Sony dvd-dcr 201e: can i transfer pictures from this camcorder directly to pen drive

The USB streaming driver for the Camcorder is not available for Windows Vista OS from Sony at this point. Hence it is not possible to transfer videos using USB interface. You may use i.LINK or A/V interface to transfer videos from the Camcorder to the Computer which is running on Windows Vista Operating System.

Please follow the steps to transfer video to a computer using an i.LINK connection (IEEE 1394).

IMPORTANT: Video capture software and a compatible video capture card must be installed on the computer. Depending on the computer manufacturer, various video capture cards and software (Adobe Premiere, Roxio Video Wave, Microsoft Windows Movie Maker, etc.) may be available or already installed on your computer. If necessary, contact the manufacturer of your computer for further information.

NOTE: Many Sony VAIO computers are bundled with Sony DVgate Motion or DVgate Plus software for video capturing. Some VAIO computers also include Click To DVD software that will allow video capture to the computer hard drive or directly to a DVD.

can camcoder picturer directly transfer in laptop without software download in which window

Can you Help with these Camcorders problems?

2 options, first would be firewire if your camera has it , if not finalise the dvd on ur cam then just put your dvd inside the drive , providing its not a laptop then the normal drive on a mac has a smaller gap in the middle to accompany a smaller disc, then use idvd/imovie2/final cut etc, copy the file or film on to the hard drive and then you can edit it , otherwise if it is a laptop then you need external dvd drive

on how to transfer files from cam -> computer. any ideas? ... If your Sony DCR-TRV10 Camcorder has a firewire 1394 output connector, you connect it directly to your PC since your PC already has the firewire card. ... forum.digital-digest.com

transfer to pc, then transfer to mac

Check your battery is fully charge then reset it to factory setting..

hope this may help;

Hi,

I have the same problem; however there is a workaraound. If you plug your camcorder in to your usb drive and power on so that the Vista Plug 'n' Play can automatically install a driver for using as an external drive (bit like a usb stick)

When you go to my computer you will see an extra drive explore and see no files!

Well in the camcorder itself, there is a function to finalise the disc, perform this action and you should be able to see the files including the dvd menu files on the disc in my computer.

Drag and Drop to your computer. And use with what ever Software you want to.

This could also depend on the recording format you have set in the camcorder.

Hope this works for all.
