297749 2004-11-29 08:53:00 Hi, i have made a small movie on a tape video recorder. it is a sony handycam CCD-TRV23E.
Now what i want to do is get the video into the computer...
but there is no usb cable or any other accesories that can connect. it is an older camera. it has AV ports so it can be connected to a tv. does any one know a way i can connect this to my PC
Thanks

297753 2004-11-29 09:00:00 Pick up a video capture card or TV tuner card that has AV inputs and relevant software and you'll be away.... Try something like this one.....Here (www.pp.co.nz) davidb (5576)
297754 2004-11-29 09:00:00 Do you have a video card with video in signal at all?

Otherwise you could go the route of buying a TV tuner card for your pc as this will give you that route. 1hr of footage will use up to 13GB of hard drive space until it's encoded down to something more manageable.
What format do you ultimately wish to store and view it on.

Another option is to find a friend with a more up to date camera and upload it thru theirs to a Pc, my Sony accepts Video 8 and digital 8 tapes for instance and connects via Firewire or USB or Video / Audio out

Yet another option may be your local Photo shop, some can dump tape onto VHS, CD DVD etc

What part of the country are you in?

297758 2004-11-29 09:14:00 i had a look at the one from dse
but the problem is with that one is that i have A GeForce4 Ti

and it says
Please Note: nVidia chipset based video cards such as GeForce2, GeForce3 and TNT, may not support overlay mode which is used extensively by this card.
