Sony HDR- XR150E not playing fair

[fattycarter]

PLEASE HELP
We recently returned from our honeymoon and have our video footage on our Sony HDR- XR150E camera. I have attached what comes up. We have connected and downloaded some of the videos previously while we were on the honeymoon. Not sure what to try next.

First, you need to secure your footage before tampering with anything! Instead of trying to import via iMovie (I assume that's what you're trying to do), open in finder and copy/paste the whole camera archive to an appropriate drive - by securing the whole file structure as is on the camera, you can import to imovie later with some work arounds (search the topic on this forum). Might be the drive on your camera is in trouble...

Hope someone has someone has further steps to figure out the issue with the camera.
