I'm working on a movie for a group project in english class. We have filmed the movie, but now I need to get the footage onto the computer so I can edit it using Windows Movie Maker.
How do I get the movie onto the computer?
I used the Capture Video Button but it said it didn't recognize the camcorder, even though I had it plugged in.
First please tell me the type of your camcorder, the connection slot, brands.
1.for Sony's and other brands (JVC, Pioneer etc) that using firewire connection slot, be sure that your PC already support it. install the driver from the CD driver which come along with the camcorder.
2.check the device connection from ctrl panel>add hardware>next after that insert the cd driver & install it immediately
3.wait about 2minutes (depends on your PC specification) try to find your installed Camcorder and check the status (detected or not)
For camcorder with the system of DIVIcam like Creative Divicam, Akira, Pantech, Speed, Apacer (camera+mp3player+videoplayer+camcorder using mmc or SDcard slot to save the captured motion image)will automatically detected by the Windows XP as a mass storage media or cameras or portable multimedia player, since these gadget is using the usb2.0 port as a connection (not necessary to install any drivers).
if it still doesn't work please visit http;/www.Howsstuffwork.org
