Vista Tutorial - Video camera DRIVER (samsung)

I currently have a Digital Video Camera (Samsung mini DV).. It's model # is SC-D353. So, I have this video camera that I am completely unable to use on my computer. The camera is not too old (maybe 3 or 4 years at the most), but there are no drivers for 64 bit Windows Vista (home premium). Ever since I've gotten Windows Vists I've had nothing but problems. I had no idea, when I bought it that I would have this much trouble. So, what do I do? I want to make a music video, but I have no idea what Video Editing programs work with vista 64 bit. I also need to know if this camera is worthless, and if I now need to buy a new one. Someone please help me out here. Any clues, hints, tips, anything would be nice right now. I'm just soo lost.

Hello daeser1,
This driver (top one) is supposed to be for all Windows, but as you know this is not always a guarantee that it will work, if you want to try it, create a system restore point first.

I have scanned them and they are clean.

The only other thing i can think of is to try a x32Bit (bottom one) driver but i doubt if that will work, but as you have a camera as a paper weight, you dont have anything to lose.

If you decide to try any of the drivers dont forget to create a system restore point first.

I have to say if it was me i would have to know if these worked, but im a bit cavalier when it comes to things like this, lol.

Good luck and please post your results. Thank's.

I just got the idea of trying to use the memory stick in the camera. Of course I'd have to go buy a stick and see if it compatable with my computer.. Then I gotta figure out if I can transfer video through it... It's a hassle... I think I may just buy a new camera (one with a driver for Vista (64 bit).. I just wish I knew what I was getting myself into when I got this computer.. Very limited variety of drivers for this...

It is a problem, im surprised that samsung dont have a x64 bit driver for there camera, i dont think you would have any issues with the memory stick though, it's a pity you could not get this issue resolved with drivers. Too easy !.
Good luck with the music video.

Thank you very much.

Your welcome any time.

One of the biggest strengths of x64 is memory, one of the biggest problems...driver support.

I had to talk a guy into buying a 32bit version of Vista strictly because of drivers. Pity.

I have to agree, by the time everybody catches up Windows 7 will be on the shelves.
