Answer 1

Save them first from the camera software to your hard drive. This should work. If not, write me.

Answer 2

Are you using the software that came with the camera?? Check with Samsung support. Follow the link below>>>>

Answer 3

It sounds like a codec problem. Make sure you've installed everything you need from the camera's CD, and/or try grabbing the K-Lite Codec Pack: http://www.free-codecs.com/K_lite_codec_...

Answer 4

If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder….

Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder.
