How can I import a video into my computer?

How to import a video from my mini dv camera to my computer as a video file?

  • I have a Panasonic PV-GS39. It uses a mini dv tape and i want to transfer the video it has on the tape to my computer. how would i do so? please help

  • Answer:

    You will need a IEEE-1394 (FireWire, i.LINK) interface cable and your computer will need to have a FireWire port. The IEEE-1394 cards are cheap and easy to install. You can use Windows Movie Maker or iMovie for Mac to capture the video from the camera. Page 55 of the user manual at link below:

You have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder…. Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, Firewire to usb will not work to download video. You might end up with only sound or only video. Your PC might not have a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, you need to buy a firewire cord too. Your camcorder came with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder. Make sure your camera is in playback mode. If you have a laptop, make sure your laptop has an empty bay for a card. The fine print in your manual makes reference to firewire (ieee 1394) connection.
