Sony Mini DV to PC
So i was cleaning up in a spare room and came across my old sony mini VD handy cam, surprisingly the 2003 batteries charged up and i was able to view some of the footage from some of my kids early birthdays and a few xmas days when they were young.
I still had the original sony USB cable i tried to see if my win10 PC would detect it but nothing i tried worked, got a firewire to USB cable as a google search suggested but still no luck.
Probably its too old for win10 and no drivers were found, sony site wasn't much help.
Has anyone has this problem and found a suitable solution ? something i haven't tried yet is to fire up an old XP laptop and see if is able to detect and work with the camera.
Camera is a DCR TRV19.

Looks like they've dropped 32bit support (and the sony raw driver) ; seems to be you need to use the 'PlayMemories' software on win10 ---
I found an earlier copy of play memories and downloaded it but when i went to install it it fails when it tries to connect to the camera on my win7 machine, sony support site suggested i install the usb driver after uninstalling the original.
Got as far and rebooting the PC at which point it froze, will see what happens tonight or will attempt to startup my old XP laptop.
If it's been sitting around for a bit, make sure the USB socket on the camera is clean.
Its detected by the PC as an unknown device so i think its just a driver compatibility issue.
