Sc-D453 dosn't connect to my computer

I'm really frustrated my computer dosen't recognize my Samsung SC-D453. It is telling me I need a disk or something. I'm trying to edit video on windows moviemaker and I only have a USB cord. I do have a connection for the 1394 (just not the cord) will that make a differance? I got the camera from a friend and don't have any disk software for it. Can I buy this if I have to have it.

You need a driver for that to be able to recognize your camcorder on your computer.

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/download/supportDown.do?group=camerascamcorders&type=camcorders&subtype=minidv&model_nm=SCD453&language=&cate_type=all&dType=D&mType=UM&vType=R&prd_ia_cd=04020100&disp_nm=SCD453

after you download the driver, install it to your pc and it should be recognizable after you done it.
as for editing, windows moviemaker is a good software for editing but i prefer to use Ulead Movie maker, Ulead Producer or anything about Ulead because its so easy to use for editing and saving a movie or video files from your camcorder. you can also use your usb for connecting the interface with your camcorder and pc. hope that helps you and thank you for using fixya. dont forget to rate thanks!

Rejecting tapes

I had the same problem with my SC-D363. My screen would flash "D" and tell me to eject the tape.

Here is the SOLUTION:
1) Very Gently unscrew (4 screws)and remove the front casing portion of the camcorder, be sure not to strip the screws.
2) Directly underneath the lens there is crosslike metal support that extends from the tape
compartment chassis. The green circuit board should rest on top of it as shown below instead of
underneath it, as it was when it was assembled.
And Voila! Camera works like when it first came out of the box.

I need to get my videos off the camera and to my computer

All of miniDV cam does have FireWire port somewhere in it (or at the docking station in case of SONY's)

In order to capture the footage from the cam to your PC,you need the Firewire card and the cable.Should be available at any computer hardware store.All you have to do is to install the card to your PC,connect your cam to your computer via the cable,and capture the video by your favorite video editing software.


Yes,that sounds a bit more difficult than drag-and-drop work in USB-connection camera,but not too difficult to understand,of course.

Can't Install Video Codex? Why Not?

This sounds like a device-driver problem. The camcorder will never be recognized by your PC until you get the right driver and then the 'Mass Storage' msg will go away.
Vista is too new for the D363. Check the Samsung website for a Vista driver for USB.
