So i quickly learned that my step moms video camera wouldnt upload to my computer. i bought a "firewire" didnt work because it has only 1 prong jack to put to my tv like the a/v jack. BUt no others.... so i dont think it will work. i have plenty videos i wann share, but no place to upload because the video camera is junk... but its only like 2 years old. haha

Im going to check out ones that have the USB port, but i was checking on ebay real quick and do you think any of them are worth buying ? They are hundreds less than at a store.

Just wondering

casper

 

What brand and model camera?

 

The one i used, or the ones i found on ebay ?

 

the one you are trying to upload on to the computer.

Dont buy video cameras off ebay. Unless theyre a real brand like sony, panasonic.... etc.

 

Thanks for the info.

SONY CCD-TRV68 Hi8.

 

I cant find any good info on the camera, like real specs but, the camera should have a firewire or a usb port for video and photo transfer...
Firewire The one on the left is the Firewire that you would plug into the camera, and the other end, the computer. Even if there are firewire/usb ports, your going to need to find drivers... have fun. I think your out of luck. But if you have money to spend... you can get hardware for your PC that allows you to plug in the rca ports from the cam into the hardware, and using the software, put it on the computer lol.

 

Nope i bought a firewire, doesnt connect anywhere. Im thinking it may be tool old. But its only 2 years old.... I dunno.

 

are there any usb ports? on the camera?

 

nope.

 

your out of luck. your gonna need a video capture device, you hook it up to ur computer, then to the camera, and yeah, its more $$
