Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG9 digital movie camera; how to connect it to either a PC or to a HD DVD recorder for downloading movie shots and burning on a DVD. Do I need a special software or what? Because the instructions on the manual are not clear at all.
I always recommend having a version of your users manual on your computer, because it is so much easier to search through the manual quickly to find what you are looking for.
You can find a digital version of the users manual for the Sanyo CG9 here, and you will also find the free software for downloading videos to your computer and watching them there.
Once your videos are on your computer, you can burn a data disc without any commercial software. Some DIVX or XVID dvd players will play these data disks and you can watch your movies like that. An .MP4 data DVD will hold much more video than a standard DVD video disk because it squeezes it much tighter. You can play your .mp4 videos through a PS3 using a data dvd or a thumbdrive.
If you want to convert your mp4 videos to a standard dvd that will play in any dvd player, you will need commercial conversion software such as ULead MovieFactory or Nero Vision. MovieFactory was included with some sanyo camcorders, but if you have lost your disk, they do not allow you to download it from their website.
I hope that helps!

cannot download software for Zacti CG9 therefore cannot burn film to CD
I used ZoomBrowser.exe to download fotos and videos, as I couldn't find another compatible software. However all the videos appear as jpg and you cann't play them. They are treated as normal pictures.
