XP does'nt recognise Handycam

Mostly with these cameras you do not need driver (unless you use a USB cable) but like me you have firewire okay? so you should unplug your camera, turn your PC off for a min or two, plug camera in THEN yes THEN put your PC on, and the Win 7 will see your camera and loads setting it needs auto ok.

I have a sony DCR-HC26E i dnt have the driver i cant transfer my video on my pc by dv can you help me were i can download the driver for free

Click Sony Support and download required driver and software according to Windows running in your computer.

Hi All,

This problem is sorted out, upon checking the handycam the USB streaming was not enabled, the same was enabled and my computer could recognise the device.

Thanx

Check your battery is fully charge then reset it to factory setting..

hope this may help;

you will have to use the supplied software or just about any other video editing software to download the video to your pc. here is a link to a retail outlet for sony software.

Hello Laura. You cannot transfer video from this camcorder with a USB cable. You will need a DV cable. This cable did not come with your camcorder. You will also need software for the transfer process. Windows Movie Maker can do this although I've never used it. I used a product called Scenalyzer. There is a free demo version at www.scenealyzer.com, but it will leave a watermark on your video if you don't pay for it. You might try Windows Movie Maker first if you already have it.

Once you have captured the video on your computer, you cannot just burn it to a DVD as a file if you want to play it in DVD players. This too requires special software.

I'm travelling for work right now, but when I get home in a few days I can be of more help. If you want to keep going on this, get a DV cable and see if you can capture the video with Windows Movie Maker and let me know.

Problem: with Sony Handycam.......... DCR-HC26

After installing the disc that came with the camera and the wizard, and some other programs, Picas, my computer does not find the camera . Says I need a CDR driver also. Can I find one to download free someplace?
Thanks.
