| 292930 | 2004-11-16 22:17:00 | Can anyone tell me what sort of cable and anything else I might need if I want to record/get/capture (-not sure on the right word) a video clip from my VCR to my computer. | susievb (4439) | ||

| 292932 | 2004-11-16 22:21:00 | You need either a video capture card installed inside the PC, or an external usb video capture device. A PCI video capture card will be cheaper (less than $100) but it will need to be installed. You also need quite a bit of free hard drive space if you're planning on doing a lot of capturing / editing. | POTUS (5276) | ||

Your pc will need a firewire/1394/DV port and you can use the camcorder to interface and transcode the signal. You don't say how much video you wish to move but bear in mind that 1hour of footage will take up to 13Gb of hard drive space |
