Sony and Vista seem to have a few problems, reading through the boards I have been unable to learn why. My DCR trv238E simply refuses to be recognised by Vista, Ilink, Firewire, nothing works, the Sony drivers offered are not working either. Any suggestions, or do I look for a new camcorder ?
Mabee you need to look at the specifications for your digital camcorder before you buy it. Try using a site like Megacameras.com for Digital Camera reviews or DPReview.com for side by side comparisons Read it thourougly and make sure that that camcorder's software is compatible with Vista. Also there are some universal software that could work for you if you google for it. Again just make sure its vista compatible.
