How Do You Transfer Video From Camcorder To PC?
Now that you have thousands of memories stored in your camcorder tapes, it’s time to turn them into videos you can cherish for a lifetime. Transferring video from a camcorder to a PC is generally a process that your computer will walk you through. Find all the camcorder tapes that you would like to transfer from your camcorder to your PC. It’s a good idea to keep these tapes labeled for the times when you do want to transfer your videos to your PC. Locate the cables you will need to connect your camcorder and your computer. In some models, you may use RCA cords (the yellow, white, and red cables). The most commonly used connection is the firewire cable. Connect the firewire cable to your camcorder, which should fit in what is called the DV port. Review a diagram of your camcorder in your owner’s manual if you are having trouble locating this. Connect the other end of the firewire cable to your computer. Turn on your computer. Once it is booted up and logged on, turn on your camcorder.
