Why won't my camcorder work on my computer?

How do you put videos on your computer from a camcorder than records on a tape? it doesnt work for me.?

  • i got a new camcorder thats a jvc and it records videos on a tape and i cant get them on the computer and it would help a lot if someone told me how.

  • Answer:

    Look at purchasing the EZMaker USB 2.0 from AverMedia. I use it to copy from my Sony HandyCam, which also records on tape. The AverMedia E-store sells this for either 40 or 50 dollars, depending on which version you prefer. You might find one on ebay for less.

Most tape-based camcorders require you to capture video using FireWire. Here's a step-by-step tutorial with images showing you how to copy video from your camcorder to your PC: http://www.jakeludington.com/camcorder/20070419_copy_camcorder_tapes_to_computer.html

FIREWIRE Cable! On the JVC camcorder, the USB is for photographic SnapShots (Still-images only). JVC usually has a 4pin-6pin cable requirement. Your PC needs to have a Firewire port also. Unfortunately, they don't give you extras when buying that camcorder. Even their battery is "just good enough". You may want to buy a 6hr batterty for it.
