Sony DCR-TRV330 Digital8 Firewire Driver/Software

I got this old Sony DCR-TRV330 Digital8 that I bought back in like 01. I have a firewire port, usb, composite. But what I want to do, is control the DV zoom and other settings from my computer. I remember a long time ago I was able to do all this, but since then I cant. Also, I would like to be able to use the DV as a webcam. I was hoping someone here knew some sony drivers, or another open source type program that does all this and more.

btw i have xp 64 bit corp, so that may cause some problems.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The Firewire driver should be built-in to your operating system. This "Capturing DV with Microsoft Windows Movie Maker" article explains how to capture live video (webcam). Of course, the article refers to capturing the live video. But if you can get it to work as the article described, then other compatible programs will be able to use the live video feed.

In that case, the camcorder and the Firewire driver is working just fine. There might be a compatibility problem with Skype. Or, perhaps, Skype simply isn't configured correctly. Maybe Skype only works with USB web cams and not Firewire web cams. Anyway, I'm just throwing out possible scenarios. You should look for a solution on the Skype side.
