video capture

[Guest]

Hi. I have just got a digital video camera and am wanting to edit the video
on my pc. After inspection I found that my pc did not have a video capture
device, I have recently aquired a 'Legacy 22-10727-01 REV A' Video Riser
Card. Can this be used to capture video and also will I need any drivers to
insall the card onto the pc or is it plug & play? Hope you can help!

You have the manual for your, "device", how would we know.

Most digital video is simply transferred by Firewire to the
computer. Analog video is captured by a card such as a
ATI-AIW or an external box.

Well actually Nick, I don't have the manual, the "device" was given to me by
a friend that's why I'm asking, if I had the manual I wouldn't have posted.

Ok, so does that mean I can go straight from the s-video out on the camera to
the s-video in on the pc?

Manuals for almost all electronic devices are available for
download from the maker's website.

S-video is not Firewire, S-Video goes direct to a TV and if
you have a capture card/box it will go to that. It will not
have any audio, so you really need the manual.

Is there a label on the camera?

if you mentioned what make tyhe camera is people might have a better
idea but as has been pointed out you should be able to directly upload
to your pc from a digital video camera. Did you get no software such
as an editor with it?
