I recently purchased a new DVD camcorder. Did some recording (v8 supercars mostly), finalised the DVD and popped it in the pc's DVD drive. This was where I found the first problem. The drive wouldn't read it. Worked fine in the home DVD player but not the pc one. (odd thing is pc drive and camcorder are both sony but the home dvd is jvc). Ended up buying a new DVD drive for the pc as the one in it was getting pretty long in the tooth anyway, which fixed the problem.
So, now I can get the clips onto my hard drive no probs but cant seem to do anything with them from there. I've bungled my way through to creating a short clip of my exhaust as an avi file but I keep getting an error message if I try to upload it to photobucket. It's less than 3 minutes, less than 100MB and an acvceptable file type so I don't know what the problem is. I also can't attach it to an email. PC just seems to freeze up when I hit send on a mail with a clip attached. Any ideas?

The DVD not playing in your PC is probably to do with your old drive only supporting DVD-ROM, wheras the camcorder probably records onto DVD-r or
DVD+r. Anyway, you've sorted that out by buying a new drive. I dont know anything about photobucket, but try to enter the symptoms into a google search - this is usually my first point of call. You generally wont be able to send more then 5Mb in an email,depending on your ISP's mail server configuration. PS. Mucking around with videos tends to be tricky, so have patience! |

Your old DVD-ROM firmware may have needed an update so that it would recognise a more DVD discs. Firmware updates are usually available from the manufacturers website assuming they still support that particular drive.
As far as for the other problems you really need a pretty good computer to do anything with video as older machines are just not upto it. Plenty of RAM and a fast CPU especially. |

Hello,
How big exactly is the file? What type of internet do you have, in particular upload speed? |
