Downloading movies to computer: Does anyone else experience this problem, or is it a problem with my video camera?

Is your HDrive on your computer formatted to FAT32? Reformat your HDrive to NTFS. Take note that each time your downloads breaks down it is an exact amount of time, each time.

Never had that problem.. I did not update firmware due to me wanting to not have the crappy cineV junk on it. Are you sure the firmware update is not the reason? How was it playing before that update? If it was playing ok before then I would try to download the firmware again if you are able to.

I have never had the problem you have described. Try pulling out the memory card. You may have a bad card.

I have an iMac, and have had trouble downloading the videos too! iMovie, iDVD and the enclosed software don't work. I can get the stills, but not the video! argggh!Gretchen

You are so welcome. I have copied almost 75 vhs tapes and haven't had a single problem. The downside is that when I start the movie, I end up stopping what I am doing so I can watch it while it records. Have fun!

No I haven't run across that problem. I've watched movies off of DVDs and downloads. But I don't use IE. I use Microsoft Media PlAyer or Divix.

I have always selected the option to not format the card and have had no trouble with recording images and video, as well as downloading those images to my computer. Not sure if that helps at all.

Oh gosh I wish I could help. I don't even have the same computer anymore, so I no longer have the zip file. I do remember spending 2 days to get it straightened out. I would buy a new camera before going through that again. I see some good deals on newer cameras. Good luck!!

I own a Sony Digital Video Camera Recorder, also known as a Digital Handy Cam, and have transferred movies from it to disc without a problem. The camera uses Digital Video Cassettes labeled as DV. Hope this helps. Good luck.

The problem may be the application you are using to view that video. I have found the the free program "VLC" works well.

Ours has never had a loss of video quality after many many hours of movies. I suggest contacting Sony it is not worth the risk of poor quality video

It would make it unusable for just about anybody Don, so I don't expect that to be the case. The video is stored on the flash memory card in the camera as with the photographs. Just as you can download the photographs to a suitable host (PC), you will be able to download the movies. My most recent experience of a Canon camera was the SD980 but it was certainly the case with that item, and the 720P video from it looked great on my laptop.

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

I think it depends on the movie player you're using. I have mixed experiences, but most of my movie players can adjust the sync in manual also, so that's not a real problem.

Funny thing ....easier to download than to finder once you have in it ... download it on the computer. Make sure the mp4 is connected to the computer so you can then transfer your files to the mp4..once you finish check under videos ..or music under record...have fun .

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.
