Hi guys - I'm new to this so please be gentle
I am having nothing but problems transfering mini dv to my pc.
I thought it was meant to be easy
Can anyone help
I have a Sony DCR-PC1E camcorder and I believe the correct firewire cable and card installed within my pc. I am fairly pc literate but I cannot get my head round this problem.
Whenever I try to transfer the data from the camcorder to my pc the end result is that the machines performance is reduced to a crawling pace. It seems completely random if the machine will "See" the camcorder at all. Even if it does any transfer programme that I use (Windows Movie Maker or Studio 12) slow, then die, and I then have the program not responding window.
I've tried updating the drivers, through a third party website as the Sony support pages were painfully inadequate, tried different programs and even tried two different pc's!
I am at the end of my patience to be honest.
Can anyone help or offer some advice PLEASE ??
I'm running Windows XP with 2GB of memory if that's any use
