Video Trouble

[Matthew_Gibson]

I'm in need of some help. I'm trying to put my video onto my computer, It goes on okay, take its time. When it's final on and i can edit it (movie maker) there is No sound what so ever, and sometime it cuts bits out, speeds it up. and iv done nothing to it. The tape has only been used once before, and it was fine there. Could it be that its via USB? Every other time its been via fire wire? I'm really pissed off. As I don't want to waste time re-filming the whole lot. There almost a weeks worth of riding gone into this new video of mine!

All the drivers are on the computer and the lot! Just done seem to like the camera!

Never come across such problems but I think it might be caused by you using USB instead of Firewire.

After all cameras record in DV so logically you will want to use the DV output and not USB. I don't know how the electronics in a camera work but if you're playing video through USB, it must convert it to a different format and that might be where the problem lies.

i found that if you dont have the drivers for the camera installed, the clips will play but will do crazy things.

I just got my own computer back, which my dad has been sorting out. He's put a new fire wire card in, put all the drivers on. Good? NO! Plughged the camera in, turned it on. ......Nothing! doesnt even come up with "new device has been found" or what ever it says. USB works fine, but the firewire doesn't. Downloaded the newest drivers off the sony website, still nothing! I haven't got the original driver CD. Can anyone please help me out??
