Q. I bought a 5 pin to USB cable from Best Buy($28 bucks Zow!) and hooked it up. I found that Sony has some driver for this OLDER camcorder but no drivers for Vista. Where do I start? I'd like to load them onto Windows Movie Maker or something better if you have suggestions. I am at a dead end right now.
A. The Sony DCR-TRV330 is a Digital 8 tape based camcorder. You know this. You have just learned that the USB driver for transferring low-quality USB streaming video is no longer supported.
To import high quality DV-format you need to have a firewire port on your computer... and you will need to get a firewire cable to connect that firewire port to the camcorder's DV port. Transferring high quality DV format video will not happen over USB.
The USB connection is used only for transferring stills from the flash memory card.
USB-firewire adapter/converter/hub/cable things won't work.
If your computer does not have a firewire port, hopefully it has an available expansion slot so you can add one.
The camcorder's DV port is a 4-pin firewire connector. The computer's firewire/1394 connector can be either 4-pin, 6-pin or 9-pin firewire - so we don't know which cable to tell you to get.
In this context, Firewire, IEEE1394, i.LINK and DV are all the same thing - and they are not USB.
Link to your camcorder's manual:

refer to page 151 for the location of the DV/i.LINK port. Everything works fine when you use the correct cable and ports. When the camcorder is connected with a firewire cable to the computer's firewire port, launch MovieMaker and "Capture" the video. Sometimes MovieMaker burps - try WinDV... I've seen it import when MovieMaker could not.
This is a cool camcorder. LANC port for wired remote, stereo Mic jack for external mic connection, headphone jack to monitor what's being recorded, NightShot infrared LED emitter for zero light capture... I did not read too carefully - I could not find any manual audio gain control...

Hi8 Tapes for use with Digital 8 Camcorder?
Q. I have a digital 8 Camcorder, but would like to get more tapes for it. I have seen some auctions on ebay from people that have HI 8 tapes. Will these work in my digital 8 camera or do i need to get digital 8 tapes? My goal is to take the video, put it on my computer, edit it, and eventually make into a dvd and/or post to youtube.
Any help would be great. thanks

A. Yeah the regular 8 tapes will work in your camera but the digital 8 tapes will be higher quality.
You should be able to easily import your tapes into your computer with a firewire cable. Another option is to use a tape to DVD service like StashSpace.Com. You just send them your tapes and they digitize them for you. They can host them online for you to watch, edit, and share or send the files back to you on portable hard drive or DVD.
