What do I need? To do video editing?

[Jeffwo]

To get regular camcorder (not digital) videos to my computer? My daughter has one of those
old camcorders and I want to put her videos on disk for her.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff


EDIT:

OK...when I get my card, what else will I need?

Thanks again,
Jeff

a video capture card will work. i had a 64mb radeon vivo that would've worked for u.

 

[Jeffwo]

So, I need a VIVO (video in, video out) card, huh?

Jeff

 

[spanky]

yup... that would be my suggestion.

See EDIT in orig. post.

Sorry for all the newbie questions.

well next you'll need rca cables (the yellow for video and the red/white ones for audio)
latest software/drivers fro your card and you should be all set

you camera does have a V-Out/A-Out on it right?
also what card are you getting?

 

[Jeffwo]

Still looking for a cheap VIVO card.

well you might as well get a vid-card with vivo abilities not just a vivo card cause they'll cost the around the same I believe. if you want a newer vid-card with vivo abilities you can get a radeon 7000 for like $45 somewhere on pricewatch.

just type vivo in top search

This will be what you asked and a little more.

ATI AIW 32mb DDR card has a plug in wire that permits you to capture from a VCR or any device that gives you Video and stereo audio to RCA type 3 plugs.

Additionally if and when you get a Cancoreder with firewire (EEEE 1394) feature
you can install a fire wire card into your computer and most have drivers on the Operating System CD.
Then get software:
Premiere 6
or Ulead media Studio 6
or VideoVegas 3
and a free Vertual Dub 1.4.10 or later.
