I want to copy video from my DVD CAM to my computer for editing.
I have installed the USB driver from CD from Hitachi. When I plug the USB from camera into my computer it reports "Disk Access" on the camera but then shuts off and does not show as a device in My Computer.

Guide for transfering data to pc
Utilizing a USB computer connection and Hitachi's optional PC Editing
Kit Software (DZ-WINPC3W), the DVD camcorders become external DVD home
movie drives. Video can be transferred from the DVD camcorder to the PC
for editing. After editing, the video can be transferred back to the
DVD camcorder and recorded. This is where the strength of Hitachi's
multi-format DVD camcorders gives consumers an unprecedented
capability:
1. Record video utilizing the rewrite-able DVD-RAM format
2. Transfer the footage to the PC
3. Edit the footage on the PC
4. Transfer the footage back to the DVD camcorder and record it onto DVD-R for compatibility with most DVD players
Or if available, the video can be transferred
by placing the disc into a PC's 4.7G byte DVD-RAM or DVD-ROM3 drive.
Editing steps to note:
Getting your Hitachi DVD ram vro to
video cd or dvd! *note just changing the vro file to mpg does not work,
what happens is you only see the 1st segment of your recordings. I went
through insane amounts of hell figuring all of this out. The below
method to my knowledge is the only way to do it without going insane!
Only Two Programs Needed:
DVD2AVI
TMPGENC
Basic steps are here, let me know if you need more detail:
-Copy your .vro file to your hard drive
-open dvd2avi
-load the vro file directly into dvd2avi
-do a save project (that will create 2 small files)
-close dvd2avi, you're done with it now
-now open tmpgenc
-load the video portion of your dvd2avi project (the d2v file)
-load your audio portion of your dvd2avi project (the other one)
-you're set! just output the file to svcd or whatever you like!
-need to edit the file? use tmpgenc mpeg tools and segment the
clips you want, then merge them back together as 1 mpeg, it works great
and no need for re-encoding!

The camera must be in Transfer mode before copying data from camera to computer. Also its easy to copy from directly memory card to computer.
Thanks

If you are using re-writerable DVD then you can use it after finalizing otherwise you can't use it.
VRO:Video format used for streaming (real-time) recording of DVD discs; contains actual audio and video recordings; works with IFO files, which tell the DVD player where the VRO files are located.
VOB:VOB files are the files on a DVD that contain the actual video, audio, subtitles, and menus for the DVD. Video and Audio on a VOB file are compressed using MPEG-2.
I think you should also try for VOB files because it depends on your camera incoder that to which stream its making videos as per your settings.

Make sure its pluged in to a powersource and try again, you should see the camera in my computer.
There might be fault in the camera.
The camera shouldn't turn off, it needs to stay on while connected or you will be unable to transfer anything.
Please check the pages 94 and forward in your manual
Here is the online version of the manual in pdf format

you should also be able to use the DVD in the camera in your computer if you have a DVD drive, you might need to finalize the disk in the camera first.
If your PC is compatible with the disc used, you can immediately use a disc removed from the cartridge
or caddy on PC.
Note: The PC connection cable does not supply power to the DVD video camera/recorder. Use the AC adapter to power the DVD video camera/recorder.
Note: If you connect this DVD video camera/recorder
to PC, nothing will appear in the viewfinder
or on the LCD screen. The CHARGE/ACCESS indicator
will blink only while the disc is being
accessed.
Only, if the disc is a RW - rewriteable. in R discs changes cant be reversed.
coschroe the format might be difrent from what the other guy said earlyer, what do you see on the disc?
I suppose you have a editing program that supports your camera?

I am looking at the menu and do not know how to put the camera in transfer mode.
How can I copy from memory card to computer?
If I finalize the disk before putting it into my computer will I still be able to reuse the disk in my camera?
Now that I have finalized a DVD-R disk the camera with that disk show up in MY COMPUTER. I do not see any files on the disk with the extension .vro. Should I?
