GR-D200 capture to Vista

I have a GR-D200 with original software, and drivers. I also have windows Vista.

After hours of trying to get Vista to recognize the camcorder connected via USB, i was able to make it work, somewhat. Movie maker still doesnt recognize it, nor do a bunch of other media players, but some "muvee" program provided by hp does. The problem is, the quality from the camera is horrible. Its grainy, pixelated, and the sound is awful. The quality was great in xp, but all i've got is vista now.

I need a program that will do it better than muvee, because muvee only lets sound record through 25% of the time, which is annoying. Its the only program i've found that will recognize the camera, so i dont have a choice. More importantly, I need a way to fix the horrible quality, which im assuming is just the driver on vista? Is there nothing I can do to make it better?

Oh, and I also tried the included program by PIXELA, but that is also for vista, and will not go to the capture screen (doesnt do anything when I click the option)


help?
