well if they are minidv tapes, then you hae to get a fire wire cable (look at best buy, they are between 10 and 20 bucks) and then connect it to your computer

then you go to windows movie maker and go to caputer video form device, then you get iit on windows movie maker, edit i, save it to your computer and then upload to youtube

if it is an hi8 tape, you have to bring it to walgreens or something and have them put it on a disc and then upload the files from the disc to your computer and then to youtube

Answer 3

If the camera has a DV port on it, you can use a firewire cable to transfer the video to your computer and upload it (assuming your computer also has a firewire port). Otherwise you can use your camera's AV cable (the red, white, and yellow plugs) to connect it to an external AV box. You will most likely have to buy the box. This will convert the video to a form the computer can use and you can transfer it using an USB cable.
