How do you import video from a Sony Handycam to a computer?

How do I download/upload/import video from my Sony HandyCam SX63 via USB to computer?

  • I'm doing this for the first time. I connected the cable. I downloaded PMB from the CD. I connected the cable. On the camera screen, I select USB Connection for internal memory. Then it says Preparing... and it never stops. Does "preparing" take a REALLY long time? (like more than 30 minutes?). Also the computer does see the camera in the USB port in Windows Explorer. I tried Add Hardware, but can't find anything to choose. I tried to download drivers from Sony, but there do not seem to be any.

  • Answer:

    My camcorder has to be in review playback mode. Your pc/laptop might not be compatible with your camcorders software. If you go to Computer (vista) MyComputer (XP) can you see your camcorder there?
