Q. How can I add videos from my Sony Camcorder to my computer?It uses a tape/cassette and it has 3 ports that are yellow, white, and red. Also an S-Video cable port. Please help me!!! It is a digital handycam. A digital 8 DCR-TRV310 NTSC.
A. Well, since cassettes are generally outdated, pretty much the only way to transfer your footage onto your computer is to use a capture card. That's what I use to transfer tape data onto my computer. And on the plus side, you can also use it to transfer virtually any type of video data, including DVDs.
Here's a link to the one I have (copy & paste it), but search around, there are tons of them around the internet & in stores, etc. at many great prices.

Once you have a capture card, use the following setup:
1. Connect your capture card to your computer, via its USB cable.
2. Connect the device that contains your video to the capture card.
3. Use the capture card's included software to record the video. If it doesn't come with software for this, download Golden Video (free). Copy & paste:

Also, keep in mind that some tape-using camcorders can connect to computers/transfer their videos via Firewire, USB, etc. so check your camera for that first.
Hope that helps.

Is it safe to walk into Best Buy and buy a camcorder and assume that Windows Vista will work with it?
Q. I really want a camcorder, but I am worried that either the camcorder or the software that comes with it will not work with my Windows Vista computer. Will Best Buy allow me to return the camcorder if Vista doesn't work?
I am leaning toward the Hard-Disc Drive camcorders, but I'm not looking to spend more than $500 on it.

A. One item you are neglecting... If you decide to get a miniDV tape based camcorder, does your computer have a firewire 400 port? That is the only way the video will import from the camcorder to the computer.
Not all hard drive based or flash memory based camcorders or the manufacturers have updated their USB drivers to work with Vista. Pick the camera - then check the camcorder discussion forum at CNET.com. Post the question.
If all seems OK, THEN buy the camera.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY A DVD BASED CAMCORDER. The video quality - especially for editing on your computer - is terrible.
