Sony Picture Gear / PC 5

[tso-d_chris 0]

I'm trying to find a copy of the Picture Gear cd which serves as the serial driver for the Sony DCR-PC5. I cannot locate my original (v. 4.1 Lite), and it is not available on Sony's website. I'm sending the camera to a new home with my parents, as the Firewire port went south, rendering the camera next to useless to me. For proud grandparents, on the other hand, it is still a perfectly good video camera. I would like my parents to also be able to transfer stills to their PC. It's all part of my evil plot to get them to be a little less technophobic. Unfortunately, without this software, this becomes far more difficult. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Do they use a current technology OS? If so then the OS should recognize the USB connection and memory card without the need of external drivers.

The PC5 has no usb.

I have it. (Never used it, because I use FreeBSD/Gimp to dl pics).

Do you have place I can upload the image? Else PM your mailing address, and I will make a copy.

I'm still trying to get them to install SP2 for Windows XP. More likely I will have to do it for them next time I am there.

The PC5 has a serial port, but no USB, unfortunately.

Thanks, everybody for your help finding the driver.
