[smiles 0]

I am such a wuffo with this stuff...

looking for info on capturing my nephew's awesome skateboard footage- (isn't digital) taken with older camcorder-----

to my pc (video editing program)

My (panasonic miniDV digital palmcorder) ..has cords that attach to the ieee 1394 firewire ports for digital video. (can capture from a DV camcorder to PC)
We have so far recorded his footage to vcr tape,
but would sure be a riot, to get this footage into my video editing program.

Can digital cams input analog and record???
Can you purchase pci card that has ports to input analog???

thanx

Hey, can always lend him my palmcorder to record all those tricks??or spend the afternoon trying to video them myself.
...(note to self *** buy him a tandem jump!)

My advise, buy a DAZZLE ( www.dazzle.com) the model I suggest is the DAZZLE 150, you need a USB port available in your PC.

I don't know what OS are you running, but if you have XP you can use MOVIE MAKER (bundled with XP under ENTERTAINMENT)

have fun.

alright!..........he is amping now,
nice to know there is possibilities-
he is dying to send in his footage and dreaming
of being sponsored.

thanx for the offer,
we just called the d.z. and they can edit for him,
and throw in some tunes.
