Help : Sony Handcam TRV22E

[Daniel Barton]

Hi, I have recently purchased the above and am struggling to use the DV
aspect of the camera. I have bought a firewire and when I plug it into my PC
and turn the switch to VCR the camera screen says DV IN on it. I try to
download the miniDV recording that I have made via the Ulead video editor
program and it says that its unable to find any attatched DV hardware. How
can I get the recording from my camera to the PC?? Is there some setting i
need to use on the camera.

Thanks, Dan

Have you tried setting your camcorder to iLink control? Page 85 of your
owners manual.

Cheers, Brian

If the firewire card is working properly then it has to be a software
problem. I tried Ulead products and has some problems with it on both the
Sony Trv 25 and Trv 33. I use Pinnacle Studio 8 and it works outstanding on
capturing. I can preview and record and even edit using the software camera
controls and do not even have to touch the camera when recording to the hard
drive. You should eliminate the camera as a problem and concentrate on the
firewire card and software.
If Window recognizes the firewire card then it is most likely the flakey
Ulead software. Also, you did not state it but I am assuming you are using
XP. If not you will not have much luck bringing things together if you are
using 98 or ME or older hardware.
