Viewing Camcorder output
I never had ANY luck transfering video thru an USB cable, either do what Roy
said first: put the dvd in the PC's drive, or get a "firewire" connection. That is what I use on both my Mini-DV camera and my 8mm Digital video camera. You might have to install the card in the PC and also buy a cable. Good luck! "Swifty" wrote: I recently bought a camcorder that records onto an 8cm DVD. Whilst the DVD is in the camcorder, I can plug the camcorder into my SONY TV via the cable that came with the camcorder, which terminates in three "Phono" plugs, Red/White(Audio) and Yellow(Video), then view the disc contents. Is there some way I could watch the camcorder on my PC? I've never done anything like this before, but it seems I'd need some sort of TV emulation card. What might make it harder is that my PC has absolutely no spare connections other than USB, so whatever hardware is suggested would have to be USB connected. I suspect that the issue of PAL vs NTSC will also come into the equation; mine is PAL. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk . |
