Sony HDR-SR11 - Editing

Bodger15 · 21-06-2008, 9:11 PM

I know how to transfer the video from the camera to the PC but how do I transfer the video from the PC back to the camera hard drive. I use windows Vista .

Not sure that you can transfer edited AVCHD files back to the camera.
Out of interest why would you want to?

Although my computer software can handle HD my DVD Recorder cannot. Therefore it seems to me that my best course of action is to edit my video on my PC and download back to the camera in order to play HD on my TV since I do not have a blu ray player...

i am prety sure this is a limitation of non tape cams which cant capture to the pc edit and then output back to the cam .with non tape you have to edit and make dvds avchd or bd disks,to play back from the cam it must be what is origionaly recorded.when i get mine i hope to be able to record back on to my hdv cams as well but time will tell.

i'm still trying to work out the best way of watching edited HD footage without having Apple Tv.

I have Sony Bravia HD TV, its just the computer bit that is a problem to me.
Do I need better software for video editing if so what do you suggest...

I have answered your query in another thread and asked you to state specifically what needs clarification
You cannot edit AVCHD files then return them to the camcorder for playback
The edited files are not identical to the raw ones and the camcorder will not recognise and play them
You asked what a PS3 was ,I told you it is a Sony playstation 3 which is a BDplayer as well as able to play AVCHD files as they are, edited and also when you create an AVCHD disc with software Such as Nero 8, Ulead CS 11.5, Ulead MF6 plus .. and lately Pinnacle Studio 12
There has been no response in those threads
I would seriously urge you to follow up on old threads to unravel some of this ( if it doesnt make sense) rather than ask elsewhere
It is hard to know how much is useful to you if one is unsure of what you already know
HTH

thats the advantage of using hdv, edited avchd can be put on tape as well as the hd discs

Meaning that the HDV tape models are designed to allow edited material to be recorded back to tape, and played back from the camcorder in a way that HDD models do not.
This is possibly because the AVCHD files which are output by software are not identical in codec to the ones natively generated by the camcorder
What Chris is saying here is that you can output AVCHD as HDV, and then return this to a suitable HDV camcorder for playback

It seems to me that the marketing of HDD camcorders assumes that the buyer knows all these things, or they dont feel it is any use saying more than the fact that they are very good tapeless kit ( which they are)

Even if you had limitless funds, the BD recording drives, and media are still a little steep in cost and know how isnt simply "burning the files to a BD disc"
As it happens even with "AVCHD discs.". apart from the PS3 , it seem only Sony BD players play them.. for now

Senu, it is unfair of you to expect people who are completely new to all of this to understand everything that is said first time around.
I like others who are new here am only trying to get as much information as possible and I am sorry if this gets up your nose.......

Bodger15 · 22-06-2008, 2:52 PM

Nero 8 any good......?????............

Im sorry if I sounded offended

I am not

What Im trying to do is to make it very simple for you to understand by trying not to assume too much. If I "sense" what you do know, then Ill take it from there
The opposite is to explain things in a way that may come across as patronising and that is a big

as well
A lot of folk on here might wrongly assume they are getting across but instead confuse you even more
I would say.. use your camcorder, copy stuff to your PC and watch from the camcorder, (until you fill the HDD ) and learn about the PC stuff gently..It will come. By then all the stuff on the PC can be used
You can make ordinary DVDs in the meantime fairly easily but it would be a software thing and how quickly you learn to use it. All have a learning curve but mostly not that steep, depending on what you wish to do

Otherwise all this Hi def stuff is not that straightforward if you are new to the whole thing and Im a little peeved that people get sold these things and then have to struggle to playback the footage..
But Im sure it will all become clear fairly soon!

I don't think it gets up his nose at all, might get up mine

I like you am trying to get my head around this HD video editing game.
It's complicated, well is for me

I am very grateful for any info that I receive. There are some real whizzs on here and I'd be totally lost without them
