I use USB cable with my DCRTRV22 and the video comes out sort of jumpy like my system is too slow for the transfer process.

It's an AMD Athlon 950Mhz with 512Mb ram running WinMe and I think USB1.

Btw to all those people with Sony that say you can't d/l video via USB you need to install the Pixela Image software that comes with the camera (at least it used to) and then you need to be in video playback mode and then go into the menu (on the camera) and select USB Streaming and then the playback controls in the imaging software become ungreyed.

Possibly this works with Windows Movie Maker too.

If you just connect it up to the USB and then set it to memory then yes it will only see the memory card.

It's all outlined in the instruction manual.
