Camcorder To Computer

I just took a video of me doing something. (No it doesnt involve anything sexual or anything) And I want to get it onto my comp. Like, I want to save it as a mpeg, or avi or anything. It says I need a firewire cable to do it, but I dont have one. Any alternative solutions, such as programs?

 

you can buy just a firewire cable from the store. I dont think it will work with just a program.

 

u need fire wire port 1st off costs 15$ at best buy and fire wire cable like 7 $ no alternative solutions its what the tape needs unless u have a diff. input? instead on fire wire on camera


need more info

 

Wait, don't you need a USB cable? Well you definitely need some kind of cable

 

you need an s-video cable

 

you need a ieee 1394 firewire cable, you plug it into your camera then you need a port in the back of your computer and a videoediting program its alot of work and $
i have a jvc camera a firewire and pinnicle studios hollywood fx v8.0 it all cost like $700-$800

 

You first off need a camera that is Digital. Then you need to head over to the closest computer store or Best Buy and purchase a Firewire card. Then install that into your computer. Then it will most likely come with a cable that is like a USB cable. You connect it into your camera and then the Firewire port. In the right bottom of your computer screen, you'll see a little note saying you have just connected a camera port into the computer. Then open a editing program for videos such as Video Ulead Studios 8, or just open Windows Media Player and select File > Open. Then open it through the Firewire port ( Should be in My Computer ). Then you can just save it as or edit it by puting a border or a copyright on there.

And btw, it doesnt cost a lot of money. 15 - 30 $ for the firewire. And thats really it, unless you want an editing program like Pinnacle Studios or Ulead.

 

Thanks. I think its gay how usb doesnt work.
