Sony Digital Video Camera DCR-TRV120/TRV320?

Question

I made a short movie with it, and then tried uploading it to my HP. But the memory stick only holds 8MB, only enough memory for stills. How do I transfer the video to my computer and with what? I think I might of lost something, the camera is kinda old and my computers really new. Please help.

I need to turn the movie in for an assignment on this upcoming Tuesday.

Answer 1

DCR-TRV120/TRV320 is a digital vcam. For video capture, it must be connected to a pc thru firewire IEEE1394 (4/6 pin?) using a video capture or video editing* application....or usb connect if the vcam has no firewire port

Video Editing Process

for starters, free Windows Movie Maker* (XP-wmm2 & Vista-wmm6) provides simple & easy way to learn the ropes < click help for details>.

Steps:

CAPTURE VIDEO: video stream from tape-based Vcam

a.) Connect digi-8 vcam to pc via FIREWIRE

b.) Set vcam mode to playback, set for capture, pause

c.) Open wmm and set to TASKS pane

d.) Click Capture from video device; wmm controls vcam operations- on play, video stream is captured to wmm/COLLECTION

IMPORT FILES: from pc folder

e.) Import other video files

f.) Import other files: pics, music, narration

EDIT MOVIE: create project- movie

g.) Drag&drop video files from collection to TIMELINE chart below at the desired sequence

h.) Enhance movie: drag&drop music, effects, transition, filter; create titles…re-edit as you wish

FINISH MOVIE: render muvee file

i.) Render/Save MUVEE to pc and/ or share- CD; Save Project (work-in-progress) for future edits.

Finally, SHARE:

j.) Burn to DVD*** (wmm2 only on CD)

** Most video editing app include DVD authoring, otherwise, use DVD authoring programs, e.g., WinDVD, Nero,
