Converting Analog to Digital video using sony DCR pc350 camera

[Guest]

I have Sony analog camera and a Sony DCR pc350 digital camera. According to
sony I can convert my analog Hi 8 tapes into digital form. I have made the
right connections and start playing my analog sony camcorder. It shows on my
digital camcorder screen and shows it is in the a/v -d/v converted mode. I
can also see the picture on my Windows Movie Maker screen. But when I ask to
capture that picture instead of capturing the converted picture it starts my
digital camera and starts capturing the picture from digital camera. When I
stop capturing it start playing my analog video on the moview maker screen
and as well as on my digital camcorder screen.

Is it a problem of Windows Movie Maker or the Sony Camera. Am I missing
any setting on Movie maker which says do not control the camcorder and just
picture from it.

Can someone who has done this before help on this.

If you are using version 2.0 of Movie Maker, it doesn't support the pass
through feature... but version 2.1 does.

Did you upgrade to 2.1?

I have a acer travelmate c110 series tablet PC. It is upgraded to sp2 during
the windows PC platform. The movie maker is 2.1.4026.0. Yes it is a 2.1.
Is there anyway I can uninstall the windows movie maker and reinstall again.
I do not see anywhere uninstall for it.

No, you just install over the existing software to refresh it..

But windows Movie maker says it is only available with windowsn SP2. That is
the problem. If I look for updates it says my windows is uptodate. I am so
frustrated that I am thinking of reloading the entire operating system.

Is there a easier way out.

On my Sony digital camcorder, for me to use it as a 'pass-thru' device for
my Sony Hi8 analog one, I had to go into the menu of the camcorder and
enable the feature.... see the Setup > MM2.1 page of my website for a full
description of how I set it up.

I'd think and test some more before going to such a drastic step as a full
reinstall.

Hello,

Why not download the full SP2 ????? instead of doing it online (which is an
iffy process at the best of times).....OR....if the full download is a bit
heavy for you...go to your local newsagent store and grab one of the
magazines with the free SP2 CD on it??
