How do you transfer video from a Mini-DV tape to windows 7?
-
Hello, I have a Panasonic PV-GS39 and I am trying to use it to import DV tapes into my video library on windows 7. The computer recognizes the camera to a point, as a webcam, but all of the drivers (including the driver required to transfer) have been installed. I found some information that said using windows Live Photo Gallery you could import,but it seems as though in more recent updates of this software, this feature has been removed.I have not found any helpful information online and this is my last resort.Is there a Current easy way to import DV tapes via usb into windows 7?

Answer:
You might be able to use a USB connection but usually DV cameras use firewire. Windows live Movie Maker should work (under file -> capture video..) but I've not used it for that. In any case, software like U-lead has the option to bring up the camera controls. You have to play the video and capture it to a file using the camera control dialog.

No, you can't import minidv tapes via USB, your computer needs a firewire port and you will need a firewire cord to download your tapes. USB to firewire do not work.
