Answer 1

To do it, your camera should have fire wire capability (1394). If not, you will need an ADVC-100 converter to transfer the video between your computer and camcorder or VCR.

The Canopus ADVC-100 converter will carry either analog or DV in/out, to digitize the video onto your computer hard drive. There is no need to install any software, because this converter is an external device, just plug and play.

Once the video footage are in the computer, you would need a video-editing program to edit your digitalize footage.

If you have a PC computer you can use Windows Movie maker, or Adobe premiere, which allows you to do all sorts of cool effects, like the Hollywood studios do. If you have a MAC computer, it come wtih imovie all ready install, if you are doing broadcast media, then Final Cut Studio is the best video editing software from MAC.

Answer 2

u need to buy a cord, and plug in one side to the comp. and the other to the cam.

then a window should pop up and click on what you want to do

if a window doesn't pop up, then go to computer, and click on the cam
