Transfer Video from a  Camcorder

I want to put footage i recorded from my camcorder,which uses mini DV tapes,onto DVD.I have no firewire connection on my camcorder only usb,or DV.What is the quickest and simplest way to dp this?

Hi
on: http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/jvc-gr-d72-camcorder-review.htm
it says: Ports (7.0)
The assortment of jacks on the GR-D72 include: Mini AV in / out, which is also the headphone jack, an S-Video In/Out, _+*and a Firewire port*+_. Of these, the only one that comes included in the box is the AV in/out. The ports appear to be of sturdy construction so should last with frequent plugging and unplugging of cables.
So You need a 6-pin to 4-pin FireWire Cable - usually NOT included when buying Camera.
It looks as it is a FW-connector just under the USB-one on Your Camera.
Use this and iMovie and/or FinalCut should connect.
Yours Bengt W

  • HT2498 how do I find out what kind of fire wire port I have on my desktop? I want to transfer video from my camcorder.

    If you have Firewire 800 it's a boxy looking port, the Firewire 400 is thinner and has a arrow looking shape, you can get a adpater.
    FW800 is simply FW 400 x 2, so the adapter gives you FW 400.

    The new aluminum MacBooks do not have a firewire port on them because Steve Jobs says you don't need it (its a recent joke around here).
    Unfortunately, there is no way around it unless you want to use some other computer that you may or may not have that has a firewire port on it to transfer the video then go through the hassle of transferring the files to your new MacBook for editing. Not a very simple way of doing things.
    If you want to use your current camera to do this kind of work you will need to take your Aluminum MacBook back and get a White MacBook which has the proper Firewire port on it.
    Sorry for the bad news,,,

  • How do I transfer video from my camcorder to my iMac?

    I have a Sony HandyCam (DCR-DVD92 NTSC, 800x Digital zoom, 20x Optical zoom).
    How can I transfer the video to my iMac?
    Is the "Video Capture" from Elgato the best way, or is there something easier?

    Did your camera ome with a FireWire or USB cord?  It should have some sort of output port.

  • I need to transfer video from a camcorder to my iMac what cables needed?

    I have an old Canon Optura 300. I just realized that it still has a tape in it with important memories I would like to preserve. I suppose I could get a disk made, but I would rather do the transfer to my imac myself and have the "tools" needed. According to the Canon tech I spoke with, I need a DV IEEE1394 4-pin cable. But since that's a firewire cable I will also need a converter in order to use it with my iMac. Does getting the "Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire" adapter make sense and is it the right way to go in order to transfer the video onto my computer? Do I need anything else to complete this transfer?
    Just checking—I know there's no better place to go for my answer than this site.  Thanks, Joan (still OS X 10.8.5 for now)

    OK, so that part is correct. Then, do I just hookup and it automatically goes onto my computer? What will capture it, or will it simply show on my desktop and I need to open it with...what?

    Hi
    I'm confused as to which cable I would need if I want to transfer video from my camcorder to macbook?

    The only input plugs on the 2010 are USB. If you want FireWire you need to get a MacBook Pro.

  • Transfer video from a non digital camcorder

    Wondering if there is any way to transfer video from my Hi8 camcorder to the Mac?

    Just to add to the fine advice already posted above. The best way is to use a minidv camcorder with digital pass thru feature.
    Or you can use a media converter as mentioned. Canopus makes some great converters.
    Sony no longer makes these but you may be able to find a sony DA1 or DA2 on ebay if you are lucky.

  • HOW DO I TRANSFER VIDEO FROM MY PV-L559 CAMCORDER TO MY IBOOK G4 LAPTOP

    HOW DO I TRANSFER VIDEO FROM MY OLDER  PANASONIC  PV-L559 CAMCORDER TO MY APPLE IBOOK G4 LAPTOP?

    I'm not familiar with that camcorder. What kind of output port(s) does it have?
    I've downloaded the manual here:
    http://www.retrevo.com/search/v2/jsp/mytrevo/myTrevo.jsp?page=man
    And can find no mention of any way to connect with a computer.
    I'll ask around and see if somebody knows more about it than I do.

  • Satellite A660 - how to transfer video from my digital camera?

    How do I directly transfer video from my Panasonic digital video camera to my A660? I want to burn DVD. Camera has HDMI output and/or 3 wire (audio / video) RCA jacks.

    Hi
    The camera should support other ports in order to move the files to the computer.
    The mentioned ports like HDMI out and RCA can be used in order to connect the camcorder to the LCD TV but not to the notebook.
    So check the camcorder again there should be an USB port (mini or micro) or firewire which would help you to export the files.

  • How can I transfer videos from windows pc to an iPad 2

    I have iTunes on my Windows Vista PC and try several ways to transfer videos from the PC to the iPad 2 but it has been imposible, all videos have been converted to play on iPad or iPhone. What I need to do to accomplish the task that I need?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Importing video from old camcorder to mac without using a newer camcorder?

    I'm trying to import old home videos from a camcorder (from about 1991) that uses cassettes, onto my Mac. I tried searching for this here and I found this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1943045&#1943045. But I actually don't have a newer camcorder to rerecord it on. Is there a way to get it on my computer without it?

    Hello Cris,
    you actually don't need a new camera to get analog video into your mac, in fact there are not so many cameras that support AV-in.
    read the thread you posted in your question again and you'll find an AV/DV converter, a device that "translates" from analog to digital, mentioned there.
    these converters are not as costly as good camcorders, but of course they do only this one thing, so if you think about buying a new camcorder in the near future, you could buy one with AV-in .... two devices in one.
    oh yeah: the canopus converters mentioned in that thread are supposed to be good.
    hope this helps
