I have a nv-gs140 with a usb cable. I can transfer pictures to my pc - but I don't know how to transfer the video tape to the pc?

You need to use a mini USB Cable to connect to a computer and transfer the videos.Hope this helps.If not clear please leave me a reply,I'll be here to help.Please don't forget to rate me as ' helpful ' if satisfied.

That's correct, USB cannot transfer video from the tape.
You must use a firewire cable the suits the camera and computer. Usually a 4 to 6 pin firewire cable. Check your equipment for the correct port.
The camera will be 4 pin. Laptops are usually 4 pin. Desktops are 6 pin with later models having 9 pin as well.

You do not need the CD that came along with the camera to access the video clips, connect the camera to the USB port in your computer using the cable that came along with the package. You can download the additional editing utilities that was available on the CD from the following link

You will require a firewire cable to transfer the tape to a pc. Movie Maker should be on all later model PCs.
You will not be able to see the video like you can on an external drive. The tape must be transferred in real time. That means 30 minutes will take 30 mins to copy.

Hi,
To transfer video from your camera you will need a firewire cable and a firewire port on your PC. If you don't have such a port you can buy a PCI firewire port.
After you connected your camera with firewire cable you can then use windows movie maker to transfer your video.
See this for more info and photos

first of all you should have your cd driver came with camcorder and as far as i know your driver isnt compatible with vista so better try to use windows xp. install the driver, plug your camcorder using your usb. upload your videos from your camcorder to your pc using ULEAD MOVIE MAKER. edit it and save it with any various types of videos. finish!

what operating system are you using?

I connected with USB and used MS Movie Maker. The sw that came with the camera only transferred still pictures.

You can only transfer from the card to a PC. You can record video on the card in .mpeg4 format.
