Well, if your camcorder has standard analog video output (yellow plug, white plug, and a red plug) then you actually need a program AND a special kind of adapter for your computer that will allow you to plug the camcorder into the adapter and then plug the adapter into the computer using a standard usb cable. Also, most adapters will come with software to capture off the camera and then save the capture as an avi, wmv, or other type of video file on your computer. Here are some links for some different adapters:\n\nhttp://www.ramelectronics.net/html/howto-pc-vcr.html\n\nhttp://www.usbgear.com/usa/USB_Video_capture.html\n\nhttp://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Dazzle/\n\nhttp://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/product/proddetail.html?sess=no&language=English+US&prodkey=AVC-2210&cat=%2fTechnology%2fVideo%2fVideo\n\n\nOn the other hand if you have a dv camcorder you don't need an adapter to tranfer video footage to your computer. What you would need though is a dv to usb cable which can be found at any major electronics retailer ( http://www.bestbuy.com , http://www.circuitcity.com , http://www.officemax.com , etc.) Or you can buy a dv cable online from a wide selection of different online stores or use http://www.froogle.com to find the cheapest one available. As far as programs go that can capture live vide, almost any movie editing program is capable of capturing video and you can even get free video editors off the web such as Microsoft Movie Editor 2 from http://www.microsoft.com

To edit your movies you will probably need some sort of special software. To attach the camcorder to your computer, all you will need is a AV tuner.

based on my experienced. The easiest way to do it is to use web capture program called "Hypercam" http://www.hyperionics.com/hc/index.asp\nit allows you record anything you see on the computer and save as movie file.

You don't need a program, if you don't want to edit the video.  When you plug the camera into the computer, there should be an extra "drive" in My Computer.  Open that and just copy the files into My Pictures or wherever.

You'll need a video capture card that simply plugs into a PCI slot, and tehn you just plug the camera in. \n\nWindows XP comes with it's own movie making software, but assuming you have  DVD drive, chances are you'll already haveing the POwerDVD suite of software, which will allow you to create movies and burn them to DVD.\n\nThere is a vast array of video capture cards on the market - make sure that the one you get has the appropriate connections for teh cam - typically the red, yellow & white AV sockets.

You can't hook up a normal Camcorder to a computer and use it as a web cam. The camcorder must either hook up via Fire Wire or USB in order to use it as a webcam. \n\nIf you want to use a older camcorder you must purchase either a video transfer board or a video card that allows video input.

You need to use a IEEE1394 Firewire cable to transfer the video. USB cable can only transfer data from a memory card. Secondly it states that you can also use a USB cable for webcam streaming. Wrong again, a firewire cable (and card) is required. You also do not need any drivers for firewire connected cameras, because this is the job of the firewire card. Drivers are only needed for some USB connected cameras. Hope thats helps!

If you have the files then you can go to http://www.videohelp.com/ to find tools youy can use.\n\nIf you don't have the files then you need a computer capable of capturing images or a device that capable of interfacing directly with your computer.

If you dont find programs that save the video from webcam directly into an AVI format, \nYou can find programs on the internet which capture the images from the webcam and save them.\nuse that to save images [lets say 4-5 images per sec] and then use microsoft movie maker to join them as a video.\n\nYour video's would be of bad quality. ;-)
