How to get video off my HV40?

[flair4040]

I have a new HV40 that I am very happy with. I have no problem getting video off my camcorder and into PE 7. But, I was wondering, is there good free software that I can use to get the footage onto my computer without using PE7? Thanks.

For getting HD footage off the camera to your PC - a lot of us here use HDVSplit -

HDVSplit is one program I would not want to be without
It makes capture from the HV cameras very easy and you get a nice preview (you can select from 3 or 4 window sizes) and it splits by timecode. An excellent, free, piece of software

I downloaded hdvsplit. Thanks.

If you have any questions or problems let us know Flair. There are many folks here that use HDVSplit and really like it. I haven't seen any real problems, it is very basic and easy to use. I've never had any serious problems with it that restarting the program didn't fix.
