Sony Camcorder

Will the Roxio software recognize my camcorder on the Vista operating system ? I have not been able to find any drivers for my camcorder from Sony for the Vista system, one web page I read said that most any third party software for vista would be of help to me and being able to download and edit video on the Vista operating system.

I want to get some sort of third party software but with the trouble I've been having trying to get up and running I need to get answers to questions before I spend more money

You could give the EMC9 Trial version a trial run and see if it works for you. You'll want to connect the camera using firewire.

I've got a Sony HDR-HC1E and I didn't need any special drivers for Vista x86 or x64, just plugged in via Firewire (IEEE1394) and Windows Media Import popped up. Related to EMC 9 Deluxe, I can't import video directly with EMC 9 under Vista x64 (so I just use Windows Media Import), but under Vista x86, it works fine.

The simple answer is that all DV cameras should work as long as you have the right port for it on your system. Aside from that I have seen quality issues with certain brands of camcorders but all the Sony ones I have used have been reliable.

I have a Sony mini DV and simply hooked it up with a firewire and was able to load all my video directly into Roxio. I could control the camera rewind, etc with the onscreen controls. I don't think you need software from Sony. My HP digital camera also works with Vista and and I did not load any HP drivers.
