What cables do I need for my camcorder?

I have a cannon camcorder and i was wondering what cables would i need to connect it up to my computer.?

  • i was also wondering what the best software for taking videos off your camcorder and making movies for vista is.all help appreeiaated.

  • Answer:

    If it has a 1394/iLink/Firewire port (google image search to see what the 4 and 6 pin versions look like). Use a 6 - 4 pin firewire cable from monoprice.com to link to the computer. You will be able to control MiniDV cameras (assuming this is what you are using...) from the computer program. WMM and any editor will be able to "Capture' the audio and video.

By tape, do you mean minidv (cassette)? If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder…. Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder. Make sure your camera is in playback mode. The fine print in your manual makes reference to firewire (ieee 1394) connection.
