Go to www.google.com, plug in "sony dcr ip7" and find reviews that'll tell you your cameras data isn't designed to be read by a computer looking for DV.Quote,

"The different data rate makes Micro MV incompatible with the three previous DV flavours - professional DVCam, prosumer DV and Mini DV (which only differ in the size of the cassette), and consumer Digital8 (which uses normal 8mm cassettes; I review a rather fancy Digital8 camera here). Those three formats have identical bitstreams and so can just be plugged straight into each other. Micro MV may use FireWire connections just like the DV variants, but it still can't talk to them, or to computer editing software that expects DV data." Sorry.

Guess you should have done some F_cking research before you bought the S_it. Doh.
Might see something in a way of computer codec in the future, but not at this time.
