I have a Sony DCR-SR80 hard drive camcorder and want to use EMC9. How will I capture the video? I do not have EMC9 yet but do not want to buy it if it is not compatible.
Thanks. Tony |

With hard drive camcorders, you don't need capture software. The camcorder should show up in windows as an external hard drive device. Just copy the files to your hard drive using Windows Explorer. You may need to rename the file extension depending on what extension the Sony uses.

Depends on the extension as Gary indicated. VW accept a multitude of extensions but Sony is known for ignoring industry standards…
Try it and see! If you have problems, come back and post the details. -------------------- Dell 8300 3.0ghz 1.5gb RAM 300gb & 200gb HDs

However if Sony did like JVC and uses a non-standard extension like .MOD, then it will need to be renamed. The JVC camcorders use the standard MPEG 2 file format and I think it rather silly that they use an extension other than .MPG.

You didn't say anyting about the computer that you want to have V9 on. A lot of how it works depends on that and your video card/chip set up. Post your computer specs and well give you some advice other than to make sure all your device drivers are up to date. -------------------- Steve

Not using a GUI. You can always run a WinXP CMD
Click START / RUN and type in cmd navigate to the MOD files ren *.mod *.mpg There could be some 3rd party or shareware file managers that can rename multiple files. -------------------- Phenom X4 965 3.4Ghz, 4gig DDR3, Westinghouse 42" TV/monitor, Hitachi 1TB HD, Seagate 500GB, Philips-LiteOn DX20A6Q, Mad Dog 16XDVD9A2 (NEC3520A OEM), ATI HD3300 IGP, VIA HiDef audio with Logitech Z5500 THX certified 5.1 speakers, Epson 4490 scanner, Epson Stylus PhotoR1800 printer, Sharp AL1551CS laser printer/copier, Sony TRV740 8mm digital, Canon HV20 HDV camcorder and Fuji S7000 for still photos, Win7 Home Premium
