So...
I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC38 and so far I have not been able to get my computer to recognize it when I have it plugged in via firewire (iLink). I read the sticky and tried all of those solutions including turning off the firewall for the port and such. Not working still... I've gotten it to be able to plug in via USB and do live streaming, but i cannot get my videos onto my HD.
Any help is appreciated.
