I have a Sony DCR-TRV280 camcorder and the drivers won't download into my computer. It a Vista computer so are the drivers too old? How can i get it to work? I heard that a firewire would work? Does that go straight from the compute usb port to the camcorder.
No, the firewire cable goes from the firewire connection on your camcoder to a firewire port on your computer.
