Q. Own a Sony Handycam. The camcorder can be set to record live action as well as take still pictures. However, when still pictures are taken, they look completely blurry. Is this result the nature of using a video camera to function as a still camera or is there a way to correct the mess?
A. Nope....
You may be able to correct just a tad. An image taken with a camcorder is most likely very small pixel-wise, 5MP (give or take). And being that you state the still was captured during motion, the image was bound to be blurry anyway. Using an image editor, use the Sharpen tool or Unsharp mask, etc. on the image and see what you get.

How can I transfer videos from my camcorder to my computer?
Q. I have a sony handycam camcorder (DCR-DVD305) it uses Mini DV. I looked and I saw that most people suggested using a firewire port however, my camcorder does not have a plug for that. I can upload the videos by putting the disk in my CD drive but when I upload it to youtube the quality is VERY poor. Is there anything I can do? Thanks
A. Clarification: Your camcorder uses miniDVD as storage media.
MiniDV is a far superior digital tape based camcorder storage media type. In consumer camcorders, only miniDV tape based camcorders (and a few JVC consumer hard drive camcorders) use firewire for camcorder-computer connectivity.
Since we don't know what else you are doing to get that video to YouTube, here is how I would do it:
Download and install a DVD ripper - I like HandBrake

1) Finalize the mini disc in the camcorder.
2) Take the disc out of the camcorder and put it in the drawer loading DVD drive in your computer.
3) Launch HandBrake.
4) Rip the video to a format your video editor likes.
5) When the ripping is done, quit HandBrake and launch your video editor.
6) Edit. Save As... or Export to a file type that YouTube likes.
7) Upload to YouTube.
Alert: Consumer grade DVD camcorders that record standard definition files saved to VOB format files are very highly compressed. Video from these types of files was never meant to be edited. Video compression = discarded data = reduced video quality. You need to be recording at highest quality which will reduce the record time to the small DVDs. In my opinion, DVD based camcorders should be recalled and you should get your money returned to you (I am confident this won't ever happen). DVD based camcorders barely make useful doorstops.
