how do i transfer a DV from a Canon Camcorder onto my Computer?

Answer 1

If your camera has a DV output /firewire output, hook it up to your computer's firewire input. Then open a video editing program and use its capture menu to capture the footage.

Of course, you will need to have a firewire card in your computer. I dont know how many Windows based PCs come with them built in. Pretty much every Mac does, however. So just you are PC based, look on the back. The firewire port will look alot like a USB port, except one of the ends is somewhat rounded.

You can also, on some cameras, use a USB output and the USB input on your computer. Depends on the camera. However, it will be slow as snot compared to a firewire connection.

Keep in mind also that many of the camcorders that record mini dvds will not connect to your computer. And even if they do, the compression that they use to burn that little dvd will make your video look like crap.

Knowledge of what kind of camera you have and your computer would be helpful.

But that should give you a start.
