I get an error message when I try 
to capture video files 

If you have an analog and a digital capture 
device on your PC, you may need to select your 
device before capturing video files. Refer to the 
Help menu in the video capturing program to 
find out how to change your video device 
selection.  

My PC doesn’t recognize my 
digital camcorder when I try to 
capture video files 

Before you can transfer your digital video files to 
your PC, you must connect your camcorder 
properly to a FireWire (IEEE 1394) port on your 
PC, turn your camcorder on, and then select the 
playback mode before transferring video files to 
your hard disk drive. 

 

My movie won’t play on my DVD 
player 

Your DVD movie may be in a file format that your 
DVD player can’t read. If you recorded your 
video files as data, they will not have the proper 
format to be played on your DVD player. Files 
must be encoded in the proper DVD video format 
by using a recording program such as Sonic 
MyDVD to play in your DVD player. 

Which discs are compatible with 
my DVD and CD players? 

Go to the Web site of your DVD or CD player 
manufacturer to find information about disc 
compatibility.
