Hello.
I have a camcorder model GR-DX55E, and I want to access the videos on my computer. I don't have a firewire port on my computer, and I no longer have the installation CD. The manual mentions an ImageMixer software, but it doesn't seem to allow me to retrieve my videos without the drivers. I want to connect the camcorder to my computer via a USB port, but the camcorder is not recognized by my computer, and the device manager does not offer any driver.
I am running Windows 8.
I need help finding the necessary drivers; if that's not possible, would it be feasible to connect the firewire port to a USB port at a lower cost?
I searched on the JVC website without any results and I have sent them an email.
Thank you.

Hello, I would like to... unfortunately, it's still the computer that dictates
Transferring mini DV tapes to a laptop or PC tower requires the laptop or PC tower to have a FireWire or iLink (IEEE 1394 port), it’s the same thing. Perform the transfer using Windows Live Movie Maker or iMovie (Mac) or commercial editing software; the computer recognizes the camcorder right away for capturing
an internal IEEE 1394 (FireWire, iLink, it's the same) card can be easily installed in a PC tower for a few "kopecs," euros, or dollars
If it’s a laptop that doesn’t have this port, a second solution is to check if the laptop has a slot on the side for "ExpressCard" (PCMCIA) protected by a fake plastic card. There are FireWire ExpressCard adapters available:

3rd ultimate solution: you need to buy an analog to USB converter box
This box or dongle handles the conversion "hardware from analog stream to digital" and you connect the box to the computer via a USB cable. The file is converted to MPEG2, a format easy to burn and compatible with all players, and allows for editing with "Studio"
Connect the box and camcorder using an S/VHS connection is recommended or composite (less good) (RCA yellow) and a cord for sound (2 RCA red, white). For the VCR, you need a SCART connection with an adapter or cable with the "out" direction or with an in/out switch for S/VHS or yellow composite RCA (less good) plus the sound, two RCA outputs red and white
I recommend the Dazzle box, either "Recorder" or "Video Creator Platinum," depending on your needs
the price of the software provided with the latter makes the product interesting
there are cheaper products, but be careful, they can be a source of headaches
the image quality can only be judged on the TV screen once the film is burned

the same one cheaper if you have a pcmcia port available https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B000KGGM6U/ref=asc_df_B000KGGM6U18003720?smid=AI7EFK6N1BNXB&tag=clubic-mp-pc-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22802&creativeASIN=B000KGGM6U
