How to connect my camcorder to my PC?

How can i connect my camcorder to my pc?

  • Answer:

    Probably, depending on the camera, look for a USB or FireWire plug on the camera. The camera may have come with a cable, if not, you should read the manual and check that it can connect to a computer. FireWire is faster than USB.

I connect mine with a Firewire Cable. You must have a Firewire card in your PC. The other name for Firewire is IEEE 1394. Most camcorders will have this connection.

Use the USB cable included with your camcorder packing. (If there is none then simply buy one that matches the connector size on your camera). You will then need to install the camera driver on your computer. A driver CD is usually shipped with the camera. (If none is available then you can search for its drivers and allied software at the manufacturer's website.)

most camcorders connect to PCs through a firewire port. Do you have one already? You can suck down movies to your PC really fast and accurately if you do, otherwise you have to buy one.

The instructions should be in your owner's manual for the camera. If you don't have one, go to the manufacturer's website and input either your serial number or the model number. Most manufacturer's are putting the manuals online now.
