Some people falsely claim that "VISTA DOES NOT WORK WELL WITH FIREWIRE" That is completely wrong. For vista they offered PICTURE MOTION BROWSER which also have easy VIDEO Capture utlity with same high quality capture. Sony's PicturePackage for XP does not work on vista. If you want to make directly MPG file you may use ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO 8 or later.Ħ) Do not blame SONY as they already told you which exact cable to use.ħ) Do not blame Vista.

Required codecs are always there in XP and VISTA with windows movie maker.ĥ) No additional software is required, as you can directly capture with Windows Movie Maker in high quality. I get default video with 720x576 with 25 Frames/s in PAL mode.Ĥ) No additional codecs are required to install in pc like others suggested. Firewire cable does not transfer RF video input. When installed XP or Vista will install driver automatically just confirm that "IEEE 1394 bus host controller" entry is shown in Device manager or not.ģ) No matter you use cheaper or costlier PCI card or cable the quality will always be same coz D8 Handycams directly transfer encoded Video Data in Digital format thru Firewire cable. $1.5 will do)Ģ) Use any cheaper FIREWIRE PCI card with at least one 4pin firewire socket. So these are the final things to remember.ġ) Use only 4pin to 4pin Firewire cable (any cheaper make. But it seems SONY Handycam does not wants itself to connect it to 6pin socket at PCI card end. Now the funny part it, technically there is no difference in 6pin to 4pin Firewire cable as two pins are used for Voltage which is discarded at 4 pin end. Then what in every possible software existed on my system, DV Capture was available, which was found always disabled.
I confirmed by going into Device Manager and found same entry in Imaging Device section. I ran back to market and bought 4PIN TO 4PIN Firewire Cable for $1.5Īt first trial, trust me, it detected "SONY DV Camcorder" and installed drivers automatically.

While reading the PDF manual found on Sony Support site, trust me, I found those golden words "USE ONLY 4PIN TO 4PIN i.Link Cable for Firewire connection." Then I started from scratch, TO DECIDED TO READ MANUAL. Even tried a lot on Internet for the solution but it seems no one knew. I tried everything an expert would do, but got only frustration. It was even showing DV-IN on camera LCD with this 6pin to 4pin cable. I was trying to connect with same cable 4pin at camera end and 6pin on PCI Card, with no luck.
It came with 6pin to 4pin Firewire cable(Sony calls it i.Link). My vista system was not able to detect my Handycam with a very very cheap FIREWIRE PCI Card I bought in local market for only $4, yes four dollars. I had similar problem with my Sony Digital8 (also called HI8 ) handycam.
