After reading a lot of reviews about this I find that a lot people are having trouble transferring DV to their computer.1st your computer will not recognise it because it is not a hard drive or any kind of drive.2nd there are no drivers for DV cam corders.If you have or you get ''''Cyberlink Power Director'''' you can download to this and it is recognised as soon as you turn on your C/Corder,Making sure first to set CPD to camcorder then you can make your transfer easy. Hope this help some of you.
