I have a sony DCR PC3E that records on Mini DV tapes. I have been trying to record video from my camera to my windows laptop. I recently bought a audio/video out to RCA cable and connected that to a capture card that converts RCA to usb. This does not work. I have tried so many things. I have downloaded new drivers and such, but nothing works. Can someone please help. What is the best way to get these videos from the tapes onto my laptop
