Playing movies... i just uploaded my movies from the sony handycam to my computer, but they will not play

It is my understanding that the camera won't playback those formats, timecode or not. There are VCR type units for the HI8 and other formats. They should be cheap on eBay now...

your sony ccd-trv 108 will transfer videos(stream) to a computer using firewire connection. install the supplied software or use any program compatible for streaming like windows movie maker. use a firewire cable. check your computer for a firewire port(port with IEEE symbol) make sure that the tape is totally rewounded then press the record button on windows movie maker as the same time as you play the video from the camcorder. (its basically playing the entire video in order for windows movie maker to record it.

Could that be you don't played the tape. When capturing the cam should be playing.

you can connect your camcorder to your computer via ilink or firewire cable. connection is plug and play, no drivers needed, and the software that you need to use is windows movie maker. check he web if you do not know what firewire or ilink cable is.

Hi, You could view the video on the PC using the windows movie maker and a USB/ firewire cable connected to the camcorder.

Hi there.

Check the manual. Movies can only be recorded to disk. Thanks for coming to FixYa.

You need to carryout the "finalize" process on the DVD using the camcoder before you can play the movies on any other device.

Hi,
   Just delete unuseful data from drive or connect the camrea to your pc cut the required movie and paste it on your pc drive then it will work.

Thanks for using fixya.

Most digital HDD sony handycam video cameras encode MPEG-2 files in 5.1 surround sound audio. You probably are not hearing sound because your playback software does not support 5.1 surround sound encoded MPEG-2 files. Try using a newer peice of software with the latest codecs installed.

I have tried to copy movies to the computer but when I try to play them on the computer, there is no sound I transferred the videos I recorded onto my computer but no sound when playing them on the PC. The file is also a video clip file not an audio/video file unlike other files that I transferred from my other camcorder
