Getting video off of my HDD camera without USB?

Question

I have a JVC GZ-MG27U HDD camcorder. For some odd reason all computer decided to stop recognizing the camera. I'm guessing that I burnt out the USB port on it. But anyway, is there any other way to get it onto my computer? Maybe some kind of A/V adapter? Or maybe this port (http://i29.tinypic.com/mauxpy.jpg) can connect to my video card for import? I've tried to copy video onto an SD card, but it only lets me copy pictures.

Answer 1

If you go the route of AV adaptor, the ones made by Adaptec are the best. Adaptec videoh, gamebridge ect..........

Many of the other brands are c**p!

your pic is of the s-video port

Answer 2

Vcam hdd contains digital files (not video stream) like an internal pc hard disk and shud be recognized thru file mgmt-Windows Explorer. Use another USB cable to double check if hardware is the problem.

Also check if installed usb devices & drivers are working properly=> go to control panel/ system maintenance device manager/ view hardware devices/ usb controllers.

It's complicated to use S-video (image) & rca/audio cable plus another video capture app to capture the video stream while vcam is on playback. It's like going back to analog.
