PC-105 question

[AggieDave 6]

I had heard that it is possible to transfer video (not just images from the stick) to a computer via the USB as well as the FireWire. Although I checked the manual and didn't find anything that really applied, I did a search but didn't really find anything as well.

So is it possible or firewire only? Yes, I realize the ieee 1394 would be the best, but usb is handy for me right now.

have you tried stting the camera up and doing it?
I run XP pro and it auto matically detect any USB or Firewire products so in theory I should just find the camera as another device

How's yours doing?

[AggieDave 6]

Yeah, I have, when switched to "memory" it picks up the stick, but I can't get it to respond any other way. I would think that the "vcr" setting would be the way to go to do a video transfer to the computer, but no dice.

hmm interesting.
I'm at work now so I cant check at the moment.
If when I get home, there is no better response I'll have a play with mine.
Are you Running XP Pro??

Yup, XP Pro. Tried a few things, searched the web for answers, tried those answers. Decided to FIDO and just got back from buying a firewire card.

It is possible to USB video from a PC105 to a computer. You need to install the software provided by Sony. Then on thePC105 you will need to go through the menu structor to an Icon to turn USB streaming on.

The Manual: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/DCRPC105.pdf
page 174

The quality isn't the same with USB as it is with firewire. If you are going to edit a video, stick with firewire. If you want to use your pc105 as a webcam use the USB.

VCR - from the tape to the computer
CAMERA - as a webcam
MEMORY - pics and video from the card to the computer

-Harri-

edit: added the options

if you run xp pro then just turn the camera on to memory,then xp should ask you about what to do whith the media... really simple
