Okay so i have some videos stored on a camcorder tape and want to put them on my computer… how do i go about doing this?
A good program would be windows movie maker for people who aren’t tecnologically advanced in the video making department. I assume your camera is using a USB cord to attach to your computer. If your using windows go to the start menu and either search for it throught the command search or look for it in your programs folder. When you have it up simply look for the command import video or extract video. Click the command then go to the menu right at the top of the screen after clicking that option scroll down until you see G:/USB Port i think it was and it will open the folder containing your videos. Then all you have to do is click the video you want followed by the upload or open button and there you go. Or simply go to start my computer click on the USB drive and look for a way doing it like that. I hope that helped in some way. :D

Hi, just wondering whether your camera came with any programs, as this may have a program that allows you to read your movies. If not, you may need a certain code for it, it kind of depends on what one, and what will work for your computer. If you umm im not sure how you do it on a mac, but would you know what it is encoded in? hope i can help
Do you have the programs iDVD or iMovieHD?

yup but it wont tranfer because there are on a tape…. and i dont know how to get them on the memory stick… and they come up as weird files there asf files?
hmmm yea on a tap im really not sure…a good way is to have it transfered to a disk and the only way I personally know how to do that is with a DVR…i guess if you have one of those you simply have a disc recording the program your watching which is in this case your Cameras Tape, but I don’t know really how to run DVR’s sorry partner. :(

haha asf, i think is used them once, i converted them from some xbox game i think. umm is it possible to copy across? like copy and paste, using a usb connection?
I dont think so… Its not my camera im just doing this for a friend.. I never thought of the dvr… i do have one so it might be a possibility…
Yea thats another great way. If i know MaC’s like i think i do it runs videos still as if it were just another program. Plug it in and see if it still runs the video. Youll have to go find it in your computer though.

No it wont run it, the message comes up that there is no default application to open that doucument!
Just means that it can’t run a program ran by a tape…yea try the DVR thats your best bet if you don’t know what your doing and I really don’t know what I am doing besides that. :D I hope we helped ^^
