Vista Movie Maker and my Digital Video Camera

It's up to JVC to make their products work with Vista. Have you checked to
see if they have Vista compatible drivers and software?

Dear friend!

I understand your problem and I think I can help.

Well sometimes it can be really hard even impossible to collect videos
straight from your camera. I mean especially when you don't have one of the
latest computer with a C.P.U over 3 Ghz or when you do not have enough ram
but don't worry I got a solution for you.

FIRST : Collect your video camera using your USB wire ( you should be able
to see an icon on your control panel. )

SECOND : Go to the Video folder and now created a new file wich you can give
the tittle of your choice "Exp My 2 Weeks Vacation in Europe
!!! 2007"
When it's done just minimize your page.

THIRD : Go back to the control panel and click on the icon of you camera.
"You should see all the available videos.
Just copy than go back to the file you just created and past.
I sure hope you got a big hard disk. . .maybe more than one or at least more
than one partition.
So I suggest you "if that is possible to you" not to put this file on the
partition C. This operation may takes a few minutes to complete but you will
find this much more easier to do whatever you want with your videos using
Windows Movie Maker.

I sure hope you got enough ram on your computer because both Windows Vista
and Movie Maker needs a lot of ram. . .I mean sometimes 1 GB is not enough. .
..hard to believe but I've made a test and now I got 2 GB and I never had so
much fun working with Movie Maker. I mean I can make a video in half the time
even with a lot of special effects and stuff.

I hope this can be helpful to you.

Friendly Jeffray L

P.S: Sorry for my english!!!

I have a SONY DCR HC30 that connects to my SONY VAIO with a USB 2. I, too,
cannot upload video to Windows Movie Maker. The PC doesn't have a firewire
port, but came with the pre installed VISTA software the seems to require it.

Perhaps I'm naive, but this seems to be a blunder. Isn't VISTA all about
home video and music use? I'm not using anything obscure.

If someone hears of a patch, please let me know ...

Sony will have to provide you with a driver for your specific camera in order to
import video using USB. Check with Sony.

Sony's MPEG2 format seems to be the culprit.

I have the same problem I have a Sony TVR250. I can not download to any
program. I have not invested in the I-link cord. Sony does not have any new
drivers. I have checked for the last month. If anyone has any other
suggestion please let us know......

I had no problems with XP. Only when I tried to use Vista I started getting
the problem!!

Do you reckon upgrading to Windows 7 will work?
