What do I need?

sc0ttym0 · 10-07-2005, 03:38 AM

I have a Sony PCV-RX450 desktop computer. I would like to buy a DVD-RW so I can transfer some of my home video's to DVD. What would you suggest I need in order to plug my video camera which has only RCA jacks?

You could get a capture card and plug it in. They have them PCI and USB. Your camcorder alsojust might pug into the pc.. Have you tried that?

The only plugs on my camcorder are RCA.

Thanks, I'll try the PCI capture card.

for best video quality from camera to PC use FireWire 400/800 Connection

Thats fine .. you can connect them to the capture card ... also, if your videocard has, say, S-Video input, you can get RCA --> SVIDEO

Assuming of course it's a digitcal camera ... that goes out the window for analog systems
