Sony HDV Video Capture

[Jeff Sony]

Dear Microsoft,

I'm trying to connect my Sony HDV (high definition video) video camera to my
Dell XPS 410 runnning Windows XP SP2.

From Sony, I understand that Windows XP SP2 should automatically recognize
my Sony camera. However it is only recognized in "DV" mode, not in "HDV"
mode.
When I go to my device driver and try to select Sound, Video and Game
Controllers - "Sony" does not appear on the Manufacturer's list. Yet
evidently it should have been included with the standard Windows XP SP2
install.

After reviewing a lot of information on Microsoft.com and the internet, it
seems that I need to locate a series of files which I don't believe are on
my computer including:

Sony D-VHS driver
And the following files...

Windows XP 32-bit versions
Date Time Version Size File name

15-Feb-2003 00:22 5.3.16.3 24,576 Xpsp1hfm.exe
13-Dec-2002 00:13 5.1.2600.108 49,920 1394bus.sys
09-Nov-2002 13:48 5.1.2600.105 46,720 61883.sys
09-Nov-2002 13:48 5.1.2600.105 24,448 Sonydcam.sys
13-Jan-2003 23:53 5.1.2600.1156 50,816 1394bus.sys

Please tell me where I can go to find these files,

Best regards,

Jeff

Does Sony not have the drivers on their website?
