Okie, here are some newbie questions. Hope the more experienced could help me out. :embrass:
I would like to transfer my travel videos that I captured using my Canon camcorder. I read the manual and noted that the "DV cable" mentioned was not supplied when I bought the camcorder. May I know where I can buy it?
I'm surprised there are no instructions at all on how to do the transfer. Where can I read more about this? Do I just connect the cable between my videocam and comp, play the mini DV tape and the comp will auto convert it to an mpeg format?
Secondly, I heard that to go easy on the videocam, there is a standalone machine that is recommended to play/rewind the DV tapes while converting them? Where can I buy such an equipment and roughly how much does it cost?
Thank you very much guys!
