No sound in captured movies
I plug a Samsung camcorder into my PC through a USB port, and start up
Windows Movie Maker. I can play the video into the computer and capture it. But all I get is the video. No audio. Any idea why not? Thanks! |

If it's a digital camcorder, use firewire.

That's all there is to it? Then why does the camera have a USB port?
Thanks.

USB is used for transferring still images.

Now connect that to a video capture card on your PC. Of course, if you have a firewire port, then you could use that method. But some computers don't come with them anymore since the advent of USB 2.0 |

If it's a digital camcorder then you would be better off spending the money
on a firewire card, if your computer doesn't have one, and a cable as opposed to getting an adapter of some sort. Firewire is faster and more reliable than USB and will allow you to capture as an uncompressed DV-AVI file for quality purposes. -- -Wojo MVP - Digital Media Wojo's Web: http://www.wojos-web.co.nr/ "David Blackwell" wrote in message ...

No audio. Any idea why not? Thanks! Movie maker only gets the video from the USB drivers for the Samsung digital camcorder, it tries to record the audio from the standard audio system. The Samsung software will grab both audio and video over the usb connection, but the files it creates aren't indexed and can't be imported to moviemaker for some reason. (Don't ask me, I just ran into this problem today for the first time.) I'm going to try getting an adapter and recording the audio on line-in while the video goes over usb, but that will be later today or tomorrow. I'll let you know how it works out. David |
