Hi All,

New equipment:
Sony Handycam DCR SR45 Hybrid HDD - two weeks old

What is the procedure in capturing the vdo from the above camera?

I see I have dowloaded the data in a MPEG file in MyDocuments

That's as far as I'm able to go as the Director is not 'capturing' the file.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my request.

I've finally solved the problem.

I called Sony and got a real live person........Sony Rocks, the reason I buy their products.

Solution:

1. The camera has to be plugged in or the battery will not provide enough power for detection.

2. The USB cable must be plugged in to the rear of the case. Apparently, the front connections don't always work although I have plugged lots of peripherals without problems......go figure.

3. Open My computer and find the file, paste it to a folder of your choice.

4. Open Power Director and click File>Import>Media File

For some reason the software will not recognize the drive

Hopes this helps someone else with the same problem.
