Sony Digital 8 Videocamera not found

I have purchased Premiere Elements in 2022. When I try to capture video from my Sony Digital 8 Videocamera, this is  not  found and does not appear in the capture device options . It only shows wdm as  capture device option (which I do not have) and no webcam or other device. I have set the videocamera both in player and Camera mode but with none of them it works. No device found. The videocamera is connected to my Win 11  64b PC via Firewire and it is found  without any problems by other softwares such as Vlc and Cyberlink Power Director.  What could be the reason  ? I checked whether any update was vaailable in Premiere Elements but could not find any . My version is Adobe Premiere Elememts 2022 - Version 20.0 . Thank you

I use http://www.scenalyzer.com/ and it works well, do change the default Fat32 to NTFS setting
-I have NOT used the scene detect function in scenalyzer, so don't know how well it works

@Peru Bob HDVsplit only works with hdv cameras. D8 is a SD camera.
