Capturing Video problem

[east_los_latino]

I have a PNY GeForce personal cinema FX 5700 Card and a JVC MiniDV Camcorder. Im able to view and capture video onto my computer the only thing is that im unable to get sound out of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi east_los_latino,

Make sure the audio cables aie connected and the sound card can be the problem too. For capturing movie from miniDV camcorder with great quality, I would recommend you to add and use the PCI firewire card and use WinDV for capturing the movie to PC

I'm not sure how the audio inputs are handled, but I would also check the mixer settings (the sound bar/speaker icon near the clock). If the mute is checked in the Record Properties, or the level slider is all the way down, you'd get the same results.

east_los_latino, definitely NOT recommended to do an analogue capture of a digital source.

get a pci firewire card-- they're quite cheap, and as ben said, use windv

I have a firewire card, i installed it like 1 month ago, but, would everything transfer, including sound? also, where would i find WinDV?

WinDV is a freeware and downloaded from here:
