How do I capture video on my comp from a SONY DCR-TRV330 using Roxio with a USB cable if I do...?

Question

...not have the cd-rom?
My friend asked me to burn a home movie for her from her camcorder on my laptop. She didn't have the instruction manual or CD-ROM. I found the instruction manual online but it only discusses what to do when you have the CD. I also searched for the driver online and thought I found it and downloaded it; but when I uploaded it nothing happened. Any clue what to do?

Answer 1

this camera requires a firewire connection and not a USB connection. If your laptop doesn't have a firewire card then you can't download the video. If your laptop has a firewire card then you still need a firewire cord.

Answer 2

Got this camcorder (my first camcorder ever) about three weeks ago. Overall great and I've been nothing but impressed. If you are looking to shoot some video of the kids and play it back to family and friends on the home TV then get a less expensive camcorder. I think that if you are going to digital it's because you plan to download and manipulate the video on your home computer to get a semi-profession video. This camera lets you download the 30-minutes (of usually boring) video of the kids playing Little League onto your home computer and turn it into a really cool 5-minute baseball video with a soundtrack, still shoots (saved on the built in still camera) and titles that you can record back onto the camcorder. Lightweight and compact, it's easy to carry and the large (3.5 inch) LCD screen is a lot easier to view then the typical tiny 2.5 inch screen. The built in USB port and cable (included) is for the saved JPG still shots on the memory stick. To download the video to your computer you need a firewire card and a firewire cable (not included) plus the video software for your computer. The Sony included software is for the JPG still shots only. The camera also does not come with any MinDV tapes so order some when you order the camera. If you plan on shooting a lot of video without a battery recharge you might want to think of getting another battery. The LCD screen sucks up battery power like crazy so plan on 30 minutes of shooting before you are looking for a recharge. All in all a great camera that is easy to use and has enough options and bells-and-whistles to keep anyone occupied.

At the highest resolution you get at least 20. And using just 6 -RW minidiscs allows 2 hours of high res recording. Burn them later to one standard -R DVD disc, and reuse the mini's. Once you get the hang of it, it is no more difficult to switch out mini discs in your camera than tapes; you just have to do it a couple times more often. Being able to later select scenes immediately off the touchscreen instead of rewinding and searching is worth any time tradeoff; even when you add in the disc formatting and finalizing time, which are things you can take care of before and after shooting video in the field.

Answer 5

on the optimal decision you get a minimum of 20. And employing in basic terms 6 -RW minidiscs facilitates 2 hours of extreme res recording. Burn them later to one common -R DVD disc, and reuse the mini's. as quickly as you get the dangle of it, that's no harder to alter out mini discs on your digital camera than tapes; you in basic terms could desire to do it a pair cases greater in many cases. with the flexibility to later go with scenes at present day off the touchscreen rather of rewinding and finding is worth any time tradeoff; even once you upload interior the disc formatting and finalizing time, that are issues you may shield till now and after taking pictures video interior the sphere.
