Question

Every time I connect my camcorder (Canon MD215) to every PC it says: Unknown Device?!!!!!!

I have the right USB but where can I find Drivers? I mean in the manual it says that windows will detect the device and install the drivers itself??!

Can anyone help me .. or give me direct link to the drivers ... ( i mean direct not a site :o :( )

According to the Canon website, the MD215 doesn't have a USB port!  But since it's a MiniDV camcorder you should be capturing the video via firewire, not USB.

If your PC hasn't already got one you'll need to install a firewire card. They're cheap, easy to install and readily available. You'll also need a firewire cable.
