Question about Sony Handycam DCR-SR100 Camcorder

Images on the SOny DCR SR 100 HDD camcorder show as boxes.

I plugged in the USB from the Camcorder to the computer. Selected "open the folder to view the files". Selected all the movie and images folders and copied them on to the computer. My problem: The movies playback on the camcorder but not on the computer. Only few images got copied on to the computer. And when I checked my camcorder, all the images, except the one that got copied, rest of them are grey boxes. I can;t see the bulk of the images. Please help. TGhanks

The movie recording error message indicates that the Camcorder is not in a position to record videos. It may be due to shake, free space, corruption in the folder structure, bad sectors in the HDD.

Place the Camcorder in a steady surface and press the record button.

There is a tutorial for transferring video from tyhis camera to a computer on the Sony website. Unfortunately, you do not say what kind of computer (PC or Mac) or operating system you have, and you have to specify this on the website to get the right instructions.

The instructions for a Windows computer are as follows:

Movie player applications must support mpeg 2 playback to open these files properly. Refer to the software manufacturer for additional information and available updates.

Turn on the computer.
Make sure the camcorder is turned off.
Connect the camcorder to the computer using the supplied USB cable.
Plug the AC power adapter into an electrical wall outlet and then connect it to the camcorder.
Open the LCD screen on the camcorder.
Turn on the camcorder.
The USB SELECT screen will be displayed on the LCD; touch the HDD icon.
Open the My Computer window on the computer.
In the My Computer window, double-click the icon that represents the camcorder and then navigate through the folder structure to locate the video you want to transfer. Note: The camcorder will be listed in the My Computer window as an additional hard drive.
Click to select the video or image files you want to transfer. Note: If your are using a High Definition Handycam® Camcorder, Sony recommends copying and pasting the AVCHD folder to the hard drive of the computer before accessing its contents.
Type CTRL+C to copy the files.
Click on the computer folder to which you want to copy the video or still image files.
Type CTRL+V to paste the file into the computer folder.

The Sony page for your camera has many links for information and downloads, including software downloads, at THIS PAGE

I want to play a mpeg-2 video on my TV through Sony SR 40

You cannot play any content that you transfer from your computer on the camcorder no matter what format you try. The camcorder simply does not support it.

Connecting to computer & importing images from HD of DCR SR 42

Mine does the same thing.After it says "connecting" on the LCD of the camcorder, there is nothing to actually do on the camcorder. With the Sony SR42 software installed (supposed to come with the camcorder on purchase-but maybe you can also find it for free online), the software called Sony Picture Utility (which is part of the big packge of software) opens up automatically and offers to either burn your photos/videos to directly to a compact disc, or to import them onto the computer's harddrive.
That's how it happens for me.I'm not-tech savy or anything. Hope this helps.

Sony camcorder - USB mode

the usb mode is usually reserved for removing pictures from memory card through camcorder to computer-using camcorder as web cam-new models can stream lower quality video from camcorder to computer-for a dvd cam use a converter box ie pinnacle movie box to convert analog A/V connections to usb and that will stream the correct way-
