I am having a problem connecting my camcorder to my computer. The computer sees device and then the device disappears. I am connecting using the iLink to firewire port. The camcorder displays DVin in the viewer so it is seeing the computer. Is there a solution to this problem?

Did you install any driver software that came with the camera? I can't remember what Sony is packing with their camcorders now. When you say it disappears what exactly do you mean by that, where does it disappear from? Try and change that DVin to DVout in one of the menu settings to see if that makes a difference. Are you using a desktop computer or laptop? If it is a laptop is it a Sony laptop?

Same problem I have but my computer doesnt recognise it, the camera says DVin on it though.
