88Connecting to a Computer

We recommend powering the camcorder using the compact power adapter while it is connected to the computer.

Refer also to the computer’s instruction manual.

For further details about restrictions when using MyDVD for Canon, refer also to the “README” section in the software’s help modules.

Photomovie scenes created on a disc initialized in VIDEO mode cannot be transferred to the computer using MyDVD for Canon.

If you create Photomovie scenes on a DVD- RW initialized in VR mode, you will not be able to transfer any recordings to the computer using MyDVD for Canon.

Depending on the number and length of the scenes recorded, the One-Touch Dubbing may take some time.

In the following cases, the button will not light up in step 2 and you cannot use the One-Touch Dubbing function:

-The online user registration was not completed correctly.

-MyDVD for Canon is still running.

-A finalized disc is not inserted in the camcorder.

-A brand new disc is not inserted in the computer’s DVD drive.

-The disc in the camcorder is a DVD-RW recorded in VR mode but the disc in the computer’s DVD drive is a DVD-R disc.

-The disc in the computer’s DVD-drive is a DVD-R DL disc.

If none of the previous applies but the button still does not light up, look for the icon in the computer’s desktop toolbar. If does not appear, disconnect the USB cable from both, the camcorder and the computer. Restart the computer and turn the camcorder off and then on again. Then, connect the camcorder to the computer again.
