help on transfering to computer

[jeffyzai]

ok...so i've taken some stuff...and i wanna put it on my computer...how do i do it? i tried iwht this "imagemixer" software sony gave me...but when it gets on my computer, its really really pixelated...extremely bad quality. I know it shouldn't be like that because my friend's TRV19 is only 0.8 megapixels and it has pretty clear pictures. my TRV25 on the other hand, with 1 megapixel, is extremely blurry....help plz?

thanks

You need a firewire capture card and a firewire cable. Probably the 4pin to 6 pin model.

or usb cables work on some...
download something like a c d c (thats not how its spelt, its how it sounds) thats what we used to make our vid

[jeffyzai]

so my usb cable doesnt work? or what....i dont get it...cuz its so nice quality on my actual camera...and then the quality sucks on my computer...

it's because you're using a usb cable.
if your computer hase a firewire port, go buy a firewire cable for your camera. if it doesnt have a firewire port, go buy a firewire port and a firewire cable.

usb works for like mpegs, but not DV

but then how come my firends has pretty nice quality with a usb cable? i asked the place where i bought the camera and they said i should change the transfer thingy to .avi...except i dont know how to do that...

better cable and camrea quality probably mate

[jeffyzai]

hmmm but does the megapixel thing matter> cuz he's got a .8 megapixel while mine is 1 megapixel...logically mine should be nicer...hmmm

familiarize yourself with your software. You'll find it somewhere in the settings.

the megapixels dont matter for video...they both capture the same amount of pixels for video...that only means that your digital still pictures you take with your camera will be better...

[jeffyzai]

oh really...but then he's got pretty good quality and mine is crap...hmmm...
