Sony Recordable Dvd Drive

i have NERO 2014 Platnum and would like to use my VDR-VC20 to capture video from my Sony Video HI8XR camera. I can't find the dist that came with the drive. I think I need to install the drivers/plug-in for the DVDirect. Can you help me find the right ones?

It shouldn't need any drivers. Most DVD drives will install automatically when you plug them into your computer. If you need the software however, you can download it from here.
