To all you video experts out there HELP!

I have a recently purchased Sony Handycam DCR-SR45 HDD video camera. I am having problems with my editing programme basically getting any video in there. All I can think of is the programme is too old. It was purchased for a DV tape camera and worked fine with that via a firewire connection. This new camera connects via USB and brings up a Sony PMB programme which I dont really like. I am used to my Pinnacle. Anyway my question is this. Is there a good simple editing programme out there I can utilise with this camera? Does anybody know if the latest Pinnacle programme will work with it? A lot I know but there is a lot of knowledge out there. I await in anticipation!

Thanks,

Terry.

have you tried out the windows movi maker? see how hat goes, also with the old program check to see if its got any updates or latest patches etc

Windows movie maker is good as milo says ,you will find it under accessories in you programs if you have xp service pack 2 or higher. you should have got a CD/DVD with your new Camera with software on it for capture and editing. If you didn,t contact your supplier. http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/tda20.html this is a great program for video

I'm still trying to get old 8mm movies onto CD/DVD, thought I had it cracked but the deal fell thru.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I have Windows Moviemaker, Pinnacle Editing Suite as well. I can get the video into the computer on a programme that came with the camera called Picture Motion Browser but I cannot get it across to those other programmes. Has me beat. to top it off I was experimenting with ways to get it across and somehow I deleted the whole lot from the computer and the camera. So now for the moment the problem is solved until I take more video of course. Think I will have to get in touch with Sony and see what they have to say. Thanks again, anymore ideas are welcome. Terry.
