Why won't it save my video off handycam camera?

Question

ok i taped something for my project, and i need to save it to my computer in order to edit it and stuff, so how do i save it to my computer? i have it on one of those tiny dvd things, and i can hook up the camera through usb. there is no "save as" option in any of the programs i've opened it under and when i click "view as files" or whatever it's blank. so what do i do to save/edit it?

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.
