Sony will have to provide you with a driver for your specific camera in order to
import video using USB. Check with Sony.

I have a SONY DCR HC30 that connects to my SONY VAIO with a USB 2. I, too,
cannot upload video to Windows Movie Maker. The PC doesn't have a firewire
port, but came with the pre installed VISTA software the seems to require it.

Perhaps I'm naive, but this seems to be a blunder. Isn't VISTA all about
home video and music use? I'm not using anything obscure.

If someone hears of a patch, please let me know ...

Howard,

I don't have a solution to your problem. I too have a sony camera that hooks
to a USB port. Although the Windows XP version of Movie Maker used to detect
the camera, the newer Vista version does not. Sadly, my web camera which I
also used frequently to capture video using Movie Maker also does not work. I
am hopeful that Microsoft will realize this problem and will release a patch.
I have my fingers crossed.

I plugged in my Sony Digital Video Camera through the USB port and Movie
Maker refuses to acknokledge the hook up is there.

I followed the suggestions listed in the Help section, turning my camera on
and making sure it is in play mode etc.

Can anyone help?
