Hi groundguide and welcome.


Unfortunately, your Handycam is not compatible with Vista or Windows 7. There is no USB driver available.


You have two options: -


1. Buy a USB Video Capture Device and connect the camera with the stereo AV cable originally provided with the camera (Yellow/Red/White plugs). A capture device like this should do the job: -

2. Finalise the DVD and use that in a DVD Recorder or PC DVD drive. Check compatibility with the 8cm discs.


I keep an old PC running XP for the purpose of connecting legacy products.
