Connecting and Downloading with the Sony DCR-HC38
I have been trying to figure out how to download my movie to my computer with my new Sony DCR-HC38 Camera with NO success. Here is the trick, you have to have a connect using FireWire. “But it came with a USB Cable?!”, I know, I said that a bunch at 12AM in the morning. Sony provides you with USB connectivity but it has NOTHING to do with downloading video to your computer! The only thing the USB cable is good for is downloading still pictures. After doing a ton of searching online, I finally figured that out. Crazyness. Well, I guess its a good thing. At least I wont be staying up any later to edit video. I can go to sleep now.
