Here's what I experience. On laptops that the owner installed XP, the drivers are rarely correctly installed. Some don't know that Microsoft doesn't install them. Others didn't install SP1. All these details make such an iffy situation.
Also, Movie Maker only supports a small list of cameras. As such, I always try the software the camera came with first.

I have a Sony digital8 camcorder that i would like to connect to my laptop and edit movies. I have all the correct hardware and follow the steps for saving video to the hard-drive (using MS Movie Maker Program) but after imputting a file name and pressing save the program just freezes? have looked around and it seems to be a common problem when connecting Sony via firewire 400. Are there any fixes or solutions out there please? (The laptop has plenty of memory and i am using XP OS.)
