Import Movies to PC

• 1). Turn off the camcorder. Connect the USB cable to the Handycam and PC. Set the Handycam's selector switch to "On" or "Stand By." Within a few seconds, Windows detects the connection and configures the memory card in the Handycam as a removable storage device.
  
  
• 2). Click "Start," then "Computer." Double-click the drive letter of the new removable storage device in Windows Explorer. Double-click the "Video" or "Movies" subfolder if present on the drive. Some Handycam camcorders create subfolders on the memory card while others write video files to the root directory of the device.
  
  
• 3). Highlight all the MTS or MT2S files you want to import from the Handycam to the PC. Press the "Ctrl" and "C" keys. Pressing the "Ctrl" and "C" keys copies the movie files to the Windows Clipboard.
  
  
• 4). Click the "Videos" link under Libraries in the left side of the Windows Explorer window. Click inside the "Videos" folder window, and then press "Ctrl" and "V" on the keyboard. Windows copies the videos from the Handycam to the "Videos" library folder.
