I have a sony dcr-dvd108. Can I get some help?

It sounds like your Sony DCR-DVD108 camcorder may have a problem with the battery or the power connection.
For the battery issue, you can try replacing the battery with a new one that is compatible with your camcorder. The Sony NP-FP50 or NP-FP70 are compatible batteries for your DCR-DVD108. You can purchase them online or from a camera store.
As for the "Movie Disabled" message, it may be caused by the type of disc you are using. The Sony DCR-DVD108 camcorder is compatible with DVD-R and DVD-RW discs, but it may not be compatible with all brands of discs. You may need to try using a different brand of disc to see if that resolves the issue.
Additionally, make sure that the camcorder is set to the correct recording mode, such as video mode, and that there is enough space on the disc to record the video. If none of these solutions work, there may be a problem with the camcorder itself, and it may need to be repaired or replaced.

When i try to record on my dcr-dvd108 it says to put in a disk but i already have a memory card in there

Hi,

The model of your camcorder only allows you to record onto a DVDR or a DVDRW. The purpose of your memory stick only allows you to capture still images. Further, no options for memory stick recording provided in the recording menu.

Sony Handycam DCR DVD108

The only way to cut off the sound on a handycam is to connect up a blank micro jack plug to the microphone input. Unfortunately the DVD108 doesn't have this option.
