Sony-trv128-Vista problem

[Loggerman]

Bought a new HP media centre desktop.Vista Home Premium
Took for granted that the S-video connection would allow me to start editing video.(no software for camcorder).
Computer will not show a connection between it and the camcorder.
Sony suggests getting a video capture card.
Any other way?
No I don't want to buy a new camera.

The s-video jack on the video card is an output. You're gonna need a video capture card of some sort.

The s-video in on the front panel.Along with composite video 2,adio 2,all of which are shown as input.
Along with usb 2 and a 1394 connection below.
All are in the "connectivity centre" panel.Which is on the front of the computer.

Thanks for the response.

Edit - oops, I thought you typed TRV18. The 18 is a miniDV.

Pinnacle Studio MovieBoard is around $80 MSRP. Uses 1 PCI slot. Or there is a USB device for more.
