I have purchased a new computer and when I went to install my Imagemixer software I could not find my CD. Is there any place to download the software, get a copy of the CD, move the program from the old computer to the new computer and have it run successfully? Any advice would be very helpful.

Thanks

You could try this - but is Imagemixer worth it? It will not work with 64 bit systems anyway.

Thanks, PCMover looks like the program I was looking for.

There is no point in purchasing the program or moving Imagemixer if it does not even work with a 64 bit system. Can you make any suggestions on a program I can use to download the video from my camera, then edit it, and make a DVD of it?

Thanks,

Is your camera a Canon HG20?

If you plug the camera in to your USB port it will show up as a removable storage device, and you can just copy the media files from the "STREAM" folder to anywhere you want. I believe that the camera must use the external power supply for it to work.

As for editing software there are many options. The most popular here is probably Sony Vegas. I successfully use Pinnacle 12.1 Ultimate on an i7-950 Vista-64 PC to edit AVCHD.

Others may be able to give further software recommendations.

The above answer is correct
If you however have an SD card based camcorder , then you just need a card reader
The Pixela type software use the camcorders index cdes ect and can be covenient but they are by no mean essential

Software: any current one will be capable ( including Vegas which has an initially unfamiliar interface but is very kind on modest harware and t that hard to use) . Besides there are loads of tutorials, Pinnacle Studio is another,
I also have Adobe Premiere elements 7 but find it likes a lot of ram and is say, a bit less stable than any Adobe program Ive used in the past .. still working on that one
I actually have CS4 onthe same system and it is better behaved
