[Help] Anyone got a Sony TRV110e?

hi,

has anyone here got a Sony TRV110e Digital8 Camcorder?

ive not a clue about DV editing, but i can tell you what ive got:

the camcorder,
a PC capable of running/ripping and editing
a compatable iLink-firewire cable,
a firewire card..

now im looking for some software and techniques

thanks in advance for any help

 

Apparently a good application for beginners is Videowave. You usually get a copy thrown in when you purchase some firewaire cards.

What OS are you running on the PC? I've just gone through the experience of connecting a sony digital 8 camcorder to a Win98SE machine.

 

ive got Windows 2000

 

You should be fine then

I was ready to reformat and install XP until I got the thing working!
