I used the trial with no problems, but on buying the full version all I get is modd, moff and m2ts - no mpeg - which means no files are recognised so nothing can be opened, am I missing a codec or a file that will bring this back into line.

open up control panel,add remove programs,and delete xvid codec. that will fix your problems as there is a conflict between Sony codec and xvid codec.

Deleting these modd files??

For every recording a modd file comes with it, as they are separate files they become annoying when selecting videos and editing.

What happens when you delete them? Or does it matter?

Thanks

Drop "*.m2ts" file into converter.

Premiere Pro by adobe recognizes Sony files, audio and video. A friend of mine has the program and I am able to do all the editing I need. Simply drag and drop - high definition or regular definition. Very easy to do.

Please help: I have a New Sony digital video camcorder.

I am using Sony's PMB software version 4.2 to import my videos to my PC. I am able to burn copies to a DVD and I am able to edit video clips.

The problem that I am having is how to combine the actual media files. For example, I edited (1) video into (14) separate media files. I now want to combine the (14) media files into one revised video. Once completed, I will upload to YouTube.

Please provide assistance on how to combine media files using PMB. Thankyou

I bought a DCR-SR42E so I can import every video to the computer and play it in the PICTURE MOTION BROWSER, but when I open the videos from the folder they are saved in the windows media player I can`t see any image and just sound, can someone help me please?

Mark,

You should have no problem using Windows MovieMaker to do what you need. If you've already converted it into the WMV format (I use WMConverter to do this- it's free).

Then you do the usual Windows MovieMaker stuff to edit your movie- Personally, I avoid PMB because it never works, but my PC has low RAM so maybe I shouldn't be too adventurous with editing.

Good luck!

I finally got it to work after a lot of searching.

First I went to downloads.com and downloaded/installed the Corel VideoStudio Pro X2 30-day trial (http://download.cnet.com/Corel-VideoStudio-Pro/3000-13631_4-10029706.html?tag=mncol). It's a pain that it's a trial, but I just re-download every 30 days. Corel can play the video on its own, but there is no sound.

Then go to www.free-codecs.com and download the K-lite Codec pack 4.7.5 FULL (K-Lite Codec at www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm).

When installing the codec, you will see a 'select additional tasks' page. Make sure you select to make file associations for Windows Media Player. This will allow you to play the file in WMP.

This codec pack makes the file .mpeg, and WMM is unable to load the video file. Open Corel Video Studio and load your file. The sound should accompany the video in the import.

I realize that many people like WMM; however, I like the features of Corel.

Hope this helps!

I should probably read all of the comments but if someone would explain to me what a .modd file and a .moff file is I would appreciate it. I downloaded my Sony videocam and got the video plus these two files. I used to just get the video and I don't know if I should delete the .modd and .moff files.

Hi - I have converted a couple of files to .wmv using the converter but the quality is noticeably inferior compared to watching it though PMB.

Can anyone recommend a format to save it to and a means of keeping the same quality. I want to be able to play the movies through Windows Media Player. I've got 312 shorts to convert, taking up 10gb. I don't mind using all that space still if I can just maintain the quality.

Thanks

This works for me and is easy! I'm using Sony PMB with Windows Movie Maker (came w/Vista Home on my HP laptop).

Directions:
1. Connect Sony camera via USB to computer (I am using a Sony TG1 (uses Memory Stick memory). This automatically launches a PMB screen asking to import files from the camera. Import the files you want.
2. Open Windows Movie Maker. Select "Import Media Items" from the File menu.
3. Find your imported files from User/Pictures directory (where PMB imports them to).
4. Edit with Movie Maker and create a DVD, etc.

Note that I have only tried this with SD (720) files created by my camera. I will be trying HD later.

I spent several days trying to create my daughter's wedding DVD with PMB, which worked itermittently. I also downloaded trial versions of Sony Vegas 9.0 (crashed repeatedly), Pinnacle Studio 12 (pegged my CPU on a 2.0 dual core 4GB RAM laptop), and Ulead (forget now what the problem was).

But with PMB as my file import program, and Movie Maker as my editor and DVD burning software, I'm having great success.

Give it a try!

Has anyone out there solved the problem of getting Roxio's Creator 2009 to recognize the Dolby Digital audio portion of the MPEG2 video file created by Sony cameras like my DCR-SR300 with a hard drive?

It too creates MODD file for every MPEG2 file, but it never has bothered me before...before I bought Roxio's newest product. There has never been a problem with their older Easy Media Creator products. I would appreciate any advise someone may have.

Your Sony software that came with your camera installs several different applications. You need to go to the application called PMB picture motion browser. The desktop icon looks like and arrow pointing up to some pictures and color bars on the right in the background.

Sometimes this application does not create a desktop icon. If you don't have this icon go to your program files and look in "Sony" you should find it there.

Once you launch this program it will do everything you need including an AVCHD to MPEG2 converter which will allow you to edit your files an most edit programs that don't support AVCHD.

HI...I went a website (cccp-project.net) and downloaded the codecs and now I hear audio when using media player. That is great - solves my problem. But, looking at the logo I am concerned that I may have downloaded something questionable? Has anyone downloaded the codec from here and have you had any problems?

I have a Sony Handcam DCR-SR42E and I was wanting to download software that will enable me to change the image size of my still images, once I load them onto a computer.

This model handy-cam doesn't allow you to change the still image setting up from .3m & I need to enlarge the image size before I use them in my project.

Hi, I think I may have made a big booboo. I somehow deleted the .mpeg but am left with the .modd files. Is there anyway to retrieve the video I seem to have deleted. When I deleted it said it was too big for the recycle bin. I'm pretty sure I can't get the videos back now but if anyone knows anything please please help! :)

I downloaded a movie to my computer and used studio 9 to edit it but there was no sound. There are moff and modd files included in the movie file. What do I have to do so I can use studio 9 to edit and burn my dvd? And how to do it?

I loaded all the files directly from my camera into my computer, ignoring PMB. Ignoring the .modd files, I selected and successfully batch converted only the .m2ts files to HD .avi using the AVS video converter 6. No problems with sound. It takes a while but it is hands off. Many video editors have big problems with .m2ts files and this was a successful work around for me. It makes background conversion in the video editor quite a bit faster.

As Sharyn said, modd files should be ignored. People unable to get sound out of the m2ts files, probably don't have a suitable DD audio codec. Super C will convert your m2ts files to AVI for free and has all the codecs it needs when you d/l it. TMPGEnc can do it, if you don't mind buying software, but you'll still get audio problems if you don't have a suitable codec installed.

I am almost in tears. Wasting good blank dvd's trying to copy from Sony PMB my Praise Dance rehearsal. It gets to the point of saying "writing to disc" and then never moves past 50%. I left it on overnight and it was still in the same darn spot. Then when I tried to close it and stop the program, it took forever, like over 4 hours TO STOP WRITING TO DISC...this is ridiculous and the odd part is I have successfully used this program and made dvd's before. Is there any other way to copy and make a dvd other than this?

I've had my Sony DCR SR42 for 2 years and NEVER had a problem downloading or burning discs using the Pict Motion Browser.

On Sunday I downloaded recent video and tried to play the clips through the PMB by clicking on the clips and got the broken icon and cannot see or hear the video.

Tried to view through Window Media Player and had a message saying that there was an error downloading a codec.

Downloaded Sonic CinePlayer DVD pack from Roxio and now I get the sound but NOT the PIC in WMP - but I still can't see or hear the clip in Motion Picture Browser - still getting broken icon.

I'm totally lost...how can I fix this?

I'm running XP Home Edition Win Media Player 11. I don't know what happened. What is interesting is that I can download video from my Kodak camera and view through the Kodak software and through Quicktime. I Never had a problem with the Sony Software before...PLEASE Help...need to get up and running before Santa comes to see the kiddies for Christmas Eve...any suggestions?

I just recently purchased a Sony Handycam and it came with a program that allows you to...

-view the videos
-edit the videos
-burn to DVD
-export to external device
-convert to WMV file

The program is called PMB.

I'm not convinced that Sony products are nightmares to be avoided! I am trying to transfer the mini disc files that are in the camcorder (using the USB connect) onto the computer through Motion Picture (worthless) Browser. It keeps telling me the drive is in use by another program. I want to scream. The consumer who posted earlier is correct - we should file a class action law suit.

That's right! They shouldn't release such terrible time-wasting software if they don't even try to provide quick and reliable customer-support. This forum gives more answers than Sony.

Class action suit is the only answer, just like iBook users did to Apple back around 2002. Just the threat of a class action lawsuit got Apple to turn around and treat their abused customers with respect.
