For a JVC camera I need a s-video to mini USB connection to copy home DVD to a DV tape. Where can I get this?

Question

Like mentioned above, I want to take home video DVDs and transfer them to mini DV tapes. For that to happen I need a 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable, which I have, A/V cables, which I have, and a s-video connection. However, my camera does not have a s-video port. It has four ports: firewire, AV cables, charger, and a mini USB. So I need a mini USB to s-video connection, and I can not find it anywhere so I am wondering if they even make it. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.

Answer 1

You can only use one cable at a time. If you lost your manual, you should be able to download another one from JVC.

Answer 2

I don't know what setup you're proposing to use - you only need firewire.  If they're not there already, the DVDs can be ripped to your PC using something like DVDDecrypter, converted to DV AVI using Super and then written to the camcorder via firewire using Windows Movie Maker.

You can't get USB to S-Video cables.

Answer 3

You should visit a web site that uses you internet connection to find out where you live and that show material from your local shops and stores in your area.

Then visit ebay and mail order websites like Amazon to compare prices and shipping costs.

Remember local stores have no shipping fees and you may deal easier with the warranty and/or return problems.
