Vista - Sony mini-CD digital camera

My computer won't recognize my sony digital camera (MVC-CD350) when I connect
it to my computer via the USB cable. Furthermore, if I take the mini-cd out
of the camera and put it into the computer's cd-rw drive, the computer seems
to think the disk is blank. Could anybody PLEASE give me some help here?

To connect the camera using USB you will have to get a Vista driver from Sony.
Does the camera have a firewire (i-link) port? To be able to read the mini CDs
on your computer, you have to finalize them in your camera. Read your manual.

I was having the same problem as you. What I do now is to "Finalised" the
mini disc in the camcorder then play it in my laptop. If you need to burn it
to a DVD, then you'll need programs like Sony Vegas, Nero, etc. I guess Sony
has not update most of its product softwares to run compatible with Vista.
