Hello, I have a somewhat old JVC MiniDV camcorder and I've recorded several tapes which I would like to bring to my PC. The problem is that the camcorder came out before they started using all this Firewire and Removable Media type stuff, and the "PC Connection" that it has looks like a small hole you would hook a headphone into. There is another spot which I would think you would use to hook it to a PC but it looks like some weird jack, like the ones which are commonly used on the other side of a USB cord...kinda like a box with one side warped in. Sorry about my bad descriptions and all...The camcorder version escapes me and I don't have it with me at the time.
Anyhelp you can give from this bit of information would be nice, I'm trying to eventually get the film on the PC for some editting then burn to a DVD.
I'll try to post some more helpful information soon, Thanks. |

You were ahead of the game in getting a miniDV camcorder you think so that you thought the needed connectivity weren't included in them? When MiniDV format camcorders were released in market they all had the computer connectivity and editing capabilities (with appropriate software ofcourse). As you don't seem to be familiar with any AV / Computer terminologies, here is some help. The hole you mentioned you would hook a headphone into - is the composite video jack - this is an analogue output and it allows you to hook you camcorder directly to a TV or through a VCR using a composite to RCA connector for viewing and recording purposes. Ensure your connected equipments are compatible (PAL/NTSC).
The warped small box like hole must be the Firewire connection (IEEE 1394)as you had not mentioned it also has a small projection in the middle of it to be the USB. You can get a firewire connector in any electronic /PC shops. You will need a firewire card on you computer to transfer the images from the camcorder to the comp. However take you camcorder to a shop and confirm what sort of digital output jack your camcorder has.
Hope I made worth while of my time replying to this. |

This is in reply to "anonymous" who has a sony DCR-PC120BT camcorder. I sure sony's have an 'I-link" connectivity (also called as firewire port) or simply IEEE1394. If that is the case, first check if your PC/notebook has a firewire port. If you have one you are lucky, you saved $$. Otherwise you must install a firewire card (PCI for Desktop or Cardbus for notebook). SIIG is a good brand that comes with combo packs that have U'lead video software and firewire cable bundled. Should cost about $50. Once the card is installed (plug and play if you are using Win 2000 or higher) it is easy to transfer files from your miniDV. Just attach your camcorder and launch the software, it will automatically recognize your camcorder. Follow instructions to transfer. |

hi. I have a Sony trv-215 and I want to hook it up to my computer. (I have already figured out how to hook it up to the vcr.) But this model does not have a USB port. I heard there was a cable I could use to hook it up, but I don't know what it is. Any help would be appreciated. |

I also have a Samsung SCD23 camcorder. With the USB port, you cannot transfer video to your laptop. You must use the IEEE1394 jack to connect it to another IEEE1394 port on a desktop (or a laptop if it has one) |

mswilse,
that is because your sony is an analog source. a 1394 is for digital data sources and only if your camera has a digital video out put. If you have rca cables, you will need a video capture card. |

Can you attach an older vhs-c camcorder to a pc and get the pic on your pc? If so, what do you need? I am assuming you need a video card in your pc that gives you the red, white, and yellow jacks but once you have this, will it work? |

I have SONY TRV260 camcorder & DELL Inspiron 5100 laptop. I had transferred video, recorded on camcorder to laptop using USB cable. But the quality of video is not satisfactory (when I am playing it full screen).
I have IEEE 1394 port available at both the device.
How good will be the quality of video if I use IEEE 1394 connector instead of USB?
Is there any other way I can increase the quality of video?
Can anybody suggest a store to buy IEEE 1394 4pin to 4pin connector?

Ineed help with my Sony TRV80 camcorder..
I am using windows xp pro connected with a firewire to pc and have used both the software that comes with the camera,uleads software and windows movie maker and all of the video when played back looks pixelated.
If i play back direct to t.v. its picture perfect. If i use wndows movie maker and film straight from the camera to pc without using the tape again the picture on the pc is perfect. I always select the highest quailty in the software when recording to pc but still its pixelated. if i record it to disc using nero its pixelated on the t.v.
what am i doing wrong. i have 512 mb ram the graphics card is upto spec the proccessor is 800mhz (on the border) the same happens on a friends pc with better spec |

hello.
I have a panasonic digital camcorder NVGS11 and would like to know how to transfer mini-DV video to my PC (Windows XP). All I've got at the moment is a USB cable and a software (DV studio 3) that came with the camcorder. With these two I can easily transfer still pictures to my pc, but not video. Is firewire a necessary requirement to transfer video ? Can USB do the same job or is it not adequate? Also, what kind of software would you recommend for transfering video to pc? Any help you could offer would be much appreciated. You may either reply to me in this message board or by sending an email to n_tsotros@yahoo.com. many thanks |

New here. This is a probably simple/basic question, but I can't figure it out. How do you transfer sound and video to your computer from a digital camcorder via USB port? I have software that I am able to transfer the video footage to successfully, but haven't figured out how to get the audio on there as well |

Does the JVC have a DV output? Is it a Digital Video camera? If it is, it usually has a DV output and you can use a DV to IEEE1394 cable and you can go from there. |

It is an analogue camera and only has a DV in and A and V connection so I can connect to the mains or tv. It is an old camera and uses tapes so I assume that no is the answer. |

remove any other prgrams that deal with video processing like arcsoft or roxio, etc. Seems like you are having conflicts. |
