Re: 1394 Sony not recognized

Start regedit (Start Menu/Run.../regedit <enter>)

>From the Edit menu, choose Find... and look for "avc\ven_80046" (no quotes,
default dialog settings). regedit will find the first occurence. F3 will
go to the next one each time you press it. Keep going until the entry that
is found is in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D
0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\nnnn

nnnn will be a 4-digit number. Make sure you are looking at the
CurrentControlSet (not, e.g., ControlSet001). Most likely, the highlighted
part of the search will be "MatchingDeviceID" in the righthand window pane.

Now left-click once in the lefthand pane in a whitespace region (i.e., don't
click on an entry in the list). The highlight will now be one of the
4-digit numbers listed.

Right-click on it and choose Export. Choose a name and location for the
..reg file and select "Selected branch".

Close regedit.

Locate the .reg file and right-click on it once. The context menu will
included Merge and Edit. Choose Edit - this will open the file in Notepad
so you can see the contents. You should have something like:

Close Notepad. Copy the .reg file to your other system, right-click on it
and select Merge.

"Are you sure you want to add the information in xxxx.reg to the
registry?" - Answer Yes.

If successful:

"Information in xxxx.reg has been successfully entered into the registry." -
Click OK.

Now try to connect the device to the system and see if it works.

If it doesn't, post details of the IEEE-1394 ports in both systems and the
OS versions (service packs etc etc). Also, what model camcorder do you
have? I have three different Sony devices, and they all work.

John.
