HC53e Driver?

[slimmers]

Hi all

I have a DCR-HC53e which ran fine on my laptop running windows XP.

I have now upgraded to a laptop running windows 8 and there is no usb driver that will work on it.

please help?

Hi slimmers, welcome to the Sony Forums

Older mini-DV cameras used USB drivers written for operating systems available when they were released. A few drivers were updated but eventually new OS developments have meant all the old versions are now obsolete.

The best workaround is to use the i-Link connection (DV-out) on the camera with a firewire cable. You'll need a firewire port on your PC; if it doesn't have one they're quite inexpensive and easy to fit.

Cheers

Mick
