Tried everything. Vista will not see this Sony trv730 camcorder. Sony claims driver is already included in Vista Home system. But several cabels have been tried and every service on and off, and Vista just sits there.
I had the same problem but I also needed software to use with the videos, so after I installed Pinnacle Studio 12 the problem was solved. When you click on capture video in the program you are able to control the vcr and record from it. I am not entirely pleased with the video quality but it did work. Hope this helps.

Make sure to Enable USB Streaming option available in Camera Menu. Connect camera with PC and Vista will recognize it.
Correct, update driver of iLink / DV / IEEE1394 fire-wire card / port in computer as there is no apparent reason of no response of Vista.
So camcorder was working fine on XP?
Since Vista is not supporting this camcorder I would suggest an alternate. Hook camcorder with DVD Recorder and burn DVD. Now you can transfer video files in Vista computer and can do desired work.
Well, sitting far away I just can suggest and share these thoughts, rest is your own skills and I hope you will sort it out soon.
I didn't suspected hardware of camcorder and its my mistake. I'm sure this would be problem of no response of Vista (incomplete communication)
ok, try to connect camera with another PC XP or Vista and confirm the iLink connector.

I am using FIREWIRE not USB
TRV730 also has no streaming option on the camera. USB is only for transfering clips and photos from the Memory Stick
from sony web site
"The USB streaming feature is not supported with Windows Vista operating system."
Did that already. Chatted with Sony. Nothing they can do either. Suggested I buy another Vista Machine and try that. Before Microsoft comes out with another half - assed operating system, they should make this one work. Never again will I be ripped off by HP and Microsoft. Vista has given me nothing but heartache and trouble. Tired of being their research engineer and not getting paid for it.
Yes. I also updated Fire wire driver .. says I have the current version. Alesis Firewire audio mixer works perfectly on the port, but the Sony camcorder ... NOTHING! Even tried uninstalling the fire wire in the device manager and reinstalling...NOTHING.
Yes! I have two dvd recorders, one is a Sony with a firewire input. If I hook the camcorder to the recorder it should rec the dv from the camera. But the VISTA should do what Sony claims and not send me chasing my tail in hopes to catch it. Some day I will learn, but not today!
Well being an electronics engineer can have it's advantages. But sometimes I look in the wrong direction. I hooked up the camera to the dvd recorder and you guessed it...NOTHING. Took the cam apart and found the two center pins on the FW jack pushed in and not making connection. I have the parts from another cam and am installing a used jack from a canon zr20. I am pretty confident the prob has been solved. we'll know in about 15 mins.
well i'm stumped no change
