Using the video capture setting, I've recorded various shot videos in the past with no problems. Two days ago I found it necessary to shoot longer footage. Several films were only 2 minutes or less. When transferred to my computer, they played perfectly on every player I have (winamp, Windows Media, etc.) However, then I shot two films which were so long that they filled the entire SD cards. One of these films were shot on the same card as the other films which do work. Another card was reserved for another film, all by itself. Both cards were 2gb, allowing the films to last in excess of 10 minutes. These two films would play on the camera, but will not play on my computer. Opening them, windows media says it cannot recognize the codec used to compress them. Winamp and VLC media player give no explanations at all. Has anyone else experienced anything like this and found a solution? These films were long because they are very important, and I need to resolve this quickly.
The USB streaming driver for the Camcorder is not available
for Windows 7 OS from Sony at this point. Hence it is not possible to transfer
videos using USB interface. You may use i.LINK or A/V interface to transfer
videos from the Camcorder to the Computer which is running on Windows 7
Operating System.
Please
follow the steps to transfer video to a computer using an i.LINK connection
(IEEE 1394).
IMPORTANT: Video capture software and a compatible video capture card must
be installed on the computer. Depending on the computer manufacturer, various
video capture cards and software (Adobe Premiere, Roxio Video Wave, Microsoft
Windows Movie Maker, etc.) may be available or already installed on your
computer. If necessary, contact the manufacturer of your computer for further
information.
NOTE: Many Sony VAIO computers are bundled with Sony DVgate Motion or DVgate
Plus software for video capturing. Some VAIO computers also include Click To
DVD software that will allow video capture to the computer hard drive or
directly to a DVD.
NOTE: The computer i.LINK ports and capture cards
may have either 4-pin or 6-pin connections. Sony digital camcorders use i.LINK
ports with 4 pins. If your computer only has a 6-pin i.LINK port, then it will
be necessary to use a 4-pin to 6-pin i.LINK cable.
It should now be possible to copy the video using
the video capture software if the computer hardware and software are configured
correctly.
