I am using Sony Handycam DCR-HC2 camcoder and my laptop is sony vaio vgn-nr160e. Before upgrading to windows 7,I was able to capture home made movie with Click to DVD program via i-link cable with vista home.From the time I update to Windows 7, I am unable to capture home movies. Presently I am using windows movie maker 2.6. When I connect my handycam to laptop with i-link, it won't reconize. Please some one guide me, we are planning a 2 week vacation and I am going crazy with this issued ( I am an avg tech guy, not a expt)

Is I-link the same as a Fire wire ? If so you need to install Windows Live Photo Gallery and then it will recognize and import from your Digi-Cam

steam - Yes. I have a different model Sony Handicam - and iLink is the Sony branded name for firewire - aka IEEE 1394.

Have you installed Live Photo Gallery? I know it's odd but the Firewire import feature is a part of photo gallery this time around.

Steam - Actually.. I don't have a firewire port on the Windows 7 computer's motherboard, but yes, I do have WLPG installed. Was just clarifying that iLink = Firewire= IEEE 1394...

I haveWindows 7 RCSony handycamDCR-TRV19Sony iLink cableFull Windows Live package installedand have had similar results.With the Sony cable (verses a 4 pin to 4 pin cable) I do get DV IN on the camera when I connect.But in device manager it does not show up under IEEE or as an Image Device :-(That's as far as I have gotten. Hoping someone can find the little nugget to get this going.

Did anyone get their TRV19 working? We are having trouble too. When plugging in the USB, it's not identified. Sony's site has no drivers for Vista or Win7 that would help.
