I got picture package version 1.8.1 for DVD Handycam DCR DVD 805 which is not compatible to windows 7. Please advise

Hi Dinesh,

An even better alternative to picture package is the PMB (Picture Motion Browser)
Please find the download link below to download the software and follow instructions.

Hope this helps ..:) Your feed back would be appreciated.

This camera was no doubt made before your camcorder was released.

I found this on the tech support page for it:

"(4) The supplied software (Picture Package), which is required for importing movies, is not compatible with Windows 7. Instead, please download and use PMB Ver.5.6.01 which is compatible with Windows 7 (except for Starter)."

This should solve your problem. Be sure to read through the page and follow the instructions carefully.

Hi,

The supplied Picture Package Software is not compatible with the Windows 7 Operating System. The USB Streaming option in the Camcorder is also not compatible with the Windows 7 Operating System, Hence it is required to use the i.LINK or A/V cable for transferring the videos using the Windows Live Movie Maker. The latest Software, Picture Motion Browser Software is compatible with the Windows Vista and 7 Operating System, but is only used for playing back the videos or for editing. To transfer the videos you've to use the i.LINK cable or A/V cable along with the Windows Movie Maker. This is the easy method of transferring the videos. You will also get a better video quality when using the i.LINK cable as compared to the USB cable.

Thanks for using FixYa.

You will need a firewire cable tro connect to the PC and use Windows Movie Maker to capture the tapes to a hard drive, dedicated hard drive is best. Expoect about 13 gig of drive space per hour.
You then export you footage to a DVD Authoring program if you have one available.

hello.
this may work with your windows 7 install.
have you seen this page?

http://support.sony-europe.com/dime/downloads/downloads.aspx?site=odw_en_GB&f=ppckg_uninstll

and under "overview features" it says:
"Picture Package" and "ImageMixer Ver.1.5" supplied with Cyber-shot or Handycam are not compatible with Windows Vista. For users who have accidentally installed these software into Windows Vista, we are offering "Picture Package Uninstaller" as the uninstallation tool."

again this MIGHT work with your windows 7 install.

also you might try the compatibility mode:
Right click the shortcut you use to start the program and select the compatibility tab for you options.there.
