My old cam allows me to edit raw footage right in the camera. I can then record directly into my DVDrecorder without using a computer. Can the HC 520?

Yes, this camcorder does allow basic scene editing; including scene deletion, deleting part of a scene, and dividing scenes.

This is video editing software (a good one) but it does not offer 1-click solution (at least I am not aware of it nor I was ever looking for it) that can import from your device and burn to disc.If you just want to burn your raw films on DVD any burning software would do the job.You need this one (Movie Studio) if you want to edit video before burning.

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj

This camera makes mp4 videos. A format that will cause you no problems with any system. The files are on the SD card in the DCIM folder under 100Media. And you just drag them to your desired folder on your computer. Super simple. Newer camcorders record in "avchd", which is fine if you run windows, but Macs still make you jump through hoops in order to import the footage. The Files are in the Folder Private. Then the Folder AVCHD. Then the folder BDMV. The the folder Stream. If you are running windows you can just drag the footage from the Stream folder to your desired folder. But if you are using a MAC you need to drag the entire BDMV folder over. But the Toshiba Camileo X200 records mp4's. This camera makes mp4 videos.

ONLY if the camcorder is an old VHS type. If it is digital, then forget it. It likely will be of no help to you at all. IF it IS a VHS type , and a home movie or something else you recorded personally, there should be no Macrovision copyright protection anyway [no need for the digital stabilizer]. However, that said, If you ARE in fact playing a Macrovision protected VHS recording from you camcoder, it may work. But it looks like your order of hook-ups is a bit off though. You would want camcorder video OUT to Digital video stabilizer video IN, stabilizer video OUT to VC500 video IN, VC500 Video OUT to your PC. Windows Movie Maker MAY work or you will need a 3rd party program to process and store your recording. Whew!!! Verybestaluck to you!!

Yes you can record directly to a DVD. Or if you wish first to HDD, edit it, and then copy to DVD.

It's only easy if you have imovie 08, not imovie 6.There is a severe lack of cohesive documentation on how to edit movies from this camcorder. I've wasted sooo much time visiting various internet forums to find answers. Canon's support is hopeless and hard to believe they find their tech support site acceptable.

If you plan on publishing the video, I'd go up a notch in choice of mic. But I haven't given mine any kind of fair test, either. It does work with a 5200, I can say.

You should be able to. I only had this for a short time. See the review below. I bought this used DVD/VCR on line through Amazon. When I received it and tried it out, I found that when I played a VCR tape back the picture bounced around and sometimes the horizontal went out of sync. I returned the DVD/VCR for a prompt full refund. I only had this device for a short time. See a copy of my review below.

I do not have a camcorder but the manual for the software states that it can be used with a camcorder.

I believe you can use only software included unit (Black Magic recorder).Once movie is imported onto computer then you can use other software to edit at will.

I don't Know what type of tape the DCR-HC96 camcorder uses. I would go to the operating instructions for that camcorder which can be found at : https://docs.sony.com/release/DCRHC36-46-96.pdf

Out of the box, no. However, you can load CHDK, which is a third party firmware build that utilizes many features the camera is technically capable of, but that Canon did not build into an official firmware, including RAW format. This is the most recent generation of cameras that are CHDK compatible. http://lifehacker.com/387380/turn-your-point-and-shoot-into-a-super-camera

You have to purchase a separate SDHC memory card to insert into the device in order to record. Once footage is recorded, you then insert the same card into your computer to import the files created.

I have a JVC and use SDHC 32GB cards the camera has two slots. This gives me lots of time even shooting RAW and can be down loaded from the Camera or removing and using a PC Slot. from experiance use the Camera to Reformat after you down load so you can ensure full use of the memory card.

I own a HDR-HC1; yes, it works well with my old Maxwell SD tapes. HC3 is a dumbed down version of HC1; but hc1 is hard to get - they are all sold out.
