  • Windows 7 and DCR-HC21

    I have a Sony DCR-hC21 camera and laptop computers changed recently. I now run Windows 7 64 bit. I can't download drivers for the PMB software. Is there another way to transfer a movie from the camera to my laptop?

    You cannot use the USB cable because there is no USB streaming of drivers for windows 7. Camcorder came with SW called Picture package. Not compatible with windows 7. PMB on esupport are updates only. Cannot use this. Check if your computer has an IEEE1394 port. If that's the case then you can use an i.link cable, known as a Firewire cable as well. No special SW necessary with this cable. Your computer will automatically use Windows live movie maker to capture video. If the computer lacks the IEEE1394, then you can use the A / V cable supplied with your handycam. Use of the A / V cable you will need to get an external A / V capture card that would receive signals of the handycam and pass them through a USB port on your computer.

  • Using Handycam DCR-TRV38

    Can I use my Sony Handycam DCR-TRV38 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit? Microsoft Compatibility Center tells me that the driver is already installed in Windows 7, but my computer does not recognize the device when I plug in the USB. Sony support says that no files are available for the device. How can I get my computer to recognize my Handycam?

    There are no drivers to connect a Sony Tapebased camcorder to a windows 7 or Windows Vista. For example, Video Streaming of these camcorders with the USB cable is not possible. But here are some Options that you can use.

    Scenario 1) you can use your Sony camcorder with windows 7 with an I.LINK cable. Your computer must have an IEEE1394 Port. The i.link cable connects to the DV to the Port of the camcorder, and it's a 4 pins. Check the computer plug to know howmany pins is the IEEE1394 port on it. If it is 4 points, then you will need a cable 4-4 pin. If it's a 6 pin, then you will need a 4 - 6 pins. Once you have the I.link cable, then simply connect the camcorder to the computer. Use Windows Movie Maker to capture video.

    NOTE: If the computer lacks an IEEEE1394 Port, so don't buy th ecable. So then you can use the A / V cable provided with the camcorder. READ SCENARIO 2

    Scenario 2) you can use your Sony camcorder with windows 7 with an A / V cable. You'll need an outdoor A / V capture device such as a GLARE. The glare comes with capture software that must be installed on the computer. The Dazzle or A / V capture device has RCA connectors to connect the A / V cable for camcorder. The the Dazzle has a tail of pig USB to connect to a USB port on the computer. To capture videos using the software provided with the DAZZLE or A / V capture device.
