Hi, Check if it has the firewire port. If so, you can get a 4 pin firewire cable and connect to the PC and record/ download the videos using Windows Movie Maker.

4 pin firewire would look like this:

You can use the Movie maker to burn it to the Disk

Hi,
You could try VLC player to stream it online.

Works good for me :)

i think you are in picture mode when the screen mode is changed then it will appear black and recording cannot be done beeing in that mode you have to change the screen mode into recording mode and then continue

front switch microphone need full slide up or down not in meddle.
Tape some defective not recording sound
Handy cam not defective .

There is no problem on your camera, DCR-HC19E is PAL system(European system) DCR-HC20 is NTSC(American system). Are you in US or Europe? I think your TV is NTSC, cause the tape recorded on DCR-HC19E you played has no color. To confirm, connect your HC20 to TV in camera mode, not recording yet, just look at the TV as your monitor, If its in color, no problem, just erase the old video recorded on the HC19E, but if its important to you, you can convert it to NTSC using a PC. thanks

your CCD imager chip is damaged. Will require repair between $100-300 depending on shop.
