How to hook up video cam to laptop ?

Question

ok i got this sony ccdtrv128 handycam model video cam and i was wondering if its possible to hook it up to my hp dv6324 notebook ? and if its not possible then any other way i can tranfer the video to my laptop?

Answer 1

ccd-trv128 is an analog hi-8 vcam. Only digital video/pics can be uploaded to a pc, so that a video capture device plus application is needed to convert the analog video stream to digital.

ms. beautiful angel, may I suggest somethin...

yours is one of the latest powerful PCs and it wud be worthwhile to invest in a good partner, i.e., a good digital vcam, e.g., a minDV tape-based at the very least (best for editing & prices have gone down drastically), one which wud give u already a raw digital video... and NOT a converted analog video where u'll definitely lose quality or a slice of your beauty on cam.

Just add more or less $100 for the digital vcam vs. getting a capture device... and you get a lot of benefits - t'is smaller, easier to cable-connect digital vcam direct to ur pc...

...and gives much better quality. Just a food for thought.
