How do I connect a camcorder that does not have a USB or Firewire port on it to the computer?

Q. I have the JVC GR-AX220 camcorder and it does not have a USB or a firewire port. There is something that says JLIP on it, and that iknow is used with the red and white audio, and yellow video cord. I was told that you can put a video from that on the computer but does anyone know how? Also I have a mini DV camera if that helps.

A. triple rca is the common connection for old school analog cams.

you might need an analog to digital convertor box but they'll set you back $100 or more. it might be cheaper to get a small business video production company to do the transfer for you. i recommend a digital file and not a burnt dvd.

if tho, you have a mini dv lead with the triple coloured plugs you can do it that way.

it should look like a headphone jack on one end and a rca trio on the other.

triple into old cam, 3.5 mm into mini dv.

play back on old cam and set mini dv as AV "IN" mode. on your menu somewhere.

you should see the screen on the mini dv playback.

caution - don't let it run for too long at a time. the sound sync will go out terribly.


How do you download from a Sony Camcorder to a laptop for editing without an ilink cable?

I have a USB cable but because I use Vista it is not compatible. Any patches or fixes for this problem?

A. Honestly, your best bet for transferring video from a Sony camcorder is to use an i.Link cable. Keep in mind, i.Link is nothing more than Sony's name for a Firewire cable (IEEE-1394). I use a 6-pin to 4-pin firewire cable all the time from several Sony camcorders, transferring video to both PC's and laptops running Vista. Works perfectly (and quickly)!

You can pick up a 6-pin to 4-pin Firewire (i.Link) cable at places like Best Buy. Shopping online though could save you $$$.

For example, Cable Stockroom has a 10 foot, 6-pin to 4-pin Firewire cable for a little over 5 bucks. A lot cheaper even with shipping. Here's the link specifically for that item:

Just make sure you select the proper pinout for each end! Your camcorder should have the small 4-pin, while a PC or laptop normally uses the 6-pin configuration.

Hope that helps!
