How do you capture the video on a camcorder to computer via DV cord?

Question

I have a Canon camcorder that is kinda old... about 6 years old... it is a digital camcorder. I have the DV cord for it and I have Pinnacle Studios 11. The program detects the camcorder, but for some reason it doesnt seem to capture the video... it shows how long, but i do not see the preview or the final capture on the computer... help please?

Answer 1

Well I don't really know much about that program but you can plug the camera in put it on play, then try rewinding it using the program u have, then find a "capture" or an "import" button.
