Need driver software or my Sony DCR- HC 52?

Question

I have searched desperately for my CD that installs it but just can't seem to find it. Does anyone know if there is a way to download it? I've already tried Sonys website but it doesn't work, any help?

Thanks!

Driver for what?

If you have a working firewire port on your computer, then connect the DV port on the camcorder to the firewire port on your computer with a firewire cable. Launch MovieMaker, select the firewire port and capture the video. If this does not work, try download/install/use WindDV.

The only thing you might need a driver for is the USB port - but this camcorder does not have one. USB will not allow transfer of the video from the miniDV tape.

If your computer does not have a firewire port, then hopefully the computer has an available expansion slot so you can buy/install a firewire400 port. They are cheap and easy to install.
