video capture

[Stewart]

Please excuse my cross posting this but I am not sure where I can get an
answer.


I have a new computer running windows 7 (64 bit) and wish to capture my
films from my camcorder either with a firewire card (have one) or with a usb
video grabber.
I have pinnacle software.
Does anyone know if the firewire will enable pinnacle to input film from the
camcorder; it has a dvi out connection to firewire or would I need the usb
grabber.
Thank you

Firewire is much better for video capture. I run Pinnacle Studio 12
Ultimate on Windows 7 64bit and capture by firewire direct from a JVC
hard drive camcorder - it works very well. How well it works will depend
on your processor and memory, of course - but most modern setups should
cope.

You didn't cross-post it. You may have *multi* posted it to other
newsgroups. This means you will have to check any/all of those groups
looking for answers, and duplicating the work of responders.

Cross-posting is better, when including relevant groups.

What Windows 7 removed, is "Firewire networking". Which was the ability,
in other OSes, to connect two Windows computer via a Firewire cable, and
transfer files between them via file sharing or whatever (over TCP/IP).

The other parts of the Firewire stack should still be present,
including things like capturing via Firewire. I don't think
that was removed.

Somewhere in Windows, when you're looking at Firewire related
drivers and the like, you'll see a reference to "61883". More
info here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_61883

"IEC 61883 is a technical standard for a digital interface that
is used by IEEE 1394 (FireWire) devices for audio and video equipment."

And that layer may have something to do with capture. Not that it's
important or anything. It's just a piece of trivia I remember.

Except for the ever increasing number of people like me, who delete all
crossposted mail automatically and without reading it. Doing that, and
deleting anything from Googlegroups, gets rid of all the trolls in one
fell swoop.

Forced to choose between two evils - pick the one you haven't tried before!

It might have helped if you mentioned what model of camcorder you have
and what media it uses to store its videos.

Those things make a *big* difference.

What other group did you *multi-post* to? Unfortunately, you didn't
actually *cross-post*. Hence, I don't know where else you posted. That's
why I can't reasonably advise you where else to post your question.

This is not the best newsgroup for it, but doubtless there are people
here who can answer your query.

I have an older version of Roxio with a USB capture adapter that
accepts raw video. The idea was to capture VHS camcorder tapes.
Unfortunately, whenever the camera does a start/stop sequence there is
a break in the sync which causes the Roxio software to quit recording.
The only work around is to watch it & restart as required.
