Can someone please help. Just bought a Samsung VP-D101 digital camcorder and also purchased a digital video editing kit with software (mgi videowave 5) and ieee 1394 Firewire card. The software does not recognise my camcorder (when I go into capture only audio is recognised and not video). Do I need to buy a video card to transfer my recordings to my pc? as I understood if I had a digital camera this was not necessary. Please help. Thanks in advance, Lee.
That is correct, you don't need a video capture card. Connect to a Firewire card and all should work OK. If you have problems with the transfer, try one of the free tools around. There are a couple right here: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/downloads/freedownloads.php
