Well if you got the cam to work period with windows 7 you did good. I have yet to get the cam to even work like my other cams. Works best as a dummy cam. You get what you pay for and it's junk.

this camera is the 1st consumer grade camcorder ... about ... 2005 ... ironickly it orginizes video and audio differently than its competitors of the time .... it can record on 8mm , hi-8 , digital 8 ....and read back its info. BUT NO .... if you recorded on a camcorder ....say .... the SAMSUNG SCL901 ... (another old camera) IT WILL NOT PLAY ON THE SONY DCR-TRV280 !!! try google in image mode to find the old cameras of the time , find the name of the old camera , and search for it in amazon.com ...or... E-bay ... or graiglist... or other such as garage sale or street flea market or street fair exetera ... if you do find a camera that'll play your old tape please transfer to dvd via computer....(DVD recorders aren't made enymore!!!) if its of HISTORICAL value , documtery value or of DIARY (family value)

Yes you may, but playback will only excite if playback or veiwer app used supports the format that movie file was saved in or converted to.

I have never been able to get the camera to record more than a few seconds of video. I have not taken the time to figure it out. I think that I should not HAVE to figure it out. You put in an SD card, you record, you replay, you're happy! Not this one.

NO, it records, but does not function as a player. You will be able to preview what you compose before recording

I am having the same problem. It's saying something about playback might not be a feature on the DVD. Is there anything we can do to fix it?

Are you talking about 720p and 1080p (yes). If not you must mean frequency signal then no. I have mine for 7 months now and it works great. Read the manual this camcorder has a lot to offer.

I'm pretty sure the device supports mp4 videos and also, the video quality either stays the same or gets better. I was very impressed by the videoplay!

Yes. that would be correct. Just need to make sure that your camcorder is able to rewrite as some do not.

Yes it does, The camcorder comes with its Sony Software that allows you to view and save all the recorded footage on to your computer, external hard drive or flash drive.

Thanks again david.I remember reading some of the flash based camcorders record on .MOD files, which are somewhat hard to work with.This will be my first camcorder purchase in a long while (my last was a sony digital-8...), so your advice is well needed and appreciated.

No issues with mine. Very good video and sound. Rarely use my nice digital camcorder anymore.
