Hey people,
I have my media project on a camera which films using tapes, these tapes record in "DV" format and can only be imported onto a computer by playing them back whilst a program records it. All i know of is "iMovie" on Mac pc's they use at school, but seen as how i really don't like the temperamental macs at school i take all my shit home to do, however, i can't find a program that is the equivalent to iMovie.
The camera is plugged into the computer with firewire and the tapes are mini dv.
Any ideas?
Ta.
tl;dr
It's ballache constantly having to use the Macs in school to get my footage off of the camera tapes. Get me a program that does it for windows so i can do it at home.
Windows Movie Maker.
I'd say camtasia studio, but it isn't free so you'll have to go with the trial.
Doubt it supports this "DV" format though, as I've never heard of it before.
ah ok then, well, the project is due next week, shouldn't run out by then right?

Movie Maker can capture from DV cameras.
Sony Vegas.

It records data to either a magnetic tape or to a hard drive. It plugs in with firewire and plays back the tape, streaming it into the computer while a program captures the files and writes to one of 4 different DV-based formats (DV-DIF, DV-AVI, DV-Quicktime, MXF-DV), which is basically the same format in different containers.
If it is a newer video camera, it would probably just allow you to copy the files from the device's storage onto your computer directly, without having to record it.
IIRC, Windows Movie Maker can capture and output to DV-AVI
thank you. wmm it is.
