need help exporting back to camera in VS pro x2

[zack lee]

Hi, it’s my first post and I tried to find my answer by searching but I couldn’t find specifically what I needed. What I’m trying to do is export my movie back to my Sony handycam (memory stick) in a format that the camera can then play it back. I saw that it can be done with a DV but I couldn’t figure how to do it (or if it’s even possible) on a memory stick cam. I love the Corel products; I just haven’t wrapped an understanding around this one yet. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Welcome to the forums,

Sadly the Export to Camcorder is meant only for DV via Firewire. For putting your video back onto a memory stick, I would guess that you need only to copy it from your PC to the memory stick. However I would also suspect that your camcorder would use a high-compression codec such as AVCHD or AVCHD lite to record video to the memory stick. In that case it may not be as simple as copy/pasting, the camcorder may need a specific file structure to recognize and play the video files.

Could you provide some information on what file format your camcorder records to?

You are right. I had found a way to transfer a file and it showed in the memory but the Camera did not recognize it. I have shifted my focus now to getting an old DV camera of mine working again for this purpose. I appreciate the help and I am sure I will be back often as I am not nearly as familiar with VS as I am PSP.

Thanks again ZL
