Hey Guys, How can I transfer video images from my Samsung SCD353 Video Camcorder to my PC by A USB???

Question

If so Do I have to install any particular software for my com.

Answer 1

***For Moving Images, do not use USB, as the transfer rate is not nearly great enough for the transfer of High Quality Video. I have outlined below how to do it via a Firewire cable, the best method for Vidoe Transfer. This is assuming it is a DV Camera.*****

-For this process you will need a Firewire Cable (sometimes referred to as an IE 1394). This will be avaliable at most Electronics Store. For a laptop you will generally need a 4-pin (Laptop End) to 4-pin (Camera End) connector. For a Desktop it is generally a 6-pin (Desktop End) to 4-pin (Camera End).

-Once you have your camera hooked up, open a Video Editing Program on your computer. Generally Windows will come with Movie Maker (located under accesroies), or on a Mac you have IMovie.

-In either of these programs, depending on your Operating System, open the capture tool. If you have properly connected your camera, and have it turned on, in Playback Mode (VCR Mode), you should see it now on the computer.
***NOTE: It is usually best to turn plug in the camera, turn it on and put it in Playback mode before starting the capture tool in the program.

-Once you see it on the screen, you should have a button that either says record, or looks like the record button. Press this, and the camera should start playing and recording to your comptuer. If the camera does not automatically start playing, press play on it.

-Once you are finished bringing in files, hit stop on your PC. You now have these files on there, most likely in an AVI format (The Highest Quality).

-You can then edit and manipulate it however you want, and export it as a movie. To put longer movies on the internet or DVD, you will probably have to downsize it to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2. This is another problem for another day.

Answer 2

Cameras that have USB do not desire the advantageous properties of Firewire. it is by the fact a USB digital camera pre-compresses the video and shops in record format internally on disc or memory card. USB is only a record pass so it does not exchange the customary of the record. The loss in high quality happens because of the digital camera's compression scheme previously that's transfered over USB. The video transfered over Firewire is streaming documents, not information. It has little or no compression utilized so the mandatory documents value is amazingly extreme. USB won't be able to cope with streaming documents. Any loss in Firewire happens after the get carry of to the computing gadget whilst the recommendations is compressed further to make a record. in case you preserve the recommendations as a DV codec AVI record, then it could have greater proper video high quality whilst in comparison with video it is transfered by ability of USB. this is not precisely a awareness value situation as that's a video compression situation.
