX-5 digital camera and see if that is recognized. Yes, both pics and AVCHD videos are seen using the USB connection.
The problem started like this.
I was downloading a file. Had to work for an hour and when I came back upstairs. I noticed that the screen was frozen.   So, I shut the Mac down. And when I started it again, well nothing happened except for a grey screen. A half~sized cursor was stuck up in the top left. But, my mouse also had a cursor which was movable.
It wouldn't even recognize the OSX Install Disk holding down "C" or "Option". Only starting with "Shift" held down, "Safe Boot" could I use the basics like Mail, Safari, Firefox.   NO sound and no video. Tried a few times as well as cleaned my OSX HD1 hard drive and re-installed from "Safe Boot" mode".   So, I had it sent into Apple Tokyo for repairs.   Apple put in a new board.     Great!      I came it back in two days.   I cleaned the OSX hard drive and re-installed Mac OSX with the up-dates as well and got some of my main backed up stuff Mail, bookmarks, address book etc.   It started fine.     But, when I went to use Skype, iChat, iMovie or Final Cut Express they still couldn't recognize my camera. I had been using the Canon FV M10 camera for a few years with both external hard drives on. There were never any problems until just before I sent it into the shop.
There was only one way to use my camera. Un-Plug the external HD6. Then the camera functions fine. but remember I had been using this camera with both HD's for around two years without any problems.
Notes on symptoms: and what actions I took.
Front connections: FW400 Canon camera. FW800 (Tried connecting HD6)
Rear Connections: USB2 1) MidiMan 2 x2   2) mouse 3) Canon Printer
                               FW400 HD5 FW800 (tried HD6)
With HD6 Connected.
iMovie 11 9.02 : Start iMovie O.K. No camera on.   Turned camera "on" then "No Camera Connected" notice came up.   (did this a few times)   Turned camera off.   Quit iMovie.
2nd start: Camera On.   iMovie freezes.   Spinning Colored beach ball.   I then Force Quit Option-Apple-ESC
iMovie shows (not responding) When I turn off the camera. (not responding) disappears and iMovie is working again. But, "No Camera Connected" shows again. Quit!
Un-Plugged (Ejected) HD6.
When I un-plugged HD6,    (tried both the front and rear connections).   iMovie still on.
"No Camera Connected" I Quit iMovie.
Re-start iMovie: Camera on… Live video and record miniDV tape can both be seen.
Skype: Both live video and mini DV tape recording even plays back over Skype screen.
iChat (same as Skype) O.K.
Since Apple replaced the board 661-3932 Card Video, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT which cost just about $X00.00 (¥XX,000).   I assume that they don't also check all the connections etc. I mean from the connector to the video board.
The call to Apple Tokyo today.
Just talked to Apple (Mac) Tokyo about my computer problem. Seems like they're trying to squeeze their way of more repairs by saying I have a hard drive configuration problem.   But it doesn't seem like that!   I worked with it 2~3 hours today...and here is the basic problem.
I've used the Canon FV M10 mini DV camera with Skype, iChat, iMovie and FCEx for few years (HD6) is over a year old-the most recent add on) with no problem.    With both external 1Tb hard drives. And Apple said that it's a 3-party problem. (different makers etc.) But, it's NOT!     Yes, they put in a new board.   But, I'd say the problem is from the connection (where I plug the cable into the Mac) to the board.
When I connect HD6 (1Tb ext hard drive).   FW 800 (either back or front connection) the video camera doesn't work in Skype, iChat, iMovie, or Final Cut Express.     If I eject and Un-Plug HD6 all of them work fine. The camera "live" or the camera playing back the mini DV tape video.
Wouldn't this be a problem between the connections (front & back) to the new video board? Or does anyone have an answer.   Apple seems to have said, "We can't help you".   Please someone help! thanks

+My mini isn't responding to startup commands like "C" or "D" from the keyboard.+
You'll need a wired usb keyboard for these commands to work -- and the Apple Aluminum keyboard won't work either.
But just about any PC usb keyboard will work. Alt maps to Option and Win-key to CMD.

Camera doesn't work in FaceTime

When Face-timing, my camera doesn't work (I have no image of myself). The box is there, but it is always black (i.e., the person I am face-timing can't see me).
The camera works fine outside of FaceTime.
I just reset the IPod touch and now the camera on the opposite side of the screen works, but not the screen side. Also, the Non Screen side camera tends to freeze.
Thoughts?
IPod Touch iOS 8.1.2
Thanks for any help.

I do not know what you mean by reset. Try the following if you have not done so already:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My ipad front camera doesn't working,cannot take a picture this moment,how to fix this problem?

Try closing the Camera app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
