How do I upload a video to my computer if i recorded it onto a tape and not onto the memory card?
All miniDV tape based camcorders transfer their video from their DV port, over a firewire cable through the firewire port on your computer. Firewire, IEEE1394a and i.Link are all the same thing. Adding a firewireport to your computer is typically easy (and cheap) to do. http://shop4.outpost.com/%7BDpOIptSxYY+C… You will need a cable too (no the manufacturers have not been including them in the box with the camcorder) http://shop4.outpost.com/product/4338375… Then you can “capture” the video with MovieMaker.
