Question

How do i get my videos that i recorded with my video camera from a tape to my computer?

Answer 1

first of all, check out your camera.  how old it is and what kind of cables it came with.  Your camera should have a 1394 or Firewire (same thing) receiver.  you can find a picture of it on google images, there can be a smaller or a larger size.  when you get the cable linked between camera and computer's 1394 connector.  And once the link is made, your computer should detect it on its own. and it'll be a cake walk from there.  if you need to encode it, there's plenty of free programs out there that will do the trick.

Answer 2

Check with the manufacturers support site for your camcorder model. They should have software, drivers, and a manual for you to read.
