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.

The basic steps are to capture your film from your camcorder, then drag it to the timeline below.  Split the movie where you want to trim items, add audio to the music/audio track, add titles with the Titles & Credits option, save to your computer and you are done.\n\nHowever it would take much more to describe the whole process.  There are books on the subject, help files, etc.\n\nWhat I would do is try to get started.  Of course the first step will be getting your video into the computer.  The preferred way is a Firewire cable connected to your PC and the camcorder.  If you have a digital camera, then the method is probably via USB and the format may not be directly compatible with WMM without a conversion.\n\nAnyway, rather than listening to me blathering on about the generality of movie editing, why don't you post a question at www.windowsmoviemakers.net in their forums.  Be sure to include the make/model of your camera, info on your PC, what you have tried, etc.\n\nThere are also lots of tutorials on that site to get you started.

using the s-vid output on your video card or dongle that plugs into card...or you can purchase an external video capture device.

You can use what Kyle said or if you have a DV camcorder you can connect through an  IEEE1394 firewire port. If your laptop does not have one you can buy the card at any computer store.

Make a note of the model number or name of the webcam\nGo to the labtec website and download the appropriate driver.\nWithout plugging in the webcam, install the driver.\nReboot\nPlug the webcam in (if you've plugged it in before this, plug it into a different port)\nAllow the computer to install the camera although you may have to point the computer at the driver file (so make a note of where its installed the driver file to)\nIf you move the camera from USB socket to USB socket, it will try and reinstall it.\n\nHope this helps\n\nDHW

Actually, you don't really need special software to do stop action videos.\n\nInstead, you can actually tell your camcorder to shoot in stop-action. You know that second-by-second look that stop-action movies have? Well, that's exactly what you can do on camera; you can tell it to record under a second each time.\n\nHowever, you'll need a SONY camcorder for this. Just go to Menu>Frame Rec.

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.

Yes you can ,for sure. but make sure you have the right connection cable which should be combatible with your camera and your video card on your computer as follow:\n\n _ (DVcamcorder) ---to-- firewire cable --to-- fire wire videocard on your computer(IEEE 1394 card).\n\n                          OR\n_ (analoge camera  --to--  S-video cable  ---to--- Analog video card on your computer \n\n                         Then\nWhen you go on the internet you do your own camera setup (setting your camera preference on yahoo messenger ) the setting will ask you to choose your camera device , then you choose the video card device and make sure your camcorder is on.     And from here you go.

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!

what are you trying to ask here?\nYou wanna know if you can connect a web cam to your laptop? Yes, you probably can, providing you have one.

you need the software that came on the installation disc which accompanied the cam in it's packaging. If you don't have that, you may be able to go to the manufacturer's website and find what you need there for download. If you have a dialup connection this download will take at least several hours. Go to http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/categories/US/EN,CRID=1794 and click on your cam, start from there. Good luck

A camcorder can be used as webcam, not a digital camera.\n\nNow, if you digital camera has capability of capturing or rendering video, then probably you might be able to.\n\nCamcorders / Digital cameras come with USB cables. You should first intall the camcorder / digital camera software on your computer. Then shut down your PC. Turn ON your camera and then connect your camcorder / digital camera to the USB port of your computer. (The restart is necessary because the camera drivers will only be installed when the registry is logged off and on). Once the PC is restarted, it might go through camera driver installation. (that is normal). Once all is set, start up your favorite conferencing / IM software and start your webcam. You should be able to view the videos... Dont forget to turn on your camera during this process. else your computer wont recognize any new hardware. \n\nHope that helps

First install the driver and the software that is included on the CD that came with it.  That software should be straight forward with getting your webcam to take pics and/or videos.

Right click my computer, properties, hardware, device manager button, see if you got anything branching out with red or yellow marking on a normal icon, if yes, click that branch to highlight it, then click remove button on menu, try to install the software, then plug in the camera cable.\nHope this helps
