Camcorder Video to PC Using S-Video "icedragone" <u35620[ at ]uwe> 06.07.2007 05:43:18 My friend has an S-Video plug on the back of his computer. We have a camcorder with the S-Video cable. We want and need to get the video from the camcorder onto our computers, but when we plugged the camcorder into the S- Video plug, nothing happened. Nothing popped up, there was nothing in the My Computer window. How do we get the videos from our camcorder to the computer (without buying anything, or at least nothing too expensive)

The "capture audio/video" gets youre camcorder on the screen,the WMCAP utility also does with simple viewing only...

Only a few graphics cards have VIVO capability (video in video out), it is far more usual to be just video out. In the case it is, he'll need an analog capture card, something like the Hauppauge PVR-150 will be fine.... if it's a digital camcorder, he should be capturing by firewire and not by S-Video. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "icedragone" <u35620[ at ]uwe> wrote in message news:74c0ac4705dfd[ at ]uwe...
