Indestructable Posted February 28, 2005 CID Share Posted February 28, 2005 Ok, I've been doing this recently, and you either need a "Dazzle Card" if your pc doesn't have analog in, (my media center does...), and a program like (I use) Intervideo WinDVD Creator. Awesome program! Anythin else ya need to know? hope that helps! indestructable edit: with a analog in (AV) on your pc, it will recognise it better, with less loss...and...to tell the truth, I don't know how to use a Firewire cable with this! What program do you have to edit/capture video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indestructable Posted March 1, 2005 CID Share Posted March 1, 2005 Ok, in Windows Movie Maker, I can't get any sound. I had to use WinDVD (which is an awesome program! ) in order for my pc to even get the sound in. check this out: http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=14-144-019-03.JPG/14-144-019-02.JPG/14-144-019-01.JPG that's a dazzle card. See the Audio R/L in, and then the Video in? That's what's on your DV camera, right? This is pretty much what I have, only my Pc has a built in PCI card in the front and back. That one's USB, but would work great. I think it comes with Pinnacle, but I'm not sure. let me see what DV gate plus is...just a sec. oh, ok, that's jsut software...okey. That should work.. Maybe your DV cam doesn't let you just go straight in then out, maybe it only let's you record from the analog source onto DV tape...if that's so, do that, and then play back thru your DV cam, and record that. kinda confusing, sorry hope that helps for now! indestructable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indestructable Posted March 1, 2005 CID Share Posted March 1, 2005 again, it may be that your camera won't allow you to just play an analog source through. It goes into your camera as av, and out as Firewire? right? that may be your problem. in DVD Gate, try to select source as that input, and play back your analog video into camera. otherwise, your only other option is probably to buy a dazzle card. sorry to say!

peepnklown Posted March 2, 2005 CID Share Posted March 2, 2005 Are you talking about the HP Media Center Desktop? If so they give you video software called, MUVEE They also should have composite video and S-Video inputs. If you don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indestructable Posted March 2, 2005 CID Share Posted March 2, 2005 haha..that's exactly what I said dude. I have a media center, and it has EVERYTHING..., so, I couldn't get audio on any program but WinDVD. That's why I suggested it first. MUVEE may work, I haven't tried that. THe problem he's having is that his camera isn't letting the analog signal pass through it into the PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
