Canon Video Cameras - Page 5 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

you can use software to capture it on your computer and burn a DVD, or there are services that will do it for you for a reasonable price.

Most large cities have them or you can us an online service.

I would expect bad electrolytic capacitors from the symptoms you are mentioning. Can you connect it to an external monitor to see if the rest is functioning and that maybe you just have a bad monitor on the unit?

If the iris is opening to let light in, that light is not being changed to a picture signal or that picture signal is not going into the camera circuits, What you see in the viewfinder is what is being recorded, Make sure that no cables have been left plugged in to the camera and turn the power on and off several times, I have seen the iris stick when cameras were not used for a while. The iris is inside or behind the lens and closes completely when you turn the camera off, If it is stuck, SOMETIMES it will open with repeated tries of turning it off and on or even removing the battery and putting it back in. And maybe it is just the vibration of opening and closing the battery compartment door or the slight vibrations of pushing the power button repeatedly. If it sticks once, it will stick again. This is not a repair, just a way to get those one time pictures' before.

Why not just use the computer's own DVD drive ?
