Take the battery out and turn selection switch to camera and then turn it off. Put the battery back in and its working again.
if that doesn't work try
Try smacking the side of the camera relatively hard with the palm of your hand. Eject the tape and reinsert. You may need to do this a couple of times.

I was having the exact same problems, and I read a post on this website somewhere recommending that I just record a few seconds of video on a blank portion of tape and then the camera should start playing video normally again.
I tried it, and IT WORKED!!

Ha this sounds like you may have accidently pressed the AV button, it has special borders and setting within the camera, these are used for title effects and other tricks, just press the button again a couple of time filming and see if it vanishes.

Believe it or not, giving it a bash got it to work. Not too hard, just a few sharp smacks on the side.
It's something in the cassette carrier mechanism.

The record / playback heads probably need cleaning, using a compatible cleaning tape. Failing that, it is either damaged or broken.

First of all, why did you reset it ? Was there an underlying error you were attempting to correct ? Resetting equipment is not just for playing with, you know.
Have you looked up this issue in the manual, or contacted the FAQ section of the Sony website ?

It has possibly a write issue or maybe a bad HDD.
Take it to an Authorised Sony Service Department for service.

Trust me on this one....with tape still in unit and battery removed, smack both sides of unit firmly 3-4 times with the heel of your hand. It works 9 out of 10 times on all Sony cameras. I was quoted $170 to just look at the camera and then a probable $290 to replace the cassette loader mechanism. I told them it wasn't worth it. I checked other Sony blogs addressing the same issue and with out fail smacking the ...cking thing is the only way around it. Apparently it frees up a stuck part. Give it hell.

For the Error: 91:01 in Sony hdr-pj50e, I will suggest to follow the below steps:
·It may be due to flash or battery problem.
·Turn off the camera and then remove the battery.
·Don't put the camera again for about 1 minute.
·Turn the camera on again.

Losing your Handycam software is the best thing that could have happened to you all. It stinks.
Firewire eliminates the need for the crummy camcorder software. Basically, you need to install, or have installed, a Firewire card in your PC, then buy a Firewire cable. Then WinDV software will work perfectly to import video. USB connections, and the USB cable, are ideal for downloading digital still images from cameras. Running footage requires a very large bandwidth, which basically is the throughput from camera to computer. Think of a funnel with a small opening. The small opening is USB. Make the opening 4 times as large and nothing backs up in the funnel. The large opening is Firewire. Anyways, by using a Firewire connection, you can bypass the camcorder software and use "real" video editing software.

As for the video editing software
You can use Sonys movie studio
http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/moviestudiohd
Or
Windows Movie Maker - The best video editing tool for Windows that's free and chances are you already have it installed on your computer as part of XP SP2. Microsoft Movie Maker has all the basic video editing tools plus a good collection of transitions and video effects.
There's an in-built movie titler that lets add you styles to text titles including ticker taps, zoom and even the scroll effect. And if you are feeling lazy, just hit the AutoMovie command to have the entire video produced for you with intervention.
