Digital Video Camera TroubleshootingI am renting a Desktop PC, have plugged in all cables but the screen is not giving a picture. How can I fix this?

After you have finished taking the footage, insert the CD/DVD bundled with the camera and the USB cable, connect the USB cable to the printer and the computer and use the software provided to download the movie(s) onto your computer.

There is a built-in hard drive on the digital video camera I rented from Hire Intelligence. Is there a way that I can transfer my videos from the camera to my computer or on to a DVD?

Once you have completed your footage insert the DVD together with the camera and USB cable, connect the USB to your printer and PC then you can use the provided software to download the relevant movies on to your PC.

I’d like to use the Mini DVD Drive on the digital video camera that I hired. Specifically how do I get my movies burnt to a Mini-DVD disc?
