I have a Windows 7 PC and Sony DCR-SR88 handycam. I need to transfer all my videos from the handycam to my PC.

When I try to connect to the PC via USB, it detects the handycam's drive on my PC and shows the used memory correctly, but when I open a folder, it says "folder is empty".

How I can copy the files?

I have tried following:

  • Changed the USB cable.
  • Changed the USB port.
  • I can play the videos with the handycam, but the same files aren't visible in PC when connected in USB mode.

  • Are you sure you have videos on it? Try to play them back with the camera and let us know...

  • What does the folder tree look like when you open it in Explorer? Are you sure you're looking in the right folder?

  • Isn't there some proprietary Sony software that you got as part of the package?

That can possible that your data is hidden because of some virus or another reason.

Press Alt to reveal menu, then check Show Hidden Files and Folder from Tools > Folder option > View and uncheck Hide Protected operating system files (Recommended).
