This is a one-off tutorial video for how to capture MiniDV videos from an old camcorder to a PC.
In this tutorial I explain how you can transfer old homevideos to PC for much cheaper than sending your tapes to a vendor, or using an inferior USB capture device. I will go over and link to the hardware and software required, why I choose certain file types, and my workflow. One aspect I did not mention in the video--keep your camcorder plugged into its AC charger to prevent the battery from dying during longer captures.
A note on file types and conversion: AVI has a superior quality to WMV; it's drawback is that it uses a large amount of storage. Because of this, we will convert from AVI to the modern standard MP4 format, which uses approximately 1% of the storage AVI does--think 100:1 (AVI:MP4).
Hardware you will need:
A camcorder equipped with a firewire port
A firewire cable
A PC equipped with a firewire port (about $31 USD, purchase here www.neweggbusiness.com/Produc... or here www.amazon.com/Profile-PCI-Ex...) --the linked expansion card will require a vacant PCIe slot on your PC's motherboard
Software you will need (FREE):
