So I wouldn't even bother. You can use USB to do a file transfer if you had an HDD camcorder, but that isn't the situation you are in nor would I consider it video capture. It's file transfer. So do yourself a favor and spend the $25 for a firewire; most likely a 4pin to 6pin firewire. Look it up on google if you don't know what it looks like. </p> <p> When you connect your camcorder to your computer through firewire, nothing will happen. You need to connect it and turn the camcorder onto VCR/Playback Mode, whatever it may be labeled. Then launch the editing program. If you don't have an editing program, you won't be able to capture. </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dumping-mini-dv-to-computer#post-38699 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:35:23 +0000 chine 38699@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>but when i use fire wire nothing happens</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dumping-mini-dv-to-computer#post-38698 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:33:00 +0000 chine 38698@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>when i use my usb it keeps asking me for the soft wear</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dumping-mini-dv-to-computer#post-38697 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:51:02 +0000 jerronsmith 38697@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>chine,</p> <p>Many editing programs do not support capturing video footage via usb.

Next you need an editing program. If you have no software, someone may be able to suggest free trial downloads. If you are interested in purchasing software, I suggest Final Cut Express if you have a Mac computer.</p> <p> Try googling "free video editing software" or similar phrases to look for a software download. </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dumping-mini-dv-to-computer#post-38691 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:16:54 +0000 chine 38691@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> i have a samsung camcorder no softwear what do i do to dump my mini dv to my computer</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dumping-mini-dv-to-computer#post-38690 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:13:45 +0000 chine 38690@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>help me convert mini dv to cd</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dumping-mini-dv-to-computer#post-15241 Tue, 22 Mar 2005 04:35:37 +0000 compusolver 15241@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ Since its all digital, I don't see how it could make a difference. Most editing software will handle the controls so that you can elect to just download the good clips. That's where you may have to check things out - to be sure the hardware will be compatible with your NLE software. http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dumping-mini-dv-to-computer#post-15238 Tue, 22 Mar 2005 03:08:54 +0000 dmaster13 15238@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ I want to dump my digital video to my computer but i dont want to use my field camcorder, is it worth buying a mini dv deck/vcr or should i use another mini dv camcorder.
