Hello smellymaud - Welcome to the Sony Forums For this camera, considering that you have Windows 7 you may wish to adopt a different approach and pick up a standard USB video capture device as I am aware of a lot of compatibility issues with some of the older models when using a more modern operating system. There may be some loss in video quality but in many circumstances it is difficult to spot and a capture device hooks up to the regular audio and video outputs. Also, they are available for less than £20 online with devices such as this one on Amazon: As with any specific example that I mention, I would always advise you to shop around for the best deal and bear in mind that the device has to specifiy that it is compatible with Windows 7.
Apart from that, depending upon whether you have a desktop PC or laptop, you could also buy a FireWire card which will allow you to use the iLink connection for transferring video (this will also have no loss of video quality). This is a little bit tricker than using a video capture card as it can involve opening up your computer and if you are using a laptop, you choices are even more limited. If this is something that you would consider, take a look for 'Windows 7 FireWire Cards' on Google. Thanks, Simon.

Kdenlive and VLC both can read the built in web cam on /dev/video0 but I have no idea how to get the camera to be recognised or mounted on /dev. Can anybody suggest anything? Mocha - the camera has firewire and USB, it came with a usb cable not a firewire cable, the windows software that came with it can use usb to get video from tape (and does not run under wine).
So the camera does not 'need' firewire to transfer data, I just can't get kubuntu to use usb with the camera! That is the problem. Download lagu acha septiasah sampai menutup mata. No2498 - I had never heard of cheese before (at least not in the computer context that is). Thanks for the idea but it does not really help much as I can't figure out how to make the camera appear as a device that I can tell any software to use.
Essentially the problem is - the camera gets detected but not mounted as a device. Anyone know how to get round this?
