I've just bought the Sony DCR SR80 hard drive camcorder to replace my
Panasonic NVGS3.
It records video in short burst of MPG's and my edition of Studio 10 won't
accept the format. Not keen on he editing suite that comes with it (Pixela
Image Maker) and for some reason it crashed Windows Movie Maker so can
anyone suggest any easy to use editing SW just to add a few titles, trim the
clips up and maybe lighten a few shots?
It's connected to the PC not by firewire but by USB connected to the
docking station but it transfers quickly enough
Thanks

I'm afraid that it is the price you pay for buying a hard disk (or
indeed a DVD) camcorder. Not well supported by the mainstream video
editors. And Sony's cop-out is that they supply you with appropriate
software.

It's called "cutting edge technology"....

Indeed. Assuming that the camcorder has an analogue output (surely
they would not offer the camera without it?...) the simplest solution
I suspect, until software support becomes available - if ever - for
the cameras native format, is to capture via a ADV converter. :~(

I should think they are VOB/VR files. If you transfer them to your HDD the
change the Extension to MPEG the will open maybe in studio 10 as I dont have
it to try I dont know but Vegas studio does
