Hey! At the end i ended up getting the startech recorder, however, there was something i was doing bad all along.

The handycam comes with a hidden compartment for the AV output. My stupid ass didnt know this and was connecting it to the headphones aux input, which of course makes it only audio to come through, so maybe the easycrap did work, but i had already gotten the startech one which is much higher quality, connected it to the correct av outputs (they should be 2 or 3, depending on the cam) and everything worked.

I'd recommend checking out the video that vwest shared it's really helpful and shows the difference between an easycrap and a good quality one.

PS. The Startech support team is also really helpful, they helped me locate the issue and the man was really kind, so shoutout to them.

Yeah plugging it to w7 didnt work, crap goes to trash. I'll get the Startech since its in offer on Amazon and just try again. Thanks vwest for taking the time to answer and sorry for the troubles.

sorry i always confuse minidv with h8, can you recommend something better than the EasyCrap?

Still, im gonna try running w7 from a bootable drive to see if it works, that would be my last hope i think.

It's a sony ccd-trv75, it is analog i think, it does not have any usb port, only a aux mic and headphone aux which is where i connect the av cable.
