Can't I do most things without the extra software?  What is the big selling point of the pmb software any way?  I'll look into it, but this doesn't say much for Sony, which is too bad.  Perhaps I can take that $400 and buy a nice Canon or other camera, do you think?   Just to show that things with Sony haven’t changed much…  I just bought and received today from Dell, a Sony Cyber Shot dsc hx100 v, which is a $400 large digital camera.  All is well, except for the fact that the pmb 32 bit software won’t install on my 64 bit win 8 system, which is exactly like the win 7 system.  I got a chat with sony and they used logmein to take over my computer and noticed that I had win 8 installed.  He ended the chat abruptly, and that was that.  All that is required to solve this problem is a 64 bit executable version of the pmb software, but they can’t seem to supply it.  The camera costs $400!  Are they ready to return the camera because they can’t supply an executable for a piece of software?

I simply said that I was worried that the computer would get corrupted and asked for assurance that the NEW version dated 11/11 would work without scrogging things up. To my surprise, he asked if he could take over my computer and insure a safe install. I said sure and hooked up the camcorder (SR11) to the cradle and USB cable to the computer. You have to turn the cam on and use the tough screen to select "connect" on either the memory stick or the HDD ...once that is done, Windows will recognize the camcorder. The rest of it he did (downloading and installing PMB and importing the existing videos into pmb. PMB also imported ALL of the other pictures and vids on the PC). No rebooting was done and everything worked fine. I rebooted after logging off the chat and had no registry or DVD problems like those reported below. Anyway...perhaps the new software version is the key to success with this. Sony is clearly willing to invest the time to make sure you get it right so based on my experience, I'd suggest using the chat function and letting them do it! Kudos to Sony for excellent service.  I read this before trying to install PMB on Win7-64 and decided to consult with Sony’s ON LINE support CHAT technicians.
