i bought my first set up at circut city for 100 bux (US) at circut city. It came w/ a cord to capture the video with and a nice program to edit them with. Its called MGI videowave, Belkin USB videoBus II. IT came with a photo program as well. The program makes it easy to take pictures out of video. Editing is a sinch. just drag the clips from the library into the editor, use your MARK IN and MARK OUT points to edit, then drag the clips into the timeline. Its easy to set transitions and it has alot of effects that you can add. Outputing is a sinch as well and they have a variety of choices as far as compression goes and they make it easy for anyone.

Yes very good, u can buy a CAPTURE thingy card, for like 80 bucks, a good one is called Dazzle, it comes with the software and everything else, or ATI TV wonder, which is REALLY good, except it installs into ur comp, which is good and bad, it has all the software u need PLUS u cab watch tv on ur computer.

[SIM37]

sweet, will it work with older model cameras say from 1996 or so.

[punkrock016]

yup...you can even do it with your VCR, as long as it has RCA outputs...the 'two cord thingy that your playstation uses'. Remember OUTPUTS, not inputs.

Is there anyway I can hook up my digital camcorder to a USB port? I only have a FireWire port on my laptop, and I'm all out of space on that.

[mooshoo]

yeah, well u can by a capture card the hook ups to your usb, sorry but i cant spam, that is what punkrock said to me, ah screw it, go to www.dazzle.com they have awesoime products in which u hook up ur cam corder to a device which connects to a standard usb plug, but u might be looking at it for like 70 bucks american

Yes, video wave is REALLY EASY, and more simple than the annyoing adobe premiere 6 ,l ol, i love Vidoewave it is soo cool, it has alomsot alll the features as the profession adobe premierre, or maybe tied for all the features, i think.... yeah i would totally recoomend videowave toi edit ur video!!!!

[snoboarderbob14]

right now i have a really high quality camera that was like...$7,000 (my work bought it for me...I film for a job right now) and they have this huge studio with all high-tech equiptment and it sucks, it's really difficult to use, but for like tape of my friends or when i work and i don't want to use the big expensive camera i have a little one that was like$2,000 (also something my work bought for me) and I use the video wave to edit that and it's really nice, i recommend it!

[snoboarderbob14]

you can go to...mgisoft.com and download a trial version of this...

[MikeySkatr58]

Hey, yeah I have videowave too, and it is sweet, but do you guys have problems with the Copyguard thing? and also do you have trouble outputing to a VCR?thanks

[Ramprage]

Mikey to output to your VCR you need a video card with video out.
So the video card out and the VCR in.
You also need to hook up a cable to your audio card on your comp to the audio out jack and then audio in on the VCR if you want to get any audio.

As for any copyright messages that might be because you don't have a full version of the program, you're using a Shareware version?

[MikeySkatr58]

The version I have came with Dazzle, and Im pretty sure its the full version. Thanks

[Craig Himself]

try windows me movie maker

[Flip Boy]

The xp version of windows movie maker is actually quite good its got all new featuresa and stuff

[mikejl29]

I have an S-Video out on my computer. I have SVCD cables too. Is it me or do VCR's not have S-Video In. Do I need an adapter that will convert S-Video lines to RCA jacks??

[Craig Himself]

Ben what is on the xp version of MM?

I need some help on premiere 6 u guys .wen i export a film and then watch it in a dif program, i get this weird coloured line at the bottom of the screen. is there anyway i can get rid of this?

[mooshoo]

U guys seem to complicated with in/out puts. Usually, in a computer, in ur video card, it comes with a SVIDEO or COAX connectoir piece, whic is usually an output, out put sends footage from ur PC to VCR or camcorder or w/e... IT would be labeled if its an Input S video or COAX connecter.
SO... From a VCR or camcorder using the RED WHITE YELLOW coards, plug on end into the out of ur VCR or CC, connect the RCA cord to ur CAPTURE CARD, which should have RCA jacks. U can use S video, a new cord, for advanced systems...anwyas. play ur footy and capture it onto ur computer using the capture card's software...

the firewire is a complete different way of capturing footagem different wires, different camera (newer), and diff. ports... ask me if u want info on that....

[mooshoo]

mikej, usually VCRs dont have S VIDEO in or outs. DVDs have it tho, S video is a new kind of trend, u would need a S video in on ur TV. play ur footy on ur computer to the TV through S video cables, thaen have have a VCR recording whats on ur TV....
