Capturing from SONY DCR-HC-36 to WINDOWS7 PC

[RASMI]

Dear Friends I have an old SONY Handycam DCR-HC36 purchased in 2006.. I have lots of mini DV tapes. Now I m unable to capture video from the handycam to Windows 7 PC.
USB streaming doesnot work
Tried WINDV, but no video device found message comes.
Can any body help ?

How do you connect it? Just using the USB?

I'm pretty sure you need to use the IEEe1394/ Firewire/ DV connection.

"USB streaming" never did work....you must use Firewire.

To copy recordings from a tape,
connect your camcorder to the computer with an
i.LINK cable and use the standard software in
the OS.
