Hi Dan, you can connect the camcorder to a computer via USB cable. From this link, https://docs.sony.com/release/HDR-CX250_CX260V_CX580V_PJ260_PJ260V_PJ580_PJ580V_PJ600_PJ600V_XR260V_guide_EN.pdf ,on page 174, youll find information on setting the camcorder for USB transfer. -Vincent

No, only Windows LIVE Movie Maker which is only compatible with Vista or 7, NOT XP. BUT it is FREE.

I don't know what you mean. Specifically what are you trying to do? I have videos on my computer (Windows 7) and can watch them without a problem but they were orginally downloaded on a Windows XP machine and then transferred when I bought a new computer.

When you plug the usb cable from camera to USB. There is a button that you press on the camera (top left button...sorry forgot the name). It's the button when you open the screen, buttons are on the body of the camera. then on the display it will give you the option to select where you want to view/edit files. select which memory (memory card a, b or internal). I usually select all by touching that option on the touch screen. Then your computer will read it as a memory card/thumb drive/external drive. You can now save onto you pc.

Hi Caitlin, Sony CCDTRV57 Analog Camcorder can't be connected to a computer to transfer or copy videos recorded by it. -Vincent

I have the same problem and it can be resolved by connecting the camcorder to the computer using usb. It will enable more features including video (AVCHD). It works both on XP and Windows 7 x64.

You are going to have to download movie files to a computer and use an editor program like iMovie, etc. or just drop the entire movie file into a cd from your computer.

I've been using Windows movie maker and I just import the file into the program.

Sure. Just connect the camera to the computer and the app will import the video.

if the camcorder has a S-video or composite RCA output it should capture the video to your PC and then you can copy the saved digital file to a SD card

The file format the camera uses is .MOD It is nothing more than a .mpeg file. When you find the camera and it's SD files tagged .MOD in "My Computer", change the file type from .MOD to .mpeg and import it into an editing program that accepts .mpeg files and start editing...OR....you could download and try/use "MPEG Video Wizard DVD". Been using it for quite sometime. Excellent editor and it doesn't care if the camera files are named .MOD....it will import them and output them without recoding so there is no quality loss. Try either method above but do not use the software that came with the camera....it is NFG. The file format the camera uses is .MOD It is nothing more than a .mpeg file.

Hi William,to transfer files to the computer, you would need to turn on the camcorder. A USB connected or Mass Storage message will show on the LCD display once camera is recognized. We suggest using PlayMemories Home for faster import and edit of files. Thanks_Mitch

I think I had a hard time as well. I tried to view the video from the camera and it didn't work, so I fooled around with it to transfer the video onto my computer and it did work. It took a long time. I couldn't tell you how, I just saved under a bunch files and found one that worked. Hope this helps.

You shouldn't need this at all to connect your handycam to your PC. There should be a USB or Firewire cable that came with your camera that connects right to your computer. Then you can open up Windows Live Movie Maker (download it if you don't have it, it's free) and import the video right from the camera. Only reason you'd need this is if for some reason you don't have that cable or your computer doesnt have a firewire port and that's the only thing the camera uses to connect to the PC. This is an analog solution and it's never going to be as good quality as the video you can get by copying the contents of the camera right to the computer.

Try using some other video editing program other than the Movie Maker. If you can't find any other program, try changing the mp4 file format to avi format and see if that works.
