How do i upload film to windows movie maker?

Question

Ok, so on my Canon camera, I finally got the first scene in. I can't upload it to my windows movie maker. How do i do this?

Answer 1

If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder….

Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder.

Answer 2

The DC20 is a DVD based camcorder - WMM can't edit your footage!  You've got three options, you can either buy an editor that can handle DVDs (that's most of them) or you can rip the DVD using DVDDecrypter and then convert the .vob files to .wmv using Super.  The third option is to return the DC20 and get a MiniDV camcorder.

Answer 3

If your computer has the WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER programme installed and if your video camara is properly connected through a fire wire or IEE cable the computer will recognise the connection.Then you can follow the self explanotory procedures by ripping and copying to a video disk.

Answer 4

you use the usb cord and connect it to your video camera or camera.
