Default Older Sony camcorder, where to get drivers?

Hi, I have a Sony NV-TRV 16E, one of the later DV camcorders.
My lad wants to use it film trials stunts and put them on you-tube, but we can't find the software that came with it, and Sony don't seem to list the drivers anymore.

Plugging it into the PC, it won't recognise what you have plugged in.

Anyone got the drivers, or have any idea where I could get them? Bit of a longshot, but hey.......

TIA

No mate, never use it myself now. And my lad can't afford them, having been out of work most of 2010, he's still paying off debts.

Should have had the cable with the camera. If not, have a look on fleabay. You also need an input on your laptop or pc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FireWire
