Connecting mini DV camera to the computer
As the title says i want to connect my mini DV camera to my computer but the computer doesn't have mini DV slot so is there any special pci card with a mini dv slot that i can install or any DV-to-USB cable that i can get??

I searched but i didn't found anything.

ps. I allready have a TV card with an extra external 3xplug A/V & s-video slot but is old and the quality sucks.

it'll help if we know the camcorder's model number. and most camcorders now a days should have a camcorder to pc cable.

If you do indeed have a miniDV video camera it has an mini 4 pin Firewire connection.

You need a computer with a Firewire port. The larger closed U shaped one

The cable you'll need would have come with your camera. It'll look like this:
Firewire 4pin to 6pin



You cannot connect the firewire connection to a USB PC port.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

On the off chance you were talking about connecting to a USB connection from the camera then you'd use this cable
USB A to mini B

Firewire > USB

Transfers faster, .

Anyway here's a random tip:

You can use your DV cam as a webcam! Crystal clear images!!

www.webcamdv.com - I'm going to purchase that software sometime soon... There's a crack out for it but it's to make it unlimited use, but still a nagging screen appears :[. The trial lets you use it for 15 minutes and you can't use it again until you reboot. Whack!

i know that and i have that mini 4 pin Firewire cable but my computer does not have firewire port so i need a mini 4 pin DVi to USB cable but the more i search for it the more i'm getting to believe that such cable doesn't exist.

ps. Canon PAL MV500 digital

Most, if not all of those USB to Firewire cables do not have the converter inplace. So they are labeled as "extension cables".

I stand with my original claim http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hard..._20643243.html

You can't just get a firewire to USB cable and expect it to work correctly. (It apparently has to be a special cable)

check out the reviews before making a final decision, but the first one for $20 didn't look too bad to me.
