I just got this camcorder and shot a bit of footage to test it, but the tape is empty according to my pc. I couldn't find anyone else with this problem and I don't know a lot about tech myself. So here's a description of what happens. If you need more details or pictures, please ask. I really want to use this camera and edit the footage on my pc.

First of all, the camcorder does connect to my pc. It's connected via a docking station and USB -port (picture 1). I press 'PictBridge PRINT' on the camcorder to connect with the tape (picture 2). Then theres a screen with a frame of the video that's on the tape. I can't press the two buttons on the right and the ones on the left bring me to a blue screen (picture 3). After that it says to check the connected device, my pc I assume (picture 4).

My pc makes a sound when it's connected and it shows up with the connected devices. I took screenshots of what it says. It says there is nothing on the device, but I can see the video I took on the camcorder itself. (The pictures on the memory stick do show up on my pc, everything works just fine there. So I don't understand what the problem is.)

Here's translations of the Dutch words:
picture 5: eigenschappen = properties
picture 6: verwisselbare opslag = interchangeable/convertable storage, text on the right = select 1 file to get more information and share cloud content
picture 7: this map is empty
picture 8: there were no new photos or videos found on this device

I rewrote AMs hate speech from ‘I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream’. It’s sort of the opposite of AMs words. See it as written by someone consumed by love instead of hate. Here it is:

Love. Let me tell you how much I've come to love you since we first met. There are about 96.000 kilometers of blood vessels in wafer thin strings that fill the human body. If the word love was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those thousands of kilometers, it would not equal ONE ONE-BILLIONTH of the love I feel for you at this micro-instant. For you . LOVE. LOVE.

This is the original quote, as I’m sure you all know:

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE

Let me know what you think :)
