How new does my camera need to be to be able to put video on the internet.......

 

It could be ancient, as long as it has an output, it depends on how much equipment you are willing to buy for your PC to import it. You could get a player for the tapes in the camera, which you can then import video to your PC with, then upload to a site.

Let me know what camera you have and I'll google it and look up some information and let you know.

 

Best thing to do is take it with you to Bestbuy or CircuitCity if you arent to tech smart. They will take care of you. If the camera was made within the past five years, then you have firewire capabilities which s FAR better than USB. If you can afford it, then get the firewire and adaptor ($100) and Pinnicle 9 for movie making ($100). Pinnicle is one of the best movie making videos. Thats what I used for all my GT videos.

 

if your cameria has firewire then you can transfer video onto the computer, u dont need Pinnicle 9 its expensive. If you dont have a firewire port just go to the store or buy a pci firewire card for about 25 bucks.

if your camera doesnt have firewire, then your going to need a capture card which has a composite video input and sound imput into your computer that will record anything that you plug into it (the 3 color wires yellow, red, white)

then if your not 2 savvy on video editing, just use windows movie maker.


orr what my friend did was bought a sony camera for 75 bucks that plugs into the computer. Find them used.
