How do I get saved video on HD camcorder into EMC9? I have tried and tried and just cannot break the code.
Vista Home Premium. Gateway laptop. EMC9. Panasonic SDR-H60 camera.
I have video recorded on the camera's HD. Connect the camera's USB cable to computer. Camera HD is recognized in Vista and given a drive letter. But I cannot find any way to get EMC to pull the video off the camera so I can work with it.
Sorry to be a newbie on this (but am very computer literate). Looked through forums but didn't see this explained, nor does the things in the Help give me a clue. Any help most appreciated.

You don't say what version of EMC9 you have so I'll assume it's the retail version. Use the Media Import function and it's 'Video' tab to capture from your camcorder.

Have you looked at the files in the camcorder drive letter using Windows Explorer or whatever its called under Vista? You should be able to just copy those video files to your PC and then add them in Videowave.

Beerman, the cover of the CD says "Easy Media Creator 9 Suite, Your music, memories, movies, and more, any way you want"--nothing about retail or otherwise. Inside the clamsheel holder is the key and pn 150196-00EU EMC 9 SUITE/EU.
In the Media Import function, the camera does not show in the popdown for "select a device or source to import from," BUT the camera has been seen by Vista and DOES have a drive letter. So I don't understand why EMC is not "seeing" it.
myguggi, I cannot look at the file structure on the camera right now because it is disconnected and back in its box--but as I recall from a brief look before, there are multiple folders containing multiple files with multiple extensions. I don't know how I would figure out which set represented a given sequence of scenes, etc. In other words how to know what pieces to grab and copy onto C:. Even after doing that, how do you get those "into" EMC?
Will check back 9-20-08 after 1330 EDT US.

Could you give an example of a folder and the files in that folder? Are they anything at all like the folders on a video DVD?
I have no experience at all with hard drive camcorders and I hope somebody jumps in who familiar with transfering video from such a device to a PC. I still prefer digital tape camcorders since they give better video quality.

Make a folder, on your hard drive, then copy ALL of the folders on your camcorders hard drive, to the folder you just made.
Life is good!
