OK, I've purchased the latest software and it still will not recognize myh Sony DVD camera like the software did that came with the camera.
I'm close to being $110 out of pocket on software the company says will work, the company offers no real support as I'm still unable to use it.
I've purchased Pyro AV/Link that does an OK job but it really takes a long time to extract the videos from the camera.
Any help would be appreciated.

Bob - you do not need any more software - your PC/software does not need to 'recognise' your camera - just do this :-
Finalise the DVD in your camera then take the mini disc out of your camera and put it in the DVD tray of your PC - take care to centralise it in the special depression.
open UVS8 at the edit stage and either :-
1. Click on "File" then "Import Media file to timeline" then click on "Insert DVD/DVD-VR" then browse to the VIDEO_TS folder on your Disc - select it and follow instructions and your video will appear in the timeline.
2. RIGHT click in the timeline and from the pop-up which appears choose "Insert DVD/DVD-VR" then browse to the VIDEO_TS folder on your Disc - select it and follow instructions and your video will appear in the timeline.
3. In the very bottom left corner is a little round icon with an opening folder on it - click on it and from the pop-up which appears choose "Insert DVD/DVD-VR" then browse to the VIDEO_TS folder on your Disc - select it and follow instructions and your video will appear in the timeline.

We have yet to hear VerityBob say he has finalized the DVD while it is still inside his camcorder.
He started out saying he had a USB connection to the computer.
I think it's interesting that Sony and JVC (the two companies whose products I know) do very little about this final link in home video-making -- editing the video material on computer. Both companies helpfully supply a USB 2.0 cable, but not the Firewire cable needed to transfer video from tape to hard drive. Yes, it might be opening a can of worms to do so. On the other hand, I've not seen a notice in any owner's manual saying "Attention: This cable we supply will NOT help you capture or transfer the video you shoot to your computer!"

The latest dvd writing camcorders come with a USB driver to conform with
the USB-2 spec. (Not the same as USB2 hi-speed transfer spec).
First install the driver, then when you plug the camcorder XP will assign a
drive letter to the device. (Exactly the same as if your are plugging in
an external dvd /reader-writer). You must load the driver first.
You then access the camcorder as any other USB device using the drive
letter assigned to it. You can even write to the dvd in the camcorder.
So, using VS you simply click on import dvd/vr and navigate to the
drive letter assigned to the camcorder ->video_ts folder and import/transfer
the dvd contents.
Or, you can play the dvd using "Power-Dvd, Windvd or Ulead dvd player".
These are the newer models being made.
The older models use USB to access the memory card in either
"Camera" or "Disk Drive" mode. Only for pictures or low-res video for
web distribution.
The correct "Setup" menu in these camcorders needs to be learned by
the user to understand how the cam's supposed to operate.
The Sony 101 camcorder produces excellent video.
Like everyone says.
Finalize the dvd in the camcorder.
Import it into VideoStudio.
