Sony gave notice that support for these legacy camcorders would finish with the release of Windows Vista 3 years ago.

When you connect the DVD101E by USB does it appear as a removable disc drive in 'Computer'?  If it does then you may be able to copy data to the hard drive of your computer and edit it from there.
