Can you help?
The firewire cable will only help you if you have a firewire port on both the camera and your computer. Most video capture cards don't have firewire anymore, but you could check to see if you can get one with it if your computer hasn't got one. Then you need to download some video capture software, like orangeware webcamdv or verysoft webcamsplitter. After that you should be good to go! Depending on your camcorder quality though, you may find that it's not good as a pro 9000 or better webcam.
Oh great thanks so much!
I HATE firewire cables. I want a camcorder with a SD card. yeahhh
Thanks ladies I really appreciated your help. I just bought a sony camcorder so I need it to work.
Hey ladies I just bought a new quadcore laptop with windows 8. I found a few sony evio on ebay but not sure what company to buy from? There are sooo many and I want to make sure I get it right the first time. Also anyone here using win 8? I seem to be running into some compatibility issues with my old webcam. Any suggestions? Thanks
