vinniekrish Unregistered guest | I have SONY TRV27 handycam. By going through this board, I understand that I need a firewire cable and then a firewire port for cam to PC streaming. Since I do not have both, before venturing into that, can someone throw some light whether it is possible to do it via USB. What cable do I need? Many thanks |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 2541 Registered: Dec-03 | vinniekrish, first answer this, does your camcorder have a USB output that can stream video or just still pictures? Be careful now, a lot of people had made mistakes about this one. If you have a DV output on your camcorder, do yourself a favor and try to avoid complications. Get the the fire wire and forget about USB. But hey, if you want the headache...just try and figure out the USB part. good luck, you'll need it. |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 2542 Registered: Dec-03 | Did you know about all these features available on your camcorder??? The camcorder has a IEEE 1394 Firewire port for transferring your video to and from your camcorder to your computer or to any other digital device. The camcorder has both standard, RCA and S-Video in out ports. The DCR-TRV27 adds USB streaming, which has also been added to many other Sony digital camcorders. This feature allows the user to hook the camcorder up to their camcorder and stream 320 x 240 video, effectively using the camcorder as a web cam. This feature can be used to shoot video for emails, for the web, or for videoconferencing. The problem is, you did not read what the camera is capable of doing. You have a manual, read it! Now the USB stream is not a very good video quality so you still need to use the fire wire port. You need a firewire port on your pc. I suggest you get one, if you have any intention of doing any video to dvd transfer. The you need a DV to IEEE1394 cable to link your camera to the PC. |

Unregistered guest | I've got a Sony DCR-TRV350 Digital 8 and I've been transferred both Video and Still images using Pixela 1.0 to my PC earlier. PC OS was Win2K Server. However I've got a new PC with Win XP Professional and now I cannot get the Videos to my PC with the software. I couldn't see or hear anything on the PC. It just said the "Camcorder is not found" Then I installed a new Software came with my P73 Cybershot and then I can see the videos on Pixela window, but still I can't get sound on it. However the new Software came with P73 "Picture package" captures both sound and video. Does any one has a solution for this or experienced this before ? |

Unregistered guest | Hi Guys...I got a new Handycam as SONY DCR-HC30E, everything is OK but transferring the movie from camcorder to PC is a headache. Picture package supplied has only 'Automatic movie maker' option and thru that option, the software adds music and styles to the recorded movie. I tried Window Movie Maker also, it works fine but the quality of the movie is not good. Is there any way to transfer the movie recorded in cam to pc as it is. My OS is XP Professional, I have not tried it on other OS as Win 2000. Any help will be highly appreciated. Reg......Vipin Madan |
|
Anonymous | For those with SONY trv 255E using USB : Use Windows Movie Maker for transfer video! It is not a nice capture but it is better than nothing. And throw that picturepackage garbage away.... |
|
Unregistered guest | Just a note, there are only 3!!! camcorders on the market that use USB HIGH-SPEED to transfer video with full quality and sound. All are JVC, but you have to buy their 70 dollar conversion cable and software. ALL other DV models use Firewire{a.k.a. IEEE 1394, DV, Ilink}. (I know, I know, there is also the solid state camcorders that use usb, but until the JVC everio series is out, there is no point on wasting your money on them.) |

Sony Handycam Unregistered guest | i have a Sony Handycam CCD-TR427E. it has a audio/video hole to plug in to TV/VCR etc and a RFU DC Out can you tell me what type of wire to use to connect to the PC. I took it to a Computer Shop and they said I would need a TV tuner to connect it to the PC. can i use anything else than the TV tuner? |
|
vinniekrish Unregistered guest | Berny...Thanks for your suggestion and advise. I understand the need for firewire cable and card. (Sony DCR TRV27 does not support video streaming through USB). My manual suggets 4pin to 4pin firewire cable. But my question is whether should I restict for 4 pin firewire card? Cant I go for 6 pin firewire card and make it work with 4-pin to 6-pin cable? Just for a reasoning.. And to your other point, (TRV27 can be hooked up to PC to work like webcam) I doubt whether it is possible as USB allows only still photography transfers. |

My software CD was damaged, and Panasonic won't replace it. Could anyone please tell me where I could download another Usb-Driver. I was really wanting to know how to get my footage onto the computer. After reading the other posts, it seems that I need to buy a firewire???? Will I be able to get the footage onto my computer after I purchase one??? If anyone knows, could they please help me out. |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 2671 Registered: Dec-03 | vinniekrish, I use a 4 pin to 6 pin cable and it works great. If you can get a 6 pin firewire...it would work better as a lot of peripherals that are on firewire use a 6 pin port. The thing with streaming video via usb is what the sony people are using for a selling point. The quality is not good at all. |

Nagendra Murthy Unregistered guest | Hi, All who are having trouble with transfering video from Sony camcoder to laptop check out this There are 2 options 1) download "ulead media studio" this is a excellent one with excellent video and sound clarity, but you have to pay $149 2) Use Windows movie maker and select USB audio device while transfer, clarity is not so good as ulead but Ok. Its very unfortunate that sony didn't give a good software for transfering video |

mcar Unregistered guest | How do I know if I need a 6 pin firewire cable or a 4 pin firewire cable ? I have a Sony TRV27 miniDV and an HP Pentium 4 computer with a firewire port and need to connect the two. I know what the connection on the camcorder looks like, but how do I find out if the firewire port on the computer is a 6 pin or a 4 pin ? |
|
Anonymous | Hilarious reading - Berny you have the patience of a saint! I know virtually nothing about this subject, but from reading the postings, I have the following observations for Sony & Picture Package: 1. You can USB stream video to mgeg-1 (using the burn to Video CD option). In the process it writes the mpeg-1 to a temp folder and can be copied elsewhere. 2. This is very poor quality. I don't know if it's the USB stream or the format, but from what I've just read, it sounds like it's the USB stream. 3. You can try ulead media studio with the USB stream to generate mpeg-2. This is better quality, but still not very good. 4. It seems you need to use a different method, either the TV tunner card or the firewire / ilink connection. Does this sound right? |

Unregistered guest | First of all sorry if I'm asking the same question that has been asked already. I Tried to scan the posts to see if someone had the same problem, but your head starts to swim after a minute. I have a Sony DCR-HC40. I am running windows xp and I have pinnacle studio 8 (and movie maker of course) My computer seems to recognize when I plug my camera in the usb (it makes the "new drive" noise) but when I try to capture video using either program it says that it doesn't recognize any camera attached. I installed the Super-Sucker software that came with it, thinking there must be a necessary driver hidden somewhere in that pile of high school level programming, to no avail. Please give me some tips. I am an art student working on a portfolio deadline, and don't have much time to research something that should be so simple. |

Unregistered guest | I want to configure the 'USB Streaming' mode in my Sony Handycam DCR-HC40E. But I can't fgure out where do it from. I couldn't find it in any menu.

It captured only the video but not the audio. Please I need some urgent help here. |

Unregistered guest | hello Berny,I was recently gifted a DCR TRV255E Digital 8 handycam. I am also very new to computers. I read the both the operation guides many many times to make sure that I was doing every thing alright. The problems that I am facing is that record to computer using the supplied picture package I am unable to find out the still pictures. secondly the video recorded to PC is with some music,not the original recordin sounds. and the video is recorded in haphazard scenes ie every few seconds the recording goes back and forth. i then tried to use the VCD burn feature but when the options feature comes on the boxs for destination and speed are empty. Could you please tell me as to how to record video from handycam to PC or VCD in the same form as on handycam. I have p4 PC with XP and samsung CD rom and BENQ writer. could you also please tell me how to view the stills. looking forwards to your answer. thanks PS please excuse me for not very technicl explanations I am in my 80's |

Unregistered guest | Is anybody knows how to transfer video from my Panasonic NV-GS11EG DV camera?. It has a USB 2.0 which is used only for photos and still images and a DV port marked as "DV out". What does that means? Am I able to transfer video into my PC with this function? I do read the previous messages regarding the steps that I have to follow in order to connect the DV (out?) with my PC but my question is if my DV camera is compatible with this firewire. mohammadboy2000@yahoo.com Thank you in advance |

AJE Unregistered guest | I am new here and I have a SIMPLE question that I did not see asked in any the above posts. I have a Sony Digital 8 camcorder, and I have had NO PROBLEMS transferring digital video to my PC using my the DV output/IEEE 1394. My friend asked me if I could tranfer a Hi8 video cassette for him through my Digital 8 camcorder, with it's DV output. Can I? Can analog video be transferred through Firewire?? Thank you so much in advance! |
|
beno Unregistered guest | for all the issue above, the answer from Sony is here http://www.sony.net/enjoy-photo-movie/handycam/features/p p/connect_e.html For higher picture quality, use an i.LINK cable to create DVDs or store data in AVI format on your HDD -Connect Handycam and PC i.LINK (IEEE1394) terminals via an optional i.LINK cable |
|
AJE Unregistered guest | Beno - thanks for your response, but that link doesn't work. As I mentioned in my post, I did plan on using the IEEE 1394 connector and cable, just like I do when I transfer Digital8. My specific question was, if I am using an old Hi8 tape in my same camcorder, will the IEEE 1394 output work, since the tape is analog and not digital. By the way, my camcorder is a SONY DCR-TRV330. WHen I go through the menus, one of the options is "A/V -> DV OUT" Is this what I use for this specific purpose (again, to take a Hi8, non-digital tape, play it in my Digital8 camcorder, and use the IEEE 1394 connector and cable to "digitally" transfer the video to my computer). Thanks!!! |

Rocko Unregistered guest | Guys, why are you wasting so much money? I have Panasonic gs11 and you can very easiliy record videos by using microsoft's movie maker that comes with winXP. Besides, you can do it with the usb cable provided with the camera. No need for firewire or whatever other stuff. Yes, it is true it doesn't say so in the manuals, but experimenting is sometimes good... Hope this helps. |

Anonymous | I found this page that answers all your questions. Simply put USB cannot tranfer Digital video ref: http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/connecting_camcorder_to_computer_wizard.htm The second criteria is that both your computer and your camcorder have to have a firewire port. Firewire is also known as IEEE1394, Digital Video (DV), and iLink. The USB port does not transfer digital video - not even USB2.0! If your camcorder is an older non-digital model such as VHS, SVHS, 8mm or Hi8, or anything in an analog format, this series of pages will not help you unless you are using a third-party device which accepts analog video and translates it to digital video. Examples of these devices are the Hollywood Dazzle, DV-bridge and the ADS Technologies Instant DVD. |

|
kuchkuch Unregistered guest | adeythambi, following are some of the softwares that allow conversion from avi to vcd format. dvdsanta winavi tmpgenc the first two on the list are easy-to-use all-in-combo with encoder and burning software, but doesn't produce exceptional quality. If you want quality, the last one on the list and cce sp(cinema craft.. $$$$) are some of the more powerful alternatives. However you have lot more work to do. these two will produce mpg(ext) file with mpeg-1 video stream and mp2 or mp3 audio depending on your choice. you will need a good burning software like nero to burn them as vcd. note: vcd's have .dat ext and nero should automatically do that for you. also look into *ksvcd* if your dvd player supports it. you can get upto 120 minutes of near dvd quality on a 700mb cd. 120 min is pushing it though. hopefully i haven't confused you too much. |
|
kuchkuch Unregistered guest | i thought i should add some more softwares to the list. however these are only encoders not capture program. they are not listed according to their performance, somehow i was too lazy to sort them. 1)main concept encoder 2)d.i.k.o (by far the best all-in-one, come's with its own quenc encoder, and it's free too) been making lots of kdvds and ksvcds. i.e. equivalent of 3 full length movies on a dvd and one full length movie on a cd. |

Unregistered guest | i have a dcrtrv-38 sony minidv camara and a hp m7060n media center pc. when transferring video to windows movie maker 2 or pixela image mixer, usb works fine, although a little grainy, however firewire does not recognize the camera on either program. i know the firewire port on the camera is operational because my dvr picks it up instantly. i have run diagnostics on the firewire card and it checks out ok. have tried several different firewire cables, and even took camera to local retail outlet and connected it to several different display models, including sony vaio computer, still no recognition, have talked with every wizard and geek i know, don't want to use usb. can i try fiber? if so, how? would really like to get firewire working. |

Restart the computer, wait until windows re-installs the firewire. Re-start again, then wait until the pc is booted up completely. Power off your camera then plug it in using firewire, then power it on. |

It was kind of implied in the "check your camera on another PC" advice, but the explicit advice to re-install the firewire card is good. Cheers, Chris |

Unregistered guest | Hi , I have bought a handycam sony DCR TRV 120E MODEL some many years ago and now I need a software or driver to transfer my video to PC? Would you please help me what do I have to do? By the way I search on esupport.sony.com but I don't found any things B. Regards Saeed |

Silver Member Username: GromitPost Number: 199 Registered: Mar-05 | Saeed, From the basic research I did this evening, it looks like this model has a firewire interface, in which case there is an excellent chance it will simply work if connected to a properly installed firewire card in your PC (i.e. no need for specific drivers). These cards are very cheap so why not give it a go? Hope that helps. |

New member Username: Sweetgirl25Post Number: 1 Registered: May-05 | I hope someone can please help me. I have a 10 yr old 8mm camcorder (Sony Video 8 CCD-FX640)and want to transfer the video to my PC. I just purchased and installed ADS Tech USB Video CD software. After I open the Video Studio 9SE program that comes with it I am able to get the audi signal, but not the video signal. I plugged the three cables (red, white, & yellow)into my TV to see if the cables and camcorder works and it works fine. I tried changing the video settings, but no success. Can anyone help me to get the video signal to transfer? |

Silver Member Username: GromitPost Number: 202 Registered: Mar-05 | Kerry, I haven't checked the spec of your camera, but I rather suspect it does not support USB. Are you sure there is a USB connector on it? The fact that you are connecting "red white and yellow" cables seems to confirm that it isn't USB. Those cable are used to transfer analogue video (yellow cable) and analogue audio (red and white). Assuming that your camcorder does indeed only have an analogue output, you'll need to get a video capture card for your PC. Leadtek is a leading manufacturer of these devices. Your PC needs to be reasonably fast for this process to run without losing information. Hope that helps. |

New member Username: Sweetgirl25Post Number: 2 Registered: May-05 | Thanks for helping. I really appreciate it. You are correct that my camcorder is analog. However, the software that I purchased (ADS Tech USB Instant Video CD) is supposed to allow for the transfer of movies from from the older analog camcorders and even VCR's. In my software package, they provide an external anaolog/USB adapter. This adapter has thee inputs (yellow, red, & white) on one end and a USB output on the other end. I plugged in all three analog cables from my camcorder and then plugged the USB into my PC. The audio signal was recognized, but not the video signal. This is what I was hoping that someone could help me with. Thanks, again. Kerry |

Silver Member Username: GromitPost Number: 204 Registered: Mar-05 | Sid_d_gr8 (Berny, excuse me), I think you will probably find that the infrared port on your camcorder is to enable it to be conrolled using a remote. The infrared port on your PC is probably a low-speed interface for synchronising PDAs, etc (e.g. 115 kbit/s). So if you can find a way of transferring video using these two interfaces it might be a bit of a miracle. My advice is to use firewire like 99% of everbody else. Cheers. |

Silver Member Username: GromitPost Number: 205 Registered: Mar-05 | Kerry, Sorry, I already posted an answer but it got deleted somehow. This is a first quick check, but apparently your product is bundled with Ulead VideoStudio. You should check that the capture setting shows the ADS product as the device for capturing video. Please confirm this then we'll dig deeper as necessary. Cheers. |

Silver Member Username: GromitPost Number: 206 Registered: Mar-05 | Rajib Basu, To start this project, you will probably need to buy one or two things (all specific products are just suggestions - each person has their own preferences): 1) A firewire card to connect your camcorder to your PC. Don't try to use USB unless there is absolutely no alternative. Firewire cards are very cheap (approx $20) and normally come bundled with a cable and video editing software. The editing software is also used for transferring the video to your PC. 2) A DVD burner. The more expensive models will normally come equipped with quite decent software for making DVDs. By "making DVDs" I mean the way you set up menus, file structures etc. This process is also know as "authoring". 3) Some software. For software, I am quite a fan of Ulead these days. It's easy to use and actually comes bundled with some DVD burners, such as Pioneer. You need Ulead VideoStudio for capture/editing and Ulead MovieFactory for producing DVDs. VideoStudio is also provided f.o.c. with many types of firewire card. Another solution for software is to use Windows Moviemaker (free with XP) instead of Videostudio and buy a copy of Moviefactory on-line. I bought MovieFactory and got a free copy of VideoStudio on the cover of a PC mag. Just FYI, the basic steps of making home DVDs are: 1) connect the camera using firewire (you only need to buy a card if your PC is not already equipped with firewire ports) and capture the raw footage 2) edit the raw footage into useable video clips 3) drag and drop the clips into a DVD authoring package and burn the DVD You can check out this guide for assistance on using Ulead VideoStudio to transfer video from your camcorder to your PC: http://www.jonesgroup.net/media/videostudiodvcaptureone.htm A lot of the information in the above guide is superfluous though - if you just read the first and last pages you probably have enough to get you started. I don't have a "how to" reference for MovieFactory but it is quite intuitive to use Hope that gives you some hints. |
