I am new at this but I am needing help ASAP. I have a Samsung SCD103 camcorder. I have installed the software that came with it (Samsung DVC Media 5.1 & Ulead Express Photo 4.0). However, in what I have been reading on the Samsung website, I am suppose to use the Photo Express since I am using a USB. I want to transfer my videos onto my computer. When I click on the Ulead Photo, it doesn't do anything. I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling 5 times. Still when I click on the icon, it does nothing. Can someone please tell me how I can transfer my videos onto my computer? I am using HP Pavilion ze5700 with Windows XP Home Edition.
That camcorder has an output called IEEE1394 or DV out. You need a firewire cable to connect to your PC and transfer videos. Your PC also needs a firewire input that looks like this
Thank you for the information. Where do I get a firewire cable that connects to my Laptop to transfer videos? Also, where do I get the firewire input that looks like the picture? Do you by chance know what this is going to cost me for each of these items??
According to specs, that laptop employs 1 input for 1394, probably the i394 you are referring to. that should be your firewire. Get a cable for your camcorder as I described above. Then you will need a decent video editing software. Again, I will warn you not to use the program that came with your camcorder. Try Ulead, Pinnacle or Adobe Premiere.
so i'm interested in doing a short film for a summer project. i have obtained a scd103, which has a usb and firewire jack. however, my computer doesnt have a firewire jack. does this mean i'm pretty much hopeless?
oh yeah - i was looking around the house at some of the newer laptops. there was an input that was labeled 1394 but looked like the same as the input to the camcorder. i don't really know what's going on...
}I accidentally break the installation CD ROM that come with my samsung digital camcorder VP-D102D, hence i am unable to connect my cam to the pc. Could you please tell me how to download the software or better still how to get a new software.As Im really in need to connect my cam to my pc. thanks
