Playing the recorded dvd on your computer may be simpler , because your camera does not have a firewire connection for editing .

Anonymous Aug 25, 2007

if no hardware or operating system changes

were made - since you were last able to edit -

check with sony for updated drivers for your

camera ( store in separate folder ) ;

delete present corrupted drivers and restart -

xp will reload the correct drivers ( if can ' t

find ? enter : folder with updated drivers

from sony ) ;

How do i connect my sony dcr pc2e to a computer to download video

This is probably going to be a camera driver issue. Look for the updated drivers for that camera to your operating system. Make sure also to have the correct firewire driver which is usually on the sound card. Check soundcard drivers as well if your port is on it.

I have sony trv33 and windows 7 using firewire 1394 port and cable computer does not recognise camcorder when turned on

Hi,
Your camera will not be recognized when you connect it via firewire. To transfer the video from your camera to your computer you will need a video editing program that is able to capture video from camcorders connected via firewire.
You can try Windows Movie Maker for Windows 7. Alternatively your can search through the internet to find a more advanced video editing software.

Regards,
nicolasiac

Go to manufacture's website. Find the download or support tab. Then look for the very latest drivers for your camera. Then download onto pc, double-click to extract and install the driver, then restart pc, Then turn on camera first, then start any programs you are using, then finally connect with usb/i-link/HD cable.

When pc doesn't recognize a device, it is due to the driver.

Filming transfer

Several steps are involved. You will need a firewire or USB cord to connect your camera to your computer. You will need a video capture application on your PC. Macs come with this program, I-Movie. Once captured, the movies can be edited. Your PC will need a combination drive to burn a DVD from the captured material. An easier way: Take your camera output and feed it directly into a DVD recorder. No editing, but it is a one-step process. I use both methods.
