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.

PMB is worthless...nothing should be this hard. I'm well-seasoned with computers and have spent a week of my time trying to get a file out and into an editing program. I have a Mac with iMovie, a PC with XP and a PC with Vista.

I have downloaded numerous codecs online and conversion programs...all have something that doesn't work.

I'm ready to chuck this camera and get something that records in a different format.

VLC Video Player has no problems playing these files.

I have looked at the previous thread here and unfortunately have not found a solution to the problem. I have used 2 sep Sony Handycams to video. The 2nd one is newer and therefore I updated the disk - which according to Sony is completely acceptable. However, all of the videos from the previous camera are now impossible to open. I phoned Sony and emailed them twice - they say it's not their problem!

I have downloaded the AVS program mentioned above but it cannot deal with .modd or .moff files. I have tried several other converter programs - again with no success. They can cope with .mod not .modd.

These videos relate to my PhD studies and for obvious reasons I would really like to get them back. And yes, I did do back ups - but the videos are not accessible on all computerised versions.

Anyone with any suggestions, please?

I am normally a pasive reader of forums, but I will try to help:
I have found a solution by updating PMB; I had version 2 and on Menu/help/messages, it told me that there was an update (v5.2).

It lead me to a sony page where I had to download a "download manager". Then It gave me the real link to update. V5.2 of PMB permits converting to MPEG-2 or WMV quite easy.

Hope it helps.

If PMB can covert to AVI and other vid format, use it. If it can't, I am trialling divX to do conversions. It's a slow process even with 4GB mem, 3ghz 4 core CPU.

If you burn the native Sony HD format to DVD, you WILL get the DVD failing to burn/eject. HD is only for blue-ray and the Sony HD file format can only be burnt to Blue-Ray disks.

I'll let you know how my 1st attempt goes using DivX

suddenly have problem with a message window popping up onto screen when trying to import from my Sony Handycam DCR-SR42E Message: on HDD Handycam Utility reads: 'Unable to retrieve management information.' Once I click OK the window escapes, I can thus not click on 'Media File Import' where it always used to be without ever giving a problem. Now it is stuck on 'Easy PC Back-up?' Cannot get to it to change it! The camcorder does connect to my PC. I wonder if there is a problem with .modd file and what do I do? I do not know much about codecs. I have the codecs for XP and K-lite full pack. Thank you

I download my videos from Sony cam to pmb. Now it says drive is full, but when i transfer data from c drive to d, and try to erase from c, it erases from everywhere what am i doing wrong? Also won't let me burn dvds, very frustrated not a computer person.

I copied my original videos with the same file name and format from my Sony DCR-SR42E onto my PC hard drive because I had run out of space and then deleted them from the camcorder. When I copy them back onto the camcorder, they don't appear in the library but are clearly on the hard drive. Thanks for the help.
