Computer won't download video off handycam?

Question

I could download videos off my Sony Handycam, but today it's not working!! And I have no clue why! It says I.Link not connected or something, but I'm doing everything like last time.

Answer 1

Assuming it's the same computer and the same camera you've used before, but it used to work fine until now, it either means:

a. your firewire/i.Link cable is damaged

b. your firewire port (on the computer), or the port on the camera is damaged

c. you might need to restart your computer
