USB Plug Point

It is actually a 'Handycam Station' - it is a docking station for charging the battery. Your best bet is to try Ebay.

I would try Amazon.com, Ebay.com, etc. Of course, you can also Google "
handycam station" +DCR SR82"to find other sources.

Hope it helps.

HI, The manual for this unit can be downloaded from here.
http://www.docs.sony.com/release/DCRSR42.pdf

Look at page 19 and is shows the USB connection on the docking station for the DCR-SR82. There is no connection on the camera itself.

I have Sony DCR-SR82, the zoom on the camera just stopped working. Is there an easy fix for this?

Are you sure that the software is designed to work on such an old version of Windows ?

i dont think that your camcorder is compatible with mac. you can see the compatibility of your camcorder here.

It is compatible, but it may cost you 20 more dollars

iMovie does not work with muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 clips (and that's what you're trying to do)

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42996

You'll need:
MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 (free) and the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple).

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/

Once you do that, to transfer the data to the iMac:
1- Plug the USB cable, once detected (5s), press HDD on the touch screen panel
2- Go to Finder (on the Mac) then open the videos folder /MP_ROOT/100PNV01/M2U0001.MPG for example
3- Drag the .MPG file to the mac
4- Start Streamclip (see message further up the discussion)
Export using for example .DV format, readable by I-Movie.
5-Import the new file in I-movie

Please see the link below for the instruction manual.
