Problem with Sony DCR-HC19E Mini DV Digital Camcorder

Compatibility of Sony DCR-HC19E with Windows Vista

My sony camcorder is not being detected as new hardware on a Windows Vista operated system. I've used it previously on Windows XP and it worked fine. I was able to download footage, edit and burn to dvd. The sony website says that no drivers are required for this model. I've been told that I need a firewire connection. Is this correct? What should I do to solve this problem? Pls help.

Best Solution

a firewire cable works but i have this from sony that might help others with vista as i contacted them direct and they sent me this for vista, http://support.sony-europe.com/dime/downloads/pmb/pmb.aspx?site=odw_en_GB&m=DCR-HC19E.

hope it helps you out

you can connect other firewire devices - to each

other - without even using your computer ;

also , usb can slow down video transfers , if

other processes are going on at the same time ;
