Can you share videos directly from this video camera? Or do you have to download the videos to a computer first?

There is no wifi or wireless connectivity directly with the camera, so no there is no way to stream pics or videos from the camera. However, the camera does have a usb port and an SD card. You can either quickly plug the camera into a laptop via the usb, or you can swap the sd card out. For example, lets say you have a pic or video you want to quickly share, you can take the sd card out and put it into your smartphone and send it that way. I know it's a bit of a pain. I actually no longer use this device anymore. I use my iPhone to record videos instead.

You can share them directly from the camera. As is with any "sharing" device, you'll need an Internet connection.

No. It includes micro sd card and you need to insert it into the camera. When you check the video, you may take the card out and put it in your computer.

Hi Rubens, the camcorder does not have the capability to stream videos online while you are recording. You can only download the recorded files after importing them to a computer. Thanks_Mitch

The camera acts like a flash drive when you connect it to the computer, and you can go into the folders and copy all the pictures and videos. They should all be there and copy easily. If you use the software for downloading there is a video option to download into that tool. I do it using drag using Windows Explorer and drop to MY PICTURES in the folder I like.

You have to manually do this in the file system in the camera. Plug this in to your computer and look for the videos in the camera file system and cut and paste to your computer. My suggesting would be to send the camera back if you can. This was a terrible purchase and I should have returned mine!!

Are you asking how to download the video even though it is in segments? If so, I would say, rather than let the computer do the automatic download, try and grab all the individual video clips and put them in a place where you can view them. The video will only record 10 minute segments... if you have a clip longer than 10 minutes, it will automatically be broken into pieces. You will need to use something like Windows Movie Maker to stitch the clips together back into a single long video. Thanks! Good luck!

I don't believe that you can...NO. However, saying that; the video recording always produces a jpeg from the first frame or so of the video, that appears when you download the video to your computer.

It has a cord with usb so you can play directly out to the computer, If you install the accompanying Sony PMB soft ware you can hook the camera directly to the computer and the PMB soft ware will import footage from the camera and the 3rd way is by recording to an SD card and using the SD card on your editing computer in almost the same way you would use a thumb drive and you can move footage to your computer in that manner

I don't have mine connected to either a computer or internet. I believe you only need to connect them if you want to view remotely (from your phone or computer). I have mine set to record for 30 seconds so if I want to view video later I can do that. I don't have a need for remote viewing so no computer or internet needed.

Internet service can be used with the camera. Large amounts of video can be recorded and, if needed, downloaded to the computerhttp://www.tenm3.com/blogs/?p=176

This is only a video capture device. You still need the video to come from somewhere.

Funny thing ....easier to download than to finder once you have in it ... download it on the computer. Make sure the mp4 is connected to the computer so you can then transfer your files to the mp4..once you finish check under videos ..or music under record...have fun .

You need a firewire to go from the camera to the computer and the computer needs to have the correct plugin to use the firewire. Most computers do not have this capability (plugin port). Our son had added it to our computer and provided me with the necessary program (Nero 8) to copy videos. No software for this video camera have to do it the long way. You can consult like Best Buy's GEEK Squad or someone with that knowledge, we just happen to have a computer guy in the family. Be very careful the PINS on the plug-in on the camera BEND VERY easy and then you cannot do anything!! Hope this helps.:)

I don't know what you mean. Specifically what are you trying to do? I have videos on my computer (Windows 7) and can watch them without a problem but they were orginally downloaded on a Windows XP machine and then transferred when I bought a new computer.

Don't think it is possible. It can take videos, but it cannot stream live to the internet.

Hi Victor, Yes I am able to connect, view live and record videos from this camera on my computer but you will need a separate video adapter/cable and install software onto your PC. The camera doesn't come with those. If you buy the camera straight out, it comes with video cables that can be connected to a television or a computer with a video card that allows AV input. If you want specifics or technical details, you have to do some research.

I've only tested the USB port on it once, so I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you can only do a photo-slide show using a usb drive. Any video content has to come from an actual player of some sort (computer, DVD plater etc.). But like I said, I've only tried that once, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong :)
