Importing videos from camcorder to iMovie issues?

Q. I am trying to upload videos from my camcorder to iMovie on my macbook but when I connect my camcorder (Sony DCR-HC40) to my Mac using the cable the videos that show up are from the memory stick, not the tape that I have in there. I have the camera on the tape setting, not the memory settings. I would appreciate any help I could get! Thanks

A. It's very easy to input your video from camera to your macbook,iMovie will automatically detect when you have a FireWire camcorder connected.Perhaps you may follow this step by step:
1.Connect camcorder to your Mac computer with cable (USB/Wifi)
2.Select mode of camcorder such as PC/Computer mode
3.iMovie will automatic open Import window
4.If DVD Player automatic open. just quit DVD Player first
5.Now, you can review your video or select "Import All"(make sure your switch is set to "Automatic")
6.If you select "Manual", you can import some clip to iMovie
7.If you import from Tape based device (DV/HDV), iMovie will automatic revise tape and import all
8.iMovie automatic create thumbnail video after complete import

How can I turn my camcorder into a webcam?
Q. I want to live stream some of my school's basketball games. I have a JVC GZ-HM35BU camcorder so how do I get that to work on my computer. I am going to use YouTube to live stream if that makes any difference.

A. Lets review. Start with reading the manual:

There is nothing referencing "streaming video"... USB does not stream video. If you look at page 10, that leave HDMI or the analog AV-out connection.

There is nothing about making this camcorder a webcam.

You told us nothing about your computer. *MOST* computers do not have inbound video capability - something else is needed. Assuming you do get some sort of external box, we assume the connection from the computer to the internet is wifi. High definition video will not work, so that eliminates the HDMI connection. Just for grins Blackmagic Design makes a box

USB3 is required - and it needs external power.

A more practical solution is to use the AV-out from the camcorder to the AV-in of an analog/digital converter Blackmagic Design, Elgato, Roxio and a few others make them. External power may be required. Analog video uses way less bandwidth than high definition video.

Going back to the camcorder manual: Please refer to the bottom of page 8: What are your plans for the automatic shut down? You can use external power to the camcorder - or record the whole game. If you want to record the whole game without external power, we assume you have already upgraded the battery - see page 5 at the bottom.

Personally, with all the gyrations you need to go through, it will be less hassle and less money to replace the camcorder with something designed to stream video in the manner you want. I strongly suggest you revisit using this camcorder for streaming - it is possible, but not a good idea.

When I need the functions of a pickup truck, I use a pickup truck - not a SmartCar.
