My question about Sony Handy cam TRV480E to connect to computer?

Question

I want to load my videos on to computer, is it possible with USB port or no if yes how can i do it

i use key "burn to CD" but i cant do it because at the end of capturing it warns me there is no CD altough it is a cd in my computer

Answer 1

The Sony DCR-TRV480 is a miniDV tape based camcorder.

Video transfer using USB will not work.

Video transfer using Firewire (i.Link, IEEE1394a are all the same thing. You need to add a firewire 400 port to your computer.

If you have only a CD drive in your computer, you will probably want to get a DVD-writable drive so you can burn DVD videos. CD video quality is not very good because it is compressed a LOT.
