How do I connect a video camera to my computer if it doesnt have anywhere to plug in a USB cable?

January 26th, 2010 | by admin |

I need to get videos off of my video camera onto my computer to edit them and put them onto dvds, but I can’t hook it to my computer because the video camera is so old it doesnt’ have a usb port and the only thing the camera does have are video/audio out ports .

Depending on the features available in your camcorder model, here are a few things that you can do to achieve your objective:
1 — If you have firewire port in your camcorder, get a firewire card installed in your PC and then using the s/w provided with the camcorder, transfer the video onto the pc.
2 — If your PC has a TV tuner card, give the o/p of your camcorder to this tuner card and then get the video transfered onto your PC

Here is a helpful guide to transfer videos from camcorders to computers.

    you will need an adapter that will be between the camera and your USB cable.I reccomend trying at newegg.com.they are the cheapest and most dependable store for these sort of things on the "net".I give them an 11 out of 10.
