I remember seeing this camcorder in a magazine and I was amazed by it, especially with the DVD recording feature, it was way WAY ahead of its time, when I got my hands on it back in 2013 I got so excited and I was always recording so much videos using the memory stick, but I asked my mom for the small DVD-Rs and she lend me her small stack of it, I was so amazed that I can play this on my old Pioneer DVD player, it got lost during a storm, but amazingly, it still works, but the laser doesn't work anymore sadly, but I had so many memories, all the DVDs survived and just in time to saved it all to my uncle's cloud server before the DVDs couldn't be ready anymore, you made this video really brings back old memories I would love to go through again, but technology moved on and I really have no other choice, but I'm glad it happened so thank you for making this video as a reminder that even old and clunky technology can make so many quality memories👍❤️

I just did this yesterday on my 2019 MBP, what I did was connected the handycam via USB, make sure the disc is finalised first. Then you should see the disc symbol pop up on your desktop. If you open that up, you should see a folder containing the content in some old type file names. Some are .vro or .vob for example. If you tap that file name you should see it clearly has the content of the disc from the file size (about up to 1.5 GB depending on what disc it is). Drag or copy that file onto your mac. Now the tricky part is viewing them. You need to research online what software to use, some are paid some are free. What I did was covert them into mp4 first. I hope this helps

One note: I don't think I "finalized" a lot of my previous recordings, so they are probably lost forever. Going to work on that tonight and see.

Thank you for serving in the Navy for us all. When you get a minute, can you answer 2 questions? 13:11 You showed how to RIP, however when I place the DVD-RW into my PC DVD player, it shows the disk empty. Matter of fact, I tried to view it in many of my PC's DVD players. Shows empty. I downloaded Handbrake, however can't use it if disc says it is empty. However I have several videos on disk that I recorded in 2009. The playback works when disc in Sony HandyCam only. Any suggestions? Plus at 11:41 you mentioned, you have to Finalize the DISC. I can not find how to get to that command. I also have Handycam DCR-DVD610 that I bought at SEARS 10/08/2008 for $329.99 b4 tax. Brigitte in Tulsa Oklahoma.
@roxics3 жыл бұрын
Also you don't need Handbrake unless you want to make an MP4 or MKV file. The easiest thing to do is to open the disc on your computer, drag the largest .VOB files to a folder on your computer and rename them with .MPG extensions. Get rid of the .VOB extension entirely. Replace it with .mpg From there you can watch them in most video players and upload them to KZbin, etc.
