Since the transfer of digital signal to the camcorder is fully automatic (no controls or adjustments of the process are active other then start or stop) the signal coming from the computer MUST be continuous. If any glitches or interruptions are present in the signal coming from the computer, the camcorder will automatically cancel the connection.

When i use the cable in my computer to get the pictures off they come off but my videos dont

Depending on your model, you might need to try and transfer the video via the firewire port. Lots of newer camcorders have a USB and a firewire (IEE1394). Typically, the USB is for photo transfers and the firewire/DV is for video transfers.

Hope this helps.

Is there a way I can transfer video to my computer?

You need a firewire (iee1394) cable to connect the camara to a computer and a editing software to transfer the video to the computer.

There are two tipe of firewire connectors: 6 and 4 pin (big or little) the camara has a little one, the board for desktop computer generally are big ones, meanwhile the notebooks generally have the little (4 pin). Look at your computer because is frustrating buy a cable and isn.t the correct one.
if the computer hasn't a firewire port you need a board (around 15- 20 €).
If the computer is a notebook there a PCMCIA firewire card (30-50 €) card.

If you use windows you have movie maker that is a very simple editing software but it works. You can find free or cheap editing software.

PC with Windows XP will not recognize DCR-HC96 Handycam, and I don't have the software disk that came with the camera. Help

Option 1:

If you want to use the USB cable to connect the Camera to the Computer to transfer the video to the Computer then:

(Applicable for Windows XP Operating System only):

As you are using a Windows XP Operating System then you have to install the USB Streaming Driver in the Computer from the supplied Software disk with the Computer.

Check this Link for the instruction to transfer video to a Computer using USB Streaming.

http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C222820

As you do not have the supplied Software disk then I suggest that you use the i.LINK cable to transfer the video. The i.LINK port is also called IEEE 1394 or Firewire port.

An i.LINK is a black D shaped connector with 4 or 6 pins. The i.LINK cable is an optional accessory for the Camcorder. You require to purchase either a 4 - pin to 4 - pin or a 4 - pin to 6 - pin i.LINK / Firewire cable depending on the number of pins on the i.LINK / Firewire port of your Computer (since Camcorder will have only 4PIN i-LINK, while the Computer may have a 4PIN or 6 PIN i.LINK port).

You do not require any Drivers or Software from Sony to transfer the video from the Camcorder to the Computer using the i.LINK/Firewire interface.

You can use any video capturing software like Windows Movie Maker to transfer the video from the Camcorder to the Computer.

Refer this Link for the instruction to transfer the video to the Computer using i.LINK cable.

Unable to transfer video information onto PC ACER ASPIRE using windows Vista for editing by windows movie maker. Interface on PC is via USB. If software driver for firewire or 1394 interface is available...

(An i.LINK is a black D shaped connector with 4 or 6 pins. The type of cable to be used will depend on the i.LINK port of your Computer.

I woul like to put all my digicam recordings onto dvds

You should either download video to a computer (using firewire/IEE1394 connexion), then use a video editing software to build DVD films, or a direct firewire to DVD software (no editing, just dump the video on a disk). This is a bit difficult if you are not accustomed with computers, and takes some time if you want to have nice results. An over possibility is with new home DVD recorder / player, much have now a firewire/IEE1394 input that lets you download atomaicaly from your camcorder to a DVD or the internal Hard drive if the player is equiped with. This last seems to be the best for you if you just want to save your video for further visionning, and don't want to du "cut and paste job" that would be made possible with video editing soft on a computer. Then you should look for a home DVD recorder, and be sure to have it with a IEE1394-Firewire input. I hope this will help.
