Sony HDV Video Capture

[Luma]

Hi, I have a Dell XPS 410 desktop running with Windows XP Service Pack 2. I recently bought a Sony HDV video camera which I want to connect with my system. As per Sony XP SP2 should automatically detect this camera but when I connect the same and go into Device Manager I cannot see my camera anywhere. I think it should recognized atleast in DV mode instead of HDV.

When I searched for solution on Web and Microsoft.com ii came to know that I need to go through several files which I don’t think are available on my system. They are as follows:

Sony D-VHS driver
And the following files...

Windows XP 32-bit versions

Somebody please provide some solution.

I think you should get the drivers on Sony’s website itself. By the way you haven’t mentioned the exact make and model of your Sony camera. I would have provided its drivers download link which would have solved the problem.
