thank you very much! you have been a great help, I have found the problem. the main problem was that under VIEW and EXTERNAL VIDEO i had it on off. im sorry to bug you again but now it appears to be a problem with the camera i think and i dont know ifyou would know much about that but the problem is that now, the footage shows up on my lcd monitor on my sony DCR-PC110 camera when i have it in vcr mode but when i want to print to video and i hit the record button on my camera, it records to the memory of the camera, and when i put it into camera mode, the footage does not appear and nothing records but the lens cap, i went througkh all of the camera settings but nothing seems to work, and i never had this problem with this camera, any suggestions??
cheers
