I have a sony HDR-CX11 camcorder and use the PMB software which came with it to download video to my computer . Teh problem is it stores them in folders with the date in format yyyy mm dd which means they are very hard to find among the folders from my other camera. Ia there any way to change this format

Hi, If you haven't got it fixed yet, I just found the same problem but in reverse: my PMB's format was dd-mm-yyyy and I wanted yyyy-mm-dd because in a long list of dated folders these will sort in the correct chronological order.

Anyway, by experiment I found that the PMB software picks up the computer's 'short date' format. So to get what you want (in Windows Vista), go to Start - Control Panel - Clock, Language and Region - Regional and Language Settings. On the Formats tab, click the Customise this format... button, then on the Date tab, in the Date format area, change the Short Date to dd-mm-yyyy and click Apply.

That will change things like the Date Modified column in Windows Explorer, but Long Dates will stay the same.

Hope that does it for you.
