Movie Maker to Edit/Copy from Sony Handycam-made DVD

[Guest]

I am new to the Digital video recording world, but I have now mastered the use of my Sony Handycam Digital Camera. I have a Sony Vaio computer with the Movie Maker program installed. I have no problem viewing the homemade DVD's with Media Player, but I can not get Movie Maker to recognize the DVD, so that I may edit and copy my home movies. This is probably a very elementary question, but I've read all the manuals and consulted the Best Buy employees and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Also, I can not save the DVD footage to the C Drive because of lack of disk space, even though I've run the disk cleanup several times. I'm at a loss. Please help!

I believe your solution is to purchase a large second hard drive, but check

A good external hard drive, try E-Buyer.com- Xp is a bit
choosy about recognising drives etc so it may suddenly re-
recognise the drive! (honest) if you're under warranty go
back to the store.
