How to download video from Sony DCR-HC62 Handycam?

I just got a new Sony DCR-HC62 Handycam and cannot figure out how to downlaod the video to my computer by the USN cable.

The program I downloded from their cd says that i.Link cannot find tape, but I don’t even have a i.Link cable.

Is their a simple way to get it with the USB cable?

With my Sony digital camera, when I plug in the USB cable and turn it on, it automatically question me if I want to download pictures, but nothing when I do it with Handycam.

Thanks much!

a miniDV vcam must be DV~Firewire400**-connected to pc to upload video thru video capture or video editing* application while vcam is ON PLAYBACK. Before cable purchase** check PC for DV port {VCAM@4pin=>firewireCABLE=>PC@4/ 6pin?}. If none, bed in firewire card: pci for desktop or pcmcia / express for laptop.

video editing process- Vista/wmm6
>>> open wmm- start/all programs/wmm->TASK pane
1. Import video stream** – editing software remotely controls vcam operations
2. Edit- drag/drop video files->timeline & enhance w/effects, transition, music & titles
3. Publish (render)- save Movie (OK for youTube), also, save Project.msmmw file
>>> Share=>auto-shifts to WindowsDvD authoring app->burn to DvD

Similarly: XP/wmm2- Capture/Edit/End- DvD authoring app, e.g.,DvD Flick or Nero

The Road


Image by Stephen Poff
So… two things… one this is a song that I wrote and performed about me and my lovely wife Tam. We had been through a lot during our ahead of schedule marraige and I wrote this song about how I missed the fun small road trips that we’d take when we were dating and we had no responsibilities.

Two… Don’t let anyone ever tell you that you can’t do something. This was shot on an olympus 5060 digital still camera at 320×240 resolution with no signal. I would shoot small clips and in anticipation of the card was full… download them and then shoot some more. I edited them all in Sony Vegas. This is my first edited video ever.

Everywhere I can download the driver for Sony Digital Video handycam Camera Recorder Model: – DCR-TVR 265E -Digital 8 SteadyShot USB Streaming + Usb driver

Why The Nook Upgrade Is A Huge Deal For The E-Reader Promote
That's right, I said e-readers. Right, it looks like a tablet, runs like a tablet, and delivers a lot of the value tablets deliver, but the Nook Color's 1.2 upgrade is really a foreshadowing of the future of e-readers, not the future of tablets.
