How do I record movies on a camcorder with a memory card?

It has a little place to put the memory card. But, when I put that in there and I record something, when I take it out and put it, in my laptop nothing happens. (It says nothing is on it). My dad said that I have to put it on some setting, but I have no idea what that setting is and how I put it on...

I have a HITACHI ULTRAVISION DIGITAL

Answer
While I'm not familiar with your exact camera (I think Hitachi calls everything "Ultravision"), I don't believe you can actually record video to a memory card (unless the camera doesn't accept a tape or DVD at all).

That memory card slot is usually used for saving photos that camcorders are often capable of taking. In other words, it's for pictures only... not video.

As I said, I'm not familiar with your camera, and would need more info to say for sure, so I could be wrong.

Hope that helps!

Why do I need a memory card for my camcorder?

Q. I bought a camcorder that has a hard drive already built in. It takes videos and saves it to its hard drive, but when I try to take pictures it says "no card found" or something like that. Why would I even need a memory card? Why can't it just save the pictures to the hard drive automatically like it does videos?

Answer
Perhaps it only stores stills on the memory card. Pretty stupid really, try reading the manual, maybe there's a way to configure it to store the stills on the HD.
