I just bought this new camera and thought that my computer would recogize it. I just spoke to tech. support and they said that the cameras that have a hard disk drive are not recognized and he suggested that I post a message. Does anyone have this type of camera? And what did you do to get the computer to recogize it.
I have the DCR-100, same problem. I just copy the data to my computer, I convert it to DV using, I think it is called mpeg streamclip. I think Qtime Pro will convert it also. Just google for converting mpeg, you will find lots of free choices. We should have bought one with a tape!!!!

Close. You need the MPEG-2 plugin for Quicktime ($20) and MPEG Streamclip. Quicktime Pro cannot do it, even with the MPEG-2 plugin. Or use Visualhub ($), DVDxDV ($$), Toast ($$$), etc.
I made the mistake of buying a Sony HDD-camcorder, too. Unfortunately it's too late to bring it back to the dealer, so I am considering buying the Capty-Software from PIXELA as proposed at the Sony manual. As there is no real support from this company, I don't really trust it. Plus: I'm a beginner and don't even understand what Capty MPEG Edit and Capty DVD/VCD exactly do. Another software they offer for Mac is the ImageMixer. Does anybody know the software? Is it worth almost 100 EUR? Will it export to iMovie-readable files? In what quality?
I own a PC, too, but I would much rather use the Mac for editing and DVD-burning, not only because the PC doesn't have a DVD-burner. I'm still thinking about selling the "handy"cam on ebay, but I still have to do somethng with the existing 25 GB of film.
I mad a mistake too my camera is dcr-sr80 is not compatible for MAC ,only if spand a lot money on new updates still not working .I bought this camera on best buy ,I will never buy anything from them anymore .You sugest before if I have mpeg -2 for plugin in would work ?
