Which computer (hardware manufacturer and model) and which version Windows... and which version MovieMaker?
The Sony HDR CX150 records highly compressed AVCHD files into a MTS file format that most versions of MovieMaker/Windows cannot deal with. Either transcode (convert) the video to a format MovieMaker likes (WMV) or use a video editor designed to work with AVCHD files - like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere.
We don't know what your "old JVC" was, but if it captured standard definition video, that is a lot less computer resource intensive than AVCHD MTS file could ever hope tom be.
I tried downloading my videos from the camcorder to my PC. Is there a way to download directly into windows movie mkaer?
I have to first download with the Sony program, then convert into wmv. file.
With my old JVC it woudl just download directly to my PC. Does anyone know if this is a sony software thing as I did not have this problem with my other camcorder.
When I do plug it in directly it asks if I want to import images, but it does not give me an option of which files to download.
