I've got a Sony Digital Video Camera (Model DCR-TRV725E). I can't seem to capture anything with my Windows XP Operating System. The Memory Stick works fine via the USB port, but I cannot Capture Video using the software that Sony provided.

Where can I get updated drivers for Windows XP from? I've checked out Sony website, but they don't have any drivers for Windows XP.

What's going wrong here? Or is it because I don't have a Video Capture Card on my computer?!!!!!!!!! :)
Can't I just play video using the video capturing software through the USB port?

SORRY EVERYONE, I TAKE MY WORDS BACK!!

There is no problem at all with using Sony Digital Camera with Windows XP. I had never used a digital camera with a computer before and I was trying to play the video through the USB port!!! It is obvious that I need a video capture card before I can play any video on my computer.

When I didn't see any video on my computer, I assumed that the problem was with Windows XP. There is no problem at all. The camera works fine!!!
