How to get videos from a camcorder onto a computer?

How do I get my videos onto my computer from my samsung camcorder???

  • They gave me wires with the camcorder but none seem to hook up to the computer...only tthe tv..

  • Answer:

    Most of the time you use a USB cable. If your computer can't take USB then it's probably too old for the video anyway, and if your camera came without one, you should buy one. You'll also need the software that comes with the camera though. If you didn't get a CD then you'll need to get it online. Either from the camera's website, or illegally (for which I recommend a program called Limewire). If you need any more help then e-mail me at [email protected] .

Go to Radio Shack or your nearest electronics store and ask for a patch cord for camera to computer. Make sure you know the camera and computer models just in case they ask. Then as soon as you plug in everything should start on it's own. Easy as pie from there. Hope this was helpful.

Sorry, but your PC is not fast enough (by virtue of not having the connectors it is too old) you can buy a new base unit that is all singing and all dancing for $260 and that has a legal XP on it to boot.

i assume youdo not have a newer media center style pc. without knowing model of the camcorder i cannot be specific. look on the camcorder to see if it has a dv connection, if you see one you can purchase a dv to usb or better yet a dv to firewire cable if your pc has a firewire connection. firewire will auto detect with windows xp built in movie maker. once connected you can use movemaker or software provided by samsung with the camers to load the film. i usually just open windows explorer and look for the new drive it sees the camera as and cut and paste the footage but i am digital avi format on the camera to begin with.

you have to go to a computer store and buy a Video Capture Device its around 75 to 125 bucks i bought mine at tigerdirect.com for 75 bucks. What this is simply is a hub that you put the yelllow (audio) Red and black wire into and the the hub has a wire that connects to the computer and it also comes with software to capture your images. well worth the money to you can connect and old vcr and a dvd player to it and put every VCR tap you have on cd. Its well worth the money. Hope this was helpful. the link below is what product imma talking about
