just saw your message. wondering if you got what you wanted and that I have another problem with the camcorder. I only realised that the software that was included does not burn DVD!! And that if I want to get one I have to pay! Furthermore the software has not instruction and quite unfriendly. After owning it for 3-4 years I have yet to successfully burn a CD out of all the videos that I have taken. Getting quite frustrated with it actually.
