Anyone know where i can download a Win XP driver for Sony DVcam recorder DSR-40P.

XP detects it as a unknown AV/C device.

this is an old 'problem'
point the drivers at c:\windows\inf\msdv.inf

that should cure it.

there are some dv decks ( dvhs ) which have a tuner in them , which in theory a computer can control , which is where the av/c device gets seen.

somewhere along the lines the id for a av/c appears to have been used for other devices , but , the lookup table still declares such devices as av/c.

then ignore it ..... should work if it detected the firewire part of the connection.
you could always go into hardware settings and disable the av/c device !!!!
