"Sony camcorder Digital 8 DCR-TRV460 NTSC" video import trouble.?

I have no software cd, so i tried to download everything manually, downloaded assess driver, and also Sony ImageMixer 1.5. I need to import record from camcorder to PC, but i can’t. ImageMixer doesn’t let me to import it. It just let’s me watch it. But import option is not enabled. Anyone can help?
It uses a tape, i need to import record from the tape to my pc.

DCR-TRV460, a Digi-8 vcam must be DV~Firewire400**-connected to computer to upload video thru video editing* or capture application while vcam is ON PLAYBACK. Most (digital) tape vcams have 4-pin DV ports; before cable purchase** check pc or mac for DV port {VCAM@4-pin=>firewireCABLE=>PC@4/ 6-pin?}. If none, install firewire card: pci for desktop or pcmcia / express for mainframe.

entry-level Movie Maker* (free w/ Vista/wmm6 & XP/wmm2) is simple & simple to learn. Upgrade to intermediate (or advanced) record control apps accdg. to need & skill level

record control process- Vista/Wmm6
>>> open wmm- start/all programs/wmm->TASK pane
1. Import record spill**-control app remotely controls vcam; import pics & music
2. Edit- drag/drop video files->timeline & enhance w/effects, transition, music & titles
3. Publish (render)- save Movie (OK for youTube), also, save Project.msmmw file
>>> Share=>shift to DvD authoring app (DvD Maker; WinDvD; Nero; DvD Flick, etc)->burn to DvD

Similarly: XP/wmm2- Capture/Edit/End- DvD authoring app, e.g.,DvD Flick or Nero

이 중에 특히 프린터는 어제 새로 구입을 한 놈으로 기대 이상의 놈이네요… ^^

I have a chance to buy one for cheap in Mint condition.

Anyone used one? Did you like it? Is it worth it to buy or should I just save a few hundred dollars and buy something else?

Getting it for $ 75

$ 75? As long as it works go for it!
I have the Sony DCR TRV460, its just a more updated version of yours with a few more features-maybe a small better zoom power. Anyways i like mine. Fantastic product.
If your computer has a 1394 (firewire) port, you can plug your camcorder honest into it and download movies honest from it to your computer.
There is no way you may maybe beat that price anywhere and in my opinion Sony makes a fantastic camcorder and additional harvest.
