I have a new Sony Vaio laptop with Windows Vista and Windows Movie Maker. When I try to import video from my Panasonic DV Palmcorder Model PV-DC252D to the Sony Vaio via a 4 pin to 4 pin Firewire, I get the following response from Windows Movie maker;

IMPORT VIDEO COULD NOT FIND A COMPATIBLE DEVICE. VERIFY THAT THE DIGITAL VIDEO DEVICE IS PROPERLY CONNECTED AND TURNED ON

I went through all the trouble shooting with no luck. Any one have any ideas?
