Hello guys, i would like a little help, i have some digital8 tapes and a sony digital8 camcorder and i would like to transfer those tapes to my pc, but i'm not able to do it. I connect my camera to my pc via firewire cable, i used several programs for capture but none was able to recognise my camera. any help or ideas on what to do? i'm using windows 7 32bits.

thanks in advance.

It sounds like Windows 7 isn't seeing your attached video camera, therefore your capture program aren't seeing it. You may need to find a driver for it.
