Camcorders

Hi,
I'm getting a Videonics MXPRODV Video switcher/mixer, and I was wondering how I could get my video to the computer? It only has video outputs, (no firewire).

Would I have to send it to a TV, then record it to a DVD, then RIP the DVD on the computer? Or, is there a simpler way?

I have JVC GZ-MG555 DV Camcorder. I bought it but nobody told me that is so bad when recording in the evning or at night even when the lights on. Does all hard drive camcorders do that
? Is there a way to improve the quality of the recording?

A mini dvd for a camcorder.
Dvd was NOT finalized.
Can it be erased accidently not even knowing it while in the camera? Does charging the battery (charging is done with the camera) with the dvd in there may have caused it to loose all pictures?
We had movies and pictures on a DVDr recordable disc and when we went to put in the computer or Sony DVD player, or back in the camera, there is nothing there and camera is saying it cannot read it.

Please any advice on how to retrieve these special moments?

Canon DC210 camcorder.
We had a disc inside the camera which had movies and still pictures, which we hadn't taken out till it was full.

Husband went to use it yesterday and it said "unable to recognize recordable disc."

Put disc in computer and computer kept saying insert disc into drive. It was in there.
Put disc into Sony DVD system for the TV, would not read it.
Put disc into PS2 and same thing.

Put it back in the camera and it took about 2mins saying "reading disc", and then, unable to read.

Did we loose everything???
How do we get the pictures back?????
HELP

adobe premiere or any other video editing software? What filters would we need and what steps would we have to take to get the desired effect. We want the final footage to look as though it was filmed completely at night and look very natural. If you have a link to screen shots of the filter in work or a tutorial that would be very helpful as well. Thank you in advance.

Both the video and audio quality is poor. I'm using "Firewire" and have tried many software programs, all with the same results.

I'm trying to decide which to use. I know that LP will record longer than SP and that SP has better quality. But I want to know what the difference in quality is. Is it how clear the picture is or better colors etc.
From what I'm thinking, I thought that its just how many frames per second there are. What I'm guessing it in SP, there's more frames per second which is why there's less recording time. I want more recording time but I just want to see if its worth it to record in SP. Can anyone confirm if it only has to do with the fps?

I have a JVC GR-D770US camcorder. I tried using the USB cable it came with to upload my videos to my macbook computer, but it didnt connect to my computer. Do I need to get a DV cable instead? If so, which cable am I suppose to use, a 4pin to 6pin firewire DV cable or a 4pin to 4pin? whats the difference? My computer says it has a firewire 400 port (up to 400mbps) so which cable would be compatible to use with my camcorder?

I have software on my computer from Sony and also from Fuji. If I shoot with Sony camera it's picked up by Sony and Fuji software and same holds true when using Fuji camera, Sony software picks it up also. So in essence when using either camera I get same photos twice. I guess that's ok with me..anything that I should be aware of? ALSO, when comparing photos from each software they look identical. Should this be or should coloring be a little different from one another?

I know I can record or view content on my camcorder while it's plugged in to a wall outlet and the battery won't run out of charge. But, if the battery is low when I plug it in, will it charge to full capacity while the cam is in use?

Hey, I make short films from time-to-time with DV video cameras. You can check out one of mine here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqAV7zQGbwg. Anyway, I'm moving up to 1080i and need to know what kind of equipment I need besides a HDV camera. I have a relatively new dual core PC with 2GB ram and 8800GTS gfx card as well (getting more harddisk space soon). Can you who've successfully moved up to HD from SD tell me how you did it? Thanks in advance!

I have this oldschool Hitachi VM-E11OA video camera and a bunch of tapes of home movies from years ago. I put one of the tapes in, hooked the camera up to my TV exactly as instructed, and it won't play the movies. It gives me a gray screen that flashes "TAPE" so I know it knows there's a tape in there, but when I try to play or rewind, it won't do it. And it's not only the TV, it won't play back on the camera either. It's definitely turned on and it's set to 'Video' and it knows there's a tape in, but it won't play it. Help?

I recently tape record a concert that I went to on my camcorder. I then transfer the video on to my computer. The type of file that the video is, is Windows Media Audio/Video file.

The question is, how can I extract the audio from the video so I can then burn the audio on to a CD?
