Q. For quite some time now I've been wondering if and how I can plug my camcorder into my computer. My camcorder is a JVC model GR- 250us and I have a normal Dell computer. And I don't know much about computers or camcorders. So can somebody please tell me if I can plug my camcorder into my computer, and with what type of cable? Thanks in advance!
A. The JVC GR-D250US
Download the camcorder manual here:

ALL miniDV camcorders (from JVC, Sony, Panasonic, Canon, Samsung and others) use their DV port and a Firewire cable to connect to the firewire400 port of your computer. If your computer does not have a firewire port, adding one is easy if you have expansion ports on your computer.
Refer to page 37 in the manual. Firewire, IEEE1394a, DV and i.LINK are all the same thing. You do not need to use a cable from JVC. I use one from Belkin and one from Monster.

A. It's true that Apple doesn't list any Samsung camcorders as compatible with iMovie. Befrore you consider tossing your Samsung and buying another brand, let's consider what iMovie needs. The only way to import data from a camcorder to iMovie is by Firewire (IEEE 1394) connection. Does your Samsung have Firewire connector? If not, you can copy the movie data to your MacBook hard drive and then open the movie file in iMovie. Here is what Apple says about that:
"To use your video camera to import directly into an iMovie HD project, you must connect it using the FireWire ports on your video camera and your computer. Some cameras label the FireWire port "iLink" and some hide the port under a cover or door. Some cameras have both FireWire ports and USB ports (for downloading still images to iPhoto, for example).
Plug the 4-pin connector into your video camera and the 6-pin connector into your computer. If you're still not sure if your video camera has a FireWire port, check its manual.
Keep in mind that you need to switch your video camera to VCR, VTR, or camera mode and turn the power on when you import to iMovie HD. It's a good idea to plug in your camera's AC adapter to prevent the battery from running down while you're importing.
If you camera uses an MPEG-4 solid-state card or has a USB port and not a FireWire Port, you can transfer your video files to your computer via the USB port. When you connect your MPEG-4 device to your computer using a USB cable, your camera or device appears as a hard disk on your desktop. You can then open the device's icon and drag the MPEG-4 files into your iMovie HD projects."
