Palmcorder Vidoe Transfer Issues
usb will ONLY work for tranfering "pikts"
you "must"use a firewire cable,port,and software(sony vegas,pinnacle,ect')to"capture"or "save"the video to your laptop.(being you have a mini-dv tape cam)
heres the low-down,
unless your laptop has at least 1-gig ram,160+gig hard drive,firewire port,dvd burner,2.5ghz processor,,,it's goin to be a struggle.
capturing a good quality video to your comp hogs a LOT of space(25-35 gigs per hour of footage!),dvd creation (authoring)is another world!.
if you simply want to put somthing on the web,buy a nice photo camera with video recording,or a mini DVD disk camcorder,OR-a HDD(hard drive)camcorder,,,ALL the priors dont requier anything "special"to get it on to your laptop,and can be edited for posting by simple progs like "movie maker(xp,vist)or i movie(mac),but if you want a dvd of your final product,you MUST have a "authoring"prog like sony vegas or pinnacle.
--from my experience for tape camcorders,firewire is the only and best way to get it to your harddrive(set capture settings to "mpeg2,or,AVI"
good luck!!
there's no software
I'm pretty sure you just have to buy a firewire cable for it (4 pin to 6 pin). This is the cable Amazon.com suggests:http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F3N401-06-I...
