SONY Handycam, and why the lord hates me...

The dude upstairs is really unhappy with me.

I borrowed a camcorder from uni, I was asked if I wanted an SD card one, I said "yeah!" (I have like 4-5 SD cards at home from 32MB to 2GB, so it made perfect sense to get that cam)

BUT WAIT!!

for some reason I can only take still images with it!

After finally getting internet access (taking my PC to my friends) I downloaded the instruction manual PDF as a last resort. (I emailed shaun, phoned his mobile, left a message on his office phone, but he must have been busy for a good 3 days...)


Turns out none of my cards will work for recording because of two words "Magic gate", this is basically a term givin to new SD cards and it means they store data and encrypt it. So thus rendering the "Sony" SD magic gate cards unusable for the "Sony" handy cam, its ridiculous, what else will be thrown in my way?
Getting irritated with things always going wrong for me.
