I have a problem transfering video from a SONY DSR PD-100P camcorder, the device seems to not be recognized by the computer although it is connected through usb and the device is on, in "dv studio mode". i have tried on windows movie maker and InterVideo WinDVD Creator but the problem persists. i am running windows xp sp2 on a laptop. The device is recognized by the computer and a proper drive is automatically installed, with no error messages. many thanks in advance, please email me if possible <shahalammba@yahoo.com> |

But when I tried to connect JVC GR-D90U, the system cannot find the unit while in Video mode. Altho I was able to successfully transfer still pictures while on DCS mode. |
