Help with Hitachi DZ-GX5100E camcorder!!?

Question

I've recorded videos on my camera but can't put them onto my computer. I've tried using the USB cable and putting the disc into the computer but I can't get the footage. I've tried in both formats too!

Thanks!!

Answer 1

DVD based camcorder.

Hopefully your computer has a Drawer loading DVD drive. If yes, download and install HanBrake

and rip the video from the DVD to a format your video editor can use.

If your computer's optical drive does CDs only - or there is not optical drive - or the optical drive is slot loading, you need to get an analog/digital bridge like

Since you did not tell us what computer or operating system or video editor you are using, additional detail to help you is not possible.
