You need a firewire to go from the camera to the computer and the computer needs to have the correct plugin to use the firewire. Most computers do not have this capability (plugin port). Our son had added it to our computer and provided me with the necessary program (Nero 8) to copy videos. No software for this video camera have to do it the long way. You can consult like Best Buy's GEEK Squad or someone with that knowledge, we just happen to have a computer guy in the family. Be very careful the PINS on the plug-in on the camera BEND VERY easy and then you cannot do anything!! Hope this helps.:) You need a firewire to go from the camera to the computer and the computer needs to have the correct plugin to use the firewire.

I used the USB cable that came with my Cannon Vixia and plugged it into my iMac. Then a disc image appears on the desktop. You can drag and drop the videos on the desktop, or have iMovie or quicktime etc to import the movies. Youtube has many tutorials about things like this, so check them out.

The GL2 has a firewire out. If you don't have a dv vcr you can use the camera through the firewire port to import the video. Play through the camera and use your editing program to import

I was googling for the same info since I have one to try out and both your question and the link below came up in my search. Since yours hasn't been answered yet, I figured I would repost the link (both win/max instructions) here: http://www.aunsoft.com/convert_sony_dsc-tx7_avchd_mts_to_final_cut_pro/ Note that I still haven't really tried this yet, since this isn't my camera for keeps, I just have the video files on my flash card so I'm really looking for software to pull from the card/disk directly, not the CD that came with the camera or this other add-on product they describe.

You would use a FireWire cable and import the video using video editing software.

Load the program (from the disc that comes with the camera) into your computer. Make sure your camera battery is fully charged. Then connect the camera to your computer with the included USB cord. The program should open automatically, and is pretty self explanatory at that point.

I agree go with Cyberlink Power Director 7 (there DVD menu maker not very good, however have not tried latest); I have bought each edition since the 3rd edition; Pinnacle still a little buggy and slow; there is a software called Muvee that you put in pictures or film, pick a style and easy movie

I dont own one of these cameras but Im currently borrowing one from a friend, its the 8gb newest generation. I take my video, plug it into my Macbook pro, go to iMovie, click "import video from camera" and im done.

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.

Hi there. You plug it into a USB port on your computer. The bottom of the camera slides open and USB connector pops out. Hope this helps.

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply. The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

I use Pinnacle Studio 12 ( acutally it's 12.1 - the Ultimate version ) and it works pretty well with my Quad Core computer and a good video card for editing AVCHD footage from this camera. I'm very pleased.Tony

You will need a piece of software like pinnacle studio, and probably a composite to USB converter (I recall having issues with drivers in Windows 7).

Hi, I plug the video and sound feed from the receiver that comes with the camera to a Sony model #VRD-MC5 DVD recorder which burns the feed right to a DVD disc. From there I can go to my computer to edit the video. Sony stopped making these recorders but I found mine on eBay used. What is really nice about this Sony recorder is the small monitor screen it has so you can see what you are recording. Hope this helps and I'd be happy to try to answer any other questions. Regards, Paul

Probably not. I've had two Sony camcorders, and both have come with software and cables for importing video from the camera onto a computer. Using the appropriate software and connection that Sony provided will be much faster for importing video, as this device is only capturing the signal as fast as it is played (like a VCR). My older camcorder connected to a firewire port (also known as IEEE 1394) which is not always found in newer laptops/pcs, so if you were desperate, you could use the ION. My newer one uses PMB software and the camera connects to a USB 2.0 port. In some cases, you can save to a memory stick and then use a card reader on your pc for the memory stick.
