The USB streaming driver for the
Camcorder is not available from Sony at this point. Hence it is not possible to
transfer videos using USB interface. You may use i.LINK or A/V interface to
transfer videos from the Camcorder to the Computer which is running on Windows 7 Operating System.
Please follow the steps to transfer video to a computer
using an i.LINK connection (IEEE 1394).
IMPORTANT: Video capture software and a compatible video capture card must
be installed on the computer. Depending on the computer manufacturer, various
video capture cards and software (Adobe Premiere, Roxio Video Wave, Microsoft
Windows Movie Maker, etc.) may be available or already installed on your
computer. If necessary, contact the manufacturer of your computer for further
information.
NOTE: Many Sony VAIO computers are bundled with Sony DVgate Motion or DVgate
Plus software for video capturing. Some VAIO computers also include Click To
DVD software that will allow video capture to the computer hard drive or
directly to a DVD.
- Connect an i.LINK cable (also
known as IEEE 1394) to the i.LINK port on the digital camcorder.

- Connect the other end of the
i.LINK cable to the computer.
NOTE: The computer i.LINK ports and capture cards
may have either 4-pin or 6-pin connections. Sony digital camcorders use i.LINK
ports with 4 pins. If your computer only has a 6-pin i.LINK port, then it will
be necessary to use a 4-pin to 6-pin i.LINK cable.
- Turn on the digital camcorder
by moving the POWER switch to the VTR position.
- Cue the camcorder tape to the
beginning of the video footage.
- Turn on the computer.
- Start the video capture
software on the computer.
- Begin playing the recorded
video in the camcorder.
- Begin importing the video
with the capture software.
It should now be possible to copy the video using
the video capture software if the computer hardware and software are configured
correctly.
