MovieMaker 2.1 doesn't see my Sony HVR-HD1000U using OS WINXP Pro, I've checked for patches from Sony and Windows without any luck. I hope the experts have some info, Thank you.

hi,
the fault should be in side the cam, start test from the charger connecting socket, measure the power in the mother board, if any of the fusible resistor or the regulator SMD found faulty, must replace.

hi,
the tape deck mechanism is faulty, the remedy is to change the mechanism. if you can repair it open take out the mechanism, remove the head, eject housing,and the sensors mechanism locking plate etc, then peel out the flexible cable from the mechanism, and change it.

hello, i think the tape tab is jammed if you will need help to: Disassembly,Repair, Maintenance or adjustments and more you can download the factory service manual from the below link:

No Sony camera will work with Win 7 as yet (with USB cable) however Firewire cables do work okay?

win vista and win 7doesn't support usb streaming. the usb driver for this model would not be compatible with your computer's OS. although, you were able to download PMB still this wouldn't work, it's basically an alternative software that you can use with the newer OS. still the device driver would not be installed. and you would get a message that "ilink connection is not detected". the reason you get that is bec the camcorder and the software is intended for use with the dv (ilink or ieee1394) connection. so if your computer has an ieee1394 card and you have a compatible ilink cable,then your good to go,it should be a plug-and-play connection (no drivers required). all you need then would be a video capturing software (like win moviemaker) to transfer videos from tape to PC. hope this helps. thanks :)
