Anyone ever come across a camcorder functioning correctly in everything it was meant to do except NORMAL PLAYBACK. This damn thing will record and when I playback, I have to hit play, then rewind or fast forward to see what I recorded. It can't be as simple as cleaning the heads can it???? Or did I (or one of my kids) change a menu setting???? thnx in advance!
My computer and software will not recognize my hc36 handycam when I connect it via firewire. The LCD on the handycam show DV iLink but the computer does not recognize that it is connected. What is the problem. I've tried sony's software, Pinnacle Studio, and Ulead videostudio that came with my firewire card. I can only seem to connect with the poor quality of USB. I want to take this thing back and get something that will transfer better to my PC.
