    JVC GR-D33U to computer

    Have a JVC GR-D33U just now trying to figure out how to get my video on the computer so I can burn it to DVD. I'm not extremely electronically inclined to say the least. If it was a USB port hook up, I'd be fine however I'm no familiar with this DV port that this camera has, and the directions are not helping me out much. I have a Dell Dimension 400 series computer if this helps. Well someone please walk me through what I need to do to get this ball rolling.

    Hi DaneT,

    Not sure having your JVC GR-D33U camcorder information correctly. According to the specification posted on a few sites, your JVC GR-D33U camcorder should come with the high speed firewire 1394 interface. Please look at the left side of it, see if you can locate the firewire port there. If you want to transfer your video to your PC via firewire 1394, you need a PCI Firewire card which now is relatively inexpensive and easy to install too. The USB port on your camcorder basically used for transfer still JPEG images and should be whatever for transferring DV video to PC. For capturing software, I would like to recommend you to download and use the free but good tool called WinDV. You can get it from here:

    WinDV is a small and easy to use Windows application for capturing videos from DV device (camcorder) into AVI-files and for recording AVI-files into DV device via FireWire (IEEE 1394) interface.


    Please come back if you need more help with your video task


    Regards

        Hi splean

        The PIXELA ImageMixex version 1.0 supplied with your 8mm camcorder is very limited and mainly used for viewing and capturing images on PC. Besides, IMHO, capturing via USB would never offer a good quality at all. Your Sony CCD-TRV608 does come with S-video which can produce good video quality too. You need a capture card or video capture device to capture video from camcorder to PC for futher video editing and DVD creating
