If
you have a Sony DVD 308 camcorder or similar model that use mini-DVD. Use mini DVD-R discs (DO NOT USE RW discs). NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT:
You MUST FINALIZE
your disc once you finished recording, to make the disc playable on
your computer or DVD player. Video demonstration here.
DO NOT INSERT MINI-DVD DISC INTO THE SLOT LOADING DRIVE (as in the iMacs or most laptop models; you will loose your discs and damage the drives). If
computer does not have a tray loading DVD-drive, use another computer
with DVD drive or connect your camcorder to your computer (be sure to
press "Computer" on the left) and copy your VIDEO_TS folder onto a USB
Flashdrive (at least 2GB) then
follow: Written instruction here. Video demonstration here.
