Many thanks for all your and others help. Have since found a very long way round but it does end up with Studio 9 doing the editing!
Heres what I do:
Firstly, Windows downloads the files to my HDD;
Then I use Movie Maker to capture the files and lay them out on the storyboard just as they come off the camera;
I then output them as a Movie Maker movie to my DV camcorder where they then become digital;
Studio 9 then captures the scenes from the camcorder and they are digital and can be edited by Studio 9.
A long way round but at least I get there!!! And anyway, I get a lot of pleasure using the PC.
Am thinking of buying a new camcorder. But I film only steam-locomotives and my other hobby - organs in poorly lit churches where a 3CCD job won't be much good. A budget of about £1000+- so am really having a hard time to find something suitable.
Regards and many thanks. Richard.[/u]
