I would run Windows Movie Maker and plug the camera into the computer via the USB cable and see if WMM will see the output. It may not need a driver at all. It can't do any harm trying the simple route as it will only take a few minutes. If that doesn't work, other physical connections will be needed. I have also used an A/V to USB device to record from a VCR but try the above suggestion first. |

| 1301332 | 2012-09-18 22:14:00 | The camera has DV out you say? That should be firewire IEEE 1394, 4 conductor (small square hole that looks squashed in on the top or bottom)? Then all you would need is a $3 usb to firewire adapter cable off trade me. |

| 1301333 | 2012-09-19 10:34:00 | It is as you say, a small square connector that loooks squashed on the bottom. So exactly what cables do I need to get to my computer ?:stare: | IT illiterate old guy (16891) | ||
| 1301334 | 2012-09-19 11:07:00 | Something like this (www.dicksmith.co.nz), but I think there is also a 4 pin cable. So, you may have to find out how many pins are in this dv connection. If its got firewire on it If it looks like this its firewire / 1394 (simplydv.com). Take the cam into whatever shop to see which cable, you should get |

| 1301335 | 2012-09-19 11:41:00 | It is 4 pin on DV cameras www.trademe.co.nz as an example. Sorry it says not for SONY? www.trademe.co.nz Might work. Or as Speedy suggests try taking the camera to a Dick Smith or someone to check if it will work. What sort of computer are we talking about as some have a firewire connector built in or can have one fitted. |
