Take clips from homemovie DVD? If I am reading this correctly, sounds like with this software I will be able to edit my DVD...any of you been able to do this?

Yes, you should be able to edit already burned DVD from this software since it does MPEG editing. You should be able to open up TS_Folder(?) and do edit it. Hmmmm... you should download the trial version from the company's website before the purchase. Just to be sure! Good luck!

Help! What is the best editing software for a PC? I ordered this camcorder after reading the grand reviews- but I am a music teacher who uses imovie and idvd on a Mac at school. I have a Dell PC at home. What should I get to make awsome DVD's combining photos, video and music? I am very upset at the cost and difficult editing.

I use a Mac, transfer video from the camera to iMovie, edit as needed, then save it as a QuickTime movie which I transfer to iDVD & burn. This may sound like a lot of steps, but seldom is what I "tape" exactly what I want to save. By editing, I can make the taped material halfway decent. Much better than using it just as it was taped.

Donald, Have you had any success fixing this problem? I am having the same problem, I try transferring DVD files to the MP3 and it seems to work, but when I go to play the video on the mp3 it gives me an error. I think it needs to be converted but don't know how. Thanks.

That usually has to do with the process you used to make your DVD, the settings used, what software you used etc. I'll need more information and details. There is tons of advice on authoring DVD's on forums like DvInfo.net and Camcorderuser.net. DvInfo devotes a whole sub-forum to the HMC Series camcorders. Give it a try. You could get a lot of general answers but for specifics you'll need to dial this all down to your NLE and DVD authoring program. Good Luck.

I was able to do so, if I remember correctly. I was working with home movies at the time. The booklet is on line I think and will tell you everything it can do.

I'm using Ulead 11 and it doesn't seem to be much better. At the moment I can create beautiful videos within VideoStudio and I can watch them inside VideoStudio. As soon as I hit "Create Disk" it just crashes. In other cases it shows a dialogbox "Unspecified Error" and then terminates. (For developer: I suspect the "Unspecified Error" is a disguised exception and if it is it would indicate to me a low-quality software engineering approach) Instead of wasting their software engineers time on custom menus, custom buttons, and other custom controls, it would have been a good idea to just make the three basics work reliably: 1. Get the clips from the video camera 2. Select the ones you want to keep 3. Burn a standard DVD that works on a standard DVD player It's almost as if I had a car with luxurious leather seating yet it's missing the engine... Anyone at Ulead (now part of Corel) trying to fix this? What's their QA department looking like? So if you are looking for a working product you may want to wait until version 12 or even later. And then get a trial copy first. I'd recommend to not pay any money until they prove the newer version is better.

They are right. Download to computer and burn disc , I 'm not real computer literate as I have a problem viewing the disc on my tv. Which I blame on not knowing how to the right software to burn a DVD. But anyway, I wanted to add that you could also email the video as an attachment to your prof,

I thought that if you burn to a RAM disc after editing you can't finalize? My panasonic machine let me edit out commercials on RAM discs but then I couldn't use the disc in another player. So if you use those discs with this player can you play them in another DVD player?

Compelled,What is a .m2Ts file? How do I load it to my PC? Do I open ImageMixer first? I am doing something wrong because after hours of working at it I finally got some video transferred to DVD but it will not play in my DVD player. When I use ImageMixer Player it plays back choppy and with horizontal lines running through the whole thing. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

On page 146 of my copy of the Image Mixer 3 SE Software Guide I found some information about writing back to the camcorder.It has to be AVCHD standard only and I guess you need to use Canon Image Mixer 3 SE to do the editing. There are other limitations in the guide.I have not tried this yet. I write my edited movies to AVCHD on DVD-R and play on PS3, Blu-Ray Player or computer.One thing I like is the on-camera "Playlist". Even without a computer you can select specific clips and then play them in sequence.Of course you can't trim an individual clip but you can tailor the presentation of clips to a specific audience and then change it again and again....No tape ! I love this Non-linear stuff !

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

Thank you.Basically, the problem I got is the pause between the clips when I write them to a DVD. So, I joined them (and the pause problom is solved) and tried to fit it to a 4.7 GB (which apparently holds 4.38GB data). And if the total size is less than 4.38GB, I could write the DVD. Else, I had to separate the single cip (which I joined before) and remove some of the clips and see how many are getting fit in 4.38GB. I think I could write it. Of course, I have to write a second DVD for rest of the clips. Thank you
