Hi,

Fairly new to this forum, couldn't find a relating thread to this - Here's the problem

My friend has just brought a Sony HDR-UX1 and is trying to get the HD videos of the camera, however sony do not provide the hdmi cable or software that is capable of transferring the videos from the video camera to PC in HD.

We have spoken to Sony customer service and they have comfirmed that the software provided with the camera does not support HD transfer.

Does anyone know of software that can transfer the video off the camera in HD????

You should only need a usb cable: The camcorder will be seen by Windows Xp ( and above) as a USB "mass storage" device in much the same way as happens when you put a usb flsh drive in a PCs USB slots

Once it appears as a "drive" in my computer it should be possible to simply drag and drop its contents to your PCs HDD
Its contents are AVCHD (H.264) video files, unless you shot in SD in which case they are mpeg2 files.

As for what happens to it after,( avchd files)
You can play it.


If you want to Edit it , you would need to Have a Copy of Sony Vegas 7 with its recent update ( May 1st).. UleadMovieFactory6 plus, or a trialversion of UleadVideoStudio11 plus
Pinnacle Studio 11 plus ( ultimate)
or wait for Sony Vegas Movie Studio ver 8 in a few months

Have a read
Vegas 7e AVCHD update is available

The video camera did not come with a USB lead
Any way of getting the videos off with a hdmi lead?

Yes if you buy a hdmi capture card, but they cost £200... a USB cable is cheaper.....
