Last year I purchased a new digital Sony video recorder (TRV245E) and
together with a quite new PC (operated by OS Windows XP Pro) and the
software which came together with the Sony video on an installation CD the
recorder works properly together with the PC. This year at first I explored
this Sony's interface programe more deeply and there I've got the problem:

The software program is: ImageMixer ver 1.5 for Sony made by Pixela.
Connection cable between camera and my PC: USB cable
I know that the USB port on my computer is version 2.0

The software creates .mpg or .avi files. Hence I should use ordinary CD-R,
not DVD. Problem: The ImageMixer interface program never delivers any sound,
neither to the new created file nor when only exploring the video tape on my
PC.

Should I use any further cable, such as an S-video cable (existing on both
devices) because the USB cable is not good enough or ???

Greatly greatful for any good advice.

A digital video camera should be connected via a firewire cable (aka iLink
aka IEEE1394).

Thank's for your kind advice. Now at least I will have something on my skin
when getting in touch with a salesman!
