'Failed to get the correct DV device driver.' when archiving

Hi. Using VS11+ I'm trying to archive my short (<5mn) videos to a DV tape on my Sony HDR-HC7E for the first time. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but when I select the Share tab I get the message headed DV Recording 'Failed to get the correct DV device driver.' The camera is switched on and is connected. I've had no problem capturing video from the camera. I have switched the camera to DV rather than HDV mode. Any help gratefully received.

OK, yes I'd done something really stupid. I had to set the camera to DV recording not HDV mode. That's buried in the camera system. I also had to make sure I had the movie Shared in DV output mode. Du'uh! Works now.
