SOURCE: UNABLE TO TRANSFER VIDEO FROM SONY HANDYCAM DCR TRV TO MY LAPTOP
If you want to use the USB cable to connect the Camera to the Computer to transfer the video to the Computer then:
This
Camcorder does not support USB streaming with the VISTA Operating
System. Use an i.LINK cable to transfer the video to the Computer. The
i.LINK port is also called IEEE 1394 or Firewire port. (An i.LINK is a
black D shaped connector with 4 or 6 pins. The type of cable to be used
will depend on the i.LINK port of your Computer. The Sony Camcorder
will have the 4 pin i.LINK cable and if the computer has the 6 pin
i.LINK port, then you may have to use the 4 pin to 6 pin i.LINK Cable).
You can use any video capturing software like Windows Movie Maker to transfer the video from the Computer.
Refer this link for the instruction to transfer the video to the Computer using i.LINK cable.

NOTE:
As the Camcorder does not support USB streaming with Vista, it is not
required to use any Sony Device Driver to transfer the video to the
Computer. You do not require any Drivers or Software from Sony to
transfer the video from the Camcorder to the Computer using the
i.LINK/Firewire interface.
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOURCE: Sony Handycam DCR-HC42 Mini DV not recognized by Windows 7
win vista and win 7doesn't support usb streaming. the usb driver for this model would not be compatible with your computer's OS. although, you were able to download PMB still this wouldn't work, it's basically an alternative software that you can use with the newer OS. still the device driver would not be installed. and you would get a message that "ilink connection is not detected". the reason you get that is bec the camcorder and the software is intended for use with the dv (ilink or ieee1394) connection. so if your computer has an ieee1394 card and you have a compatible ilink cable,then your good to go,it should be a plug-and-play connection (no drivers required). all you need then would be a video capturing software (like win moviemaker) to transfer videos from tape to PC. hope this helps. thanks :)
