How to upload a video on the computer?

Question

Okay i'm able to upload pictures from my camera no problem. But for some reason i can not upload any videos i make from my camcorder to the computer?? My camcorder uses a DVD disc and everytime i take the disc out and try to run it on my computer i always get the same message that no disc can be found. Am i doing something wrong? The camera i use is a SONY HANDYCAM.

I am able to upload video's form my digital camera though but bad quality stuff. Please help.

Answer 1

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 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.

Answer 2

You need to finalise the disc in the camcorder before you can do anything with it.
