So I’ve had this cam for quite some time, and I’m wanting to start using it, but it has to use the DVD-R camcorder discs in order to record videos, when I use the SD card it only does pictures. So when I record a video with the disc I can’t figure out how to get the video onto my computer. I’ve tried a lot and can’t figure it out. Pleeeease help.

If you have a mini dvd camcorder….
You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer’s DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (I downloaded http://www.handbrake.fr/ or http://www.any-video-converter.com/downl… file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Usually you would import your videos and drop them in to the timeline, add transitions, menus, music, etc. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.
Once you have finished recording on your DVD you have to Finalse the disk you do this on your camera, through the menu. it now produces a disk that will play in most DVD players including the one on your computer.
put the DVD into your computer (do not do it unless you have a tray loading DVD drive, never do this if your dvd player is on its side or a slot that the dvd slides into)
open the dvd and look at the files/folders. There will be one called Video_TS copy that to your hard drive, providing your editing software will cope with the file formats you can edit them. if not you will have to convert them.
Go here for a converter its free and works well.

install and then you can use it to convert the video into almost any format you want.
Hope that helps
