SONY vidio "bob b" <removebbrazie[ at ]knowledge1.com> 6/3/2007 10:15:01 PM I have an older SONY Handycam digital 8 camera. I am trying to find a way for VISTA Home Premium to see it as a device and play the tape and record to a CD/DVD. I have a USB connection to my computer from the camera. Vista says it has found a new device and then looks for drivers on the WEB. It returns with a message saying none were found. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Bob.

What would it look >like? Note the smaller end goes in the camera. Assuming your camera is so equipped, (most newer digital cameras should be) then you of course need a similar connector on your computer. Newer computers often have them build into the motherboard, some ever have a port on the front panel sometimes hidden behind a little door. If not you can buy an inexpensive card to add to your computer. http://www.divorceinfo.com/images/firewire%20pics%20003.jpg VERY IMPORTANT... for video editing almost all video editing applications in order to control the camera properly MUST have a full 100% compliant IEEE 1394 (firewire) connection. If not then problems can range from not to working at all to skipping, dropped frames either during capture or attempt to send back to the camera and other issues like that. http://standards.ieee.org/micro/1394overview.html
