Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 Mini DV Digital Camcorder Logo
jamie wickham Posted on May 15, 2007

Connecting to computer

I cannot connect my sony handycam to my computer to transfer the video. I recorded on a dvd-r and a dvd-rw. My computer drive only takes dvd+rw. I tried to buy a firewire cable, but my computer does not have a jack for that cable. When I connect with a regular usb, the computer says that my sony handycam is not digitally signed. Please help me! thanks!

If ur handycam have firewire, ur computer should have firewire too. buy a IEEE1394 PCI card. any video editing software will automatically detect a firewire connection. install a usb driver for usb connection and don't bother the "not digitally signed" continue installing. usb driver can be downloaded for specific gadget.

SOURCE: connecting to computer

i don't know if this a great solution. anytime i tried to port video from the camera to the computer(vista), i couldn't get it to work. i bought a dazzle, but sorry folks i think it's junk. take video, stills and DV to memory stick then read it from there. it works great. i spent alot of time trying diffrent ways and this way is the best. pull you're dvd's from there too. one more thing- lightscribe and label flash are extremely over rated.
