Help.

or firewire?

idiot

and what kinda cam corder


also

you may have to get a tv card for your pc to get it

I dunno

My post count > yours.

idiot

Hopefully you purchased a MiniDV camcorder. In which case you can connect via Firewire to your computer. You will, however, need software such as Vegas Video, Adobe Premier, Ulead Videostudio, etc. to capture the video.

If you only have those red and yellow RCQ connectors you are stuck buying a capture card and I feel sorry for you. Easy enough but who wants the extra step or having to install the damn card?

Shit ill check

I might have to do that tv card nonsense.

Not by much biatch.... :glugglug

I didnt pay for it. I got the camcorder for free. :)

Idiot,

Dont go with the tv crap. Get a firewire cable. You most likely already have a firewire card in your puter. So youre done with 5 bucks.

did you get the samsung SCL810 HI8 ?

Idiot.



Post your camcorder model.

Unless it came with it, your gonna need to buy a i1394 Firewire cable to plug it from camera to PC. then all you need is to capture it via your favorite video software

SAMSUNG SCL906 Samsung Hi8T Camcorder with 2.5" LCD

You need a capture card. Check this link out - http://www.videoguys.com/vidcap.htm

Call radioshack and ask. Tell them you got it free and when they try to hang up on you demand their district managers phone number :1orglaugh

kidding.. need a capture card..

:glugglug :glugglug

god damn that was a good guess I made :P

battery life on those things suck

thats why its free

new batteries cost $400

if it has usb it probably has some software to import stuff to your computer.

But most probably its firewire: get yourself a cheap $30 firewire card.. plug it into your cam.. get yourself Premiere or some other
video editting software and simply import a stream!

oh youre fucked.. thats analog.. get yourself a capture card :Graucho

mental note: learn to read a thread before replying :Graucho

yep, no real need for a capture card really.
Not sure why you would use it either unless you had to rip from a vhs or cable tv really.

ahhhh its hi8 lol

my bad

Juicy, Hi8 is ...well... so last millenium type of technology.

No wonder it was free. I got two in a box gathering dust.

I thought you were asking before about where to buy miniDV tapes??

Is this a different cam??

:helpme

I thought i was mini dv then i went to circuit and the guy told me it was the Hi8 tapes :(

it is either via firewire of USB 2 cables... and please please don't tell me you're using one of those useless 8mm cam :winkwink:

I just looked at one of my old Sony Hi8's and it don't have even a usb jack.

Looks like you will need that video card

The jacks might be hidden behind one of those plastic things that you have to open. :2 cents:

This is all you need bro: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1069297834888&skuId=5870649&type=pr oduct
