I have had a Sony 201E digicam for nearly four months now. Great
camera - however, it is basically unusable. I was attracted to it
because I liked the idea of using small DVD disks and being able to
quickly and easily transfer them to my PC in order to edit and write
off to a normal size DVD. The software that is suppled by Sony,
IMagemixer v1.5 is USELESS. It just does not work. I've re-installed
and followed every word of the online help (which is very poor). I
have been unable to transfer or properly edit any of my work using
this software. The camera produces VOB files which are not compatable
with any other editing program I've come across. It's a great pity
that Sony have not produced usable software for use with a very good
camera. To anybody thinking of buying one I would say, 'DON'T' - the
hassle involved is just not worth it. Has anybody out there had any
success using Imagemixer????
