Sony Handycam

Is there anyway to get the video onto the PC as a .WMV or other kind of movie file? Right now I am having to convert a dvd file into a .WMV. It's been almost an hour for it to go through 60% of a 12 minute video.

I filmed it in 16:9, and it seems like it is scrunching back into 4:3 even if I watch it before converting straight from the DVD

I cant even get it to play on a regular dvd

I know there has to be an easier way to get the video from the cam, edited and to a DVD. I don't have any software that came with it, so maybe there was something on there.

I don't think the average person could do it the way I am having to do it.

I can't help you...sorry!

I am trying to figure out how to get my dad's cassette tapes on my computer and burned to a CD.

Uhm, I wouldn't expect YOU to be able to :D


Buy a VHS/DVD Burner Combo. You pop in the DVD and VHS and it should do all the work for you. If you put it on a CD you will only be able to view it on your computer.

at UNT, the media departments have a cassette recorder hookup for the computers where you can grab stuff off of them if you have a media recorder...that's the only time I've been around something like that thogh

I was reading something about "Audacity sound editor"...I may play with that and see what happens!

that's all fine and dandy, but you're still needing a cassette player with computer hookups aren't you?

From what I am reading, I just hook the cassette tape player up to the computer using the line out jack and plugging it into the line in plug on the sound card.

oh wow...that would be cool then.

I have one of these things.
