Hi Sean, I can't tell you how, but I would imagine member Vortex wake would be the man to talk to, he's always posting vids on line. :tiphat:

Firstly , can you view the videos on the PC and do you have a YouTube account ?


If the video in on an sd memory card - put the card into the PC to view and upload it to YouTube. Connecting the camcorder by USB to PC can be a fag - hence using the above method.

Remember , videos can be very large files - hence they can take an hour or two to upload.

You can try . It may depend on age of the printer and whether the correct drivers are used - but basically , once you can locate the video file on the laptop , you should be able to upload it to YouTube.

We can get the file to play on dvd in windows media player but too complicated ripping it then -youtube - converting it. Video cam has you tube setting which we did the recording on but after hours of trying to transfer it then getting told at the end it couldnt been done has now totally sickened me, so, if anyone on here can convert a dvd to youtube in Tenerife lease let me know, will have to pay for it. Thanks.
