Problem for Sony Handycam DCR-TRV730 Digital-8 Digital Camcorder
XP Pro w /firewire not recognizing Sony DCR-TRV730
My Sony DCR-TRV730 camera is not being rcognized by my computer. I am using XP Pro with firewire.
The firewire card works with another device.
I tried the camcorder on another XP Pro computer with firewire and it also does not recognize the camcorder.
An Email to Sony resulted in that XP should recognize the camcorder and there are no special drivers needed.

- I had not used my camcorder for a while but it was recognized and transferred video just fine about 8 months ago. I tried different firewire cables but XP never recognizes it. My model is the TRV840. I guess the firewire port may have died but that seems strange since it has been sitting in the case the whole time. - perryduAug 06, 2008
- I have the same problem with my camera. I have connected it to my XP Pro desktop computer and also to my laptop with vista business. neither computer sees the camera using the firewire. They connect using USB but that only works for the still camera part of the camera. - GuestAug 03, 2008
- I had to reformate my hard drive and after doing so I have not been able to get my computer to recognize my DRC-TRV730 Digital 8 Camera. It was working fine before I formated the hard drive and everything else is working on my computer except for this.- xrtiamMay 11, 2008

Sony TRV730 video camera
Zonet 4+1 USB and 2+1 firewire PCI card
I had intermittent connection with the camera until updating to SP3 on XP. Windows Movie Maker never made it to the preview window when trying to capture data. No video or audio codecs installed outside what comes with XP or media player 11. I have not yet tried a new firewire cable or my camera on a different PC.- okie_2008

Try a video card that supports current DirectX. Apparently it has an effect even if you capture without previewing the video. (worked for me, anyway).

XP Pro doesn't acknowlege the camera (sony DCR-TRV730) at all. On my home computer the XP installation there sometimes, but rarely recognizes it, but not enough to actually use the connection.
