The camera DCR-SR32 is operating with Picture Motion Software, I have no problems downloading from the camera etc., but when I try to burn to my CD/DVD drive it tells me the drive cannot be found??? I have tried all the settings in the software but it just will not allow me to view or access my CD/DVD drive, can anyone help?

some computer CD drives only burn CD and not DVD. The DVD is a read only function. you might check that out.

The big thing with hard disk camcorders is YOU HAVE off eventually off load the 4-10 hours of video you have to a computer (4 megabytes per second of time) or to a DVD burner which you must own separately. On the down side DVD camcorders only record 20-30 minutes of quality video (and the Hard Drive units may provide a slightly, not significant, but slightly better image) per small disk or you have to get a huge size camera from a full size disk which only records 1+ hour of high quality video. DVDs use Mpeg 2 compression Tape (DV-C) and Hard Disk use AVI compression which is higher quality and has less artificacts, but takes up more space. Can you see the difference, yes in side by side comparisions of LIVE camera playback between DVD and Hard Drive you should see differences, especially in titles or dates on the screen and detail in the backgrounds. DVDs were designed for 480 lines of resolution. Tape and Hard Drive camcorders were designed to provide 520+ lines of resolution. Those 40 lines account for sharpness in things like titles. Smooth clean edges or ragged, dirty edges. It comes from the higher compressions levels. But you can generally play the DVD disks out of the camera on most modern computers and set top players and store them away and they have a shelf life of 5-10 years Both are prone to write errors or sector problems. In the case of a Hard Drive camera that may mean a service call and a new Hard Drive, which can cost $150-to $250 once the camcorder is out of warranty (90 days labors 1 year parts). In the case of a DVD write error, it may mean only the camcorder can play back a given disk or you lose the data forever. On the upside of the Hard Drive it records at least 4 hours and as much as 10 hours straight.

first off, i would unplug the camcorder and just go to my computer and check the cd/dvd drive is actually showing up. lets hope it is. then, keeping the "my computer" window open plug in the cam and see if i comes up as removeable device etc. it may replace the cd/dvd drive (say if the drive in the cam is E/: and the cd/dvd drive is E/: as well). if this happens try renaming the drive. otherwise i see no reason why it shouldnt work. perhaps open the cd/dvd drive and just click and drag the files off the cam to the drive, maybe that will work for u.

Well
A good link to download Winrar is: http://j.mp/1p3PuRL
If you are looking for a good program to open zipped files (compressed files) the best solution is WinRar.
Have a nice day
