Cyril Gunasekera Posted on Jul 03, 2012

When I connect My Samsung VP-D77i Camcorder to my Laptop I always get a message saying "cant open camera device". My Laptop does not have a fire wire port but only with USB ports. It has Windows 7 Pre

    I also have tried with the EasyCap VHS to DVD which also was a failure. The main problem is the computer does not recognise camera. Is there a fitting Firewire to USB coverter which will compatiblle with the Windows 7 ?.

First, try attaching the camcorder via usb cable with the camera OFF, then turning it on. This may trigger Windows to activate the driver scanner and activate the driver. If you've been attaching with camcorder off, try attaching with it on, to see if that activates driver installation.

If that doesn't work, you may have a low-power usb plug; often the usb ports in the back of the computer put out more juice than the handy ones on the front. You may also need a shorter and more robust usb cable; I've found with various cameras and phones that certain usb cables work fine for recharging but won't necessarily provide adequate data transfer.

Samsung VP-D10 Camcorder Drivers. Hi there, I am a bit of a novice at this.

Question edited for a lot more clarity and tidy up the written English.

Hello Peter

The first link says it has the drivers

https://www.google.com/search?q=samsung+camcorder+VP-D10+driver

Support is localized by country. It is always better to get Support from Samsung direct. The original software disc had the drivers.

If the camcorder has analog AV output capability, you should be able to plug tour camcorder into the media projector without needing the laptop.
