Another question! Will this software except standard DV (not HD) from my old Sony DV camcorder?

I don't know but I suggest that you either call or chat with Corel or try out their software on the trial basis. Good Luck!

Yes but it's an old version with questionable authenticity. Whatever the software was that I used that came with it was also an old version (very old, like version 2 when the most recent version is 7 or 8) but worked flawlessly to capture over 50 hours of video.

The HD camera takes videos in the AVI format,but the format is not typical AVI.I use a video converter to make the videos usable in making a DVD. The Bushnell site has a phone number that you could call for an answer to your question. I use the Sony Vegas Movie Studio to render a DVD.

Sorry, but I can't answer this question. My own experience with this camera was really bad...too late to return, I learned that no software other than very high end and expensive software worked. I wound up bringing it to a camera shop to get my videos onto discs...quite expensive. I ultimately gave it to a friend who had Adobe Photoshop and she connects it directly to her TV for viewing, but has never been able to move videos onto discs. Be sure you get ALL information, especially information not included by Sony. Download the manual, read every word before making the purchase. Good luck

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)

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that as I have Windows 7. I do, however, love this DVR!! In my Sweet Adeline chorus it functions better than the Sony's or RCA's. I did extensive research and learned a lot by reading through hundreds of reviews. Hope that's helpful!

Yes but you might need an adaptor. Contact Sony. You download right from the camcorder or take out the sd card and put it into your computer just like any other sd card. They work in Mac and pc

Yes you can use with older FCP or any digital editing system using QuickTime or AVI. You can select HD (mpeg2) or SD (DV). SD bit rate of 60i at a resolution of 720x480 and aspect ratios 4:3 or 16:9. Recording on two SDHC removable chips. I hoped that helps you. Greg

Hi Joe,I had a previous Sony camcorder with AVCHD compatibility and I was able to convert the file to a MOV. file with no problem. I don't recall off-hand how I did that, though. With the Canon, I wasn't able to see any footage in AVCHD if I plugged in the SD card. Other users might have had better luck than me. There might be a way to convert the footage so it works in iMovie. I'm sure there are apps on the Internet that might work. I hope this helps. Thanks.

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.

Yes though you may receive a weird message stating that some footage may not record properly. Never had an issue though. If it pops up inaccurate format simply remove the card (while cam is on) and put it back in. Should fix the problem

Not sure Thomas, I returned the system due to some issues with exporting footage of the DVR. However, when I was testing this system, it did seem like as long as you had a long enough cable, the system captures (but not exports) fine.

"software" appears to be an OLD windows generic video cam driver from MicroSoft so it might be worth a try to use the one that MS builds for Win 8 instead of the older one that they package with their product?

check sony, jvc, canon etc any camcorder that has the hdmi output can be used with this product

Yes, the best results will be if you have a compatible Sony camcorder as you will be able to do many copy features via automation. Inputs available - DV (firewire), S-Video, composite video and stereo audio. NO HDMI input. If the camcorder is non-Sony you can still select your inputs from the menu but the camcorder will not automatically drive the DVD Recorder VRDMC5. See ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9BHCUnmTQ

This DVR is primarily for security camera recording and that is all the software supports. It does not support video stream such as mp4 and DIVX from another video source.

The "Software" only runs on Microsoft Windows PC's. However, I think you are asking if the video and picture formats that the camera records are compatible with any standard 3D HDTV. Yes, Sony camera uses the regular AVCHD video format, and DCIM folder for jpeg pictures. (Which I know Samsung's with usb ports or SD slots can view) The HDMI cable will show 3D if your TV is 3D, and it does show 2D video if the TV doesn't support 3D.
