Question

How do I download the videos from my Hitachi DVD camcorder to my computer?

Answer 1

if you have a drawer loading DVD drive on your comuter, then rip the video with a ripper like HandBrake

or get an external drawer loading DVD drive.

If slot loading or if your optical drive does only CDs, you will need to use the camcorder and an analog/digital bridge like

Answer 2

If you have a mini dvd camcorder….

You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (I downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.
