I have windows 7 and am trying to get footage off a sony digital8 dcr-trv340 for editing. When i plug the cam two out off the three drivers work but it looks like the video driver isn't working. ive tried looking for drivers online but most arnt for windows . i know theres got to be a way to get it to work it use to on my old system. I dont know if it makes a diffrence but im using the DC input on the back not the DV in/out slot on the side. if someone coud give me a few ideas of what to do i would be greatful. and ive already looked into getting xp mode for windows 7 but doesnt work with home edition..

dc input is for the battery charger line. dv out is the way to transfer video. use a firewire connection and windv to capture the video.

WinDV works fine under Win7. I even capture live DV streams as a background task.

Yeah im dumb.. i had the charger in when i wrote the first post and im not using the DC input. just looked at wrong chord.

you still need to use the dv port and firewire, not usb that is for still pictures and low quality streaming only.
