jvc gr-dvm90 dv

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

The JVC is a digital camcorder so you need to find out if you have a
firewire aka iLink aka IEEE1394 card already in your PC or buy one if you
don't.

After that, you need a firewire cable to go from the PC to the camcorder.
WindowsMovieMaker, built into XP will help you capture and edit your video.

The Samsung is probably an analog camcorder. Therefore you would need a
graphics card with VIVO capability (Video In Video Out) or an analog capture
card installed in the PC. The capture hardware usually comes with analog
capture software.

Along with what Cari says. If the jvc has "analogue in" - check the manual -
then you can use the jvc to capture the hi8 tape via this port and then on
to the pc via the firewire. Let us know how the connection of the jvc goes
and we can give more info on this later.

Also if you are connecting via firewire already, do you get hte xp ping when
you connect the cam - which is turned on, powered by mains and in the
vcr/playback position?
