cgross 1 #1 December 28, 2002 Hey, I just got this camera, but I can not figure out how to get the video from the cam to the computer. I can only get data off the memory stick. When I flug in a USB i still only get the 1 minute of vid...everything the memory holds. HELP ME. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spy38W 0 #2 December 28, 2002 Yup, get a DV card (~$20) and a 6-pin to 4-pin DV cable -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgross 1 #3 December 28, 2002 Where do i even hook that up to the cam????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spy38W 0 #4 December 28, 2002 DV card goes in the computer (PCI slot), DV (also Firewire/i.Link/1394) cable plugs into that, and then into the camera's DV port. By the way, what kind of camera do you have, I was guessing a newer Sony DV -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgross 1 #5 December 28, 2002 the cam is a Sony dcr-trv17. Now, once installed, will it just download right to my hard drive? Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spy38W 0 #6 December 28, 2002 Sort of, you're going to need some sort of capture program also. If you just want to do simple stuff, I believe the Windows Movie Maker does a little, but I've never tried it so I can't comment on that. So far as other programs, wait for other's opinions because I'm using something that nobody else around here seems to use, and probably won't get much help with. I think most are using Pinnacle and Premiere. -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
