I have windows vista I will not downgrade it will void my warrnty. P.S. I know how to use editing software and I already have handbrake.

Answer 1

Make sure you've finalised the disk in the camcorder before you try and play it.  Once it's finalised you can't record any more on it though!

Answer 2

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 handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.
