Download Video from Sony HDR-SR12 TO PC

[sulliven]

HI,

JUST BOUGHT A SONY HDR-SR12 AND WANTED TO DOWNLOAD THE VIDEO ONTO MY PC. I HAD HOPED TO EDIT IT IN VIDEOSTUDIO SOFTWARE WHICH I HAD BEEN USING IN THE PASSED. I HAD A JVC EVERIO AND JUST PLUGGED THE USB CABLE IN AND DOWNLOADED IT TO MY HARD DRIVE.
WHEN I PLUG IN MY NEW SONY I CAN SEE THE HD ON MY COMPUTER BUT CANNOT VIEW THE VIDEO CLIPS.
I HAD HOPED THAT I COULD DOWNLOAD AND EDIT THE VIDEO WITHOUT HAVING TO USE THE SOFTWARE THAT ACCOMPANIED THE CAMERA.
PLEASE ADVISE YOUR HELP WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED.

MANY THANX, SULLIVEN.
