It's got to have memory tho. And that looks proprietary.

Yes, to capture video you need a video capture board.
Or device. There are some USB cheapies that can grab component video.

But it MIGHT be possible to simply download from the camera via USB.
Gotta have the cable, of course.
Might be a generic. Might not.
The manual should say.

And you need the driver.

Get all that together and you have a really nice antique camcorder.

But if it works???

Cool. I use DVD Express.
Pretty good stuff.

At a yard sale last weekend..I bought a minty Sony DCR-TRV330 video
camera.
For $1.00

No idea if it worked or not..but nothing appeared to be bashed or
beaten. It was missing the charger and the battery and all the cables.
For a buck..what the hell. It was minty minty and came in a decent
camera case with some bits and pieces...Radio Shack FM Transmitter..no
receiver of course...anyone need it? 49.890 Mhz

So I ordered the battery ($14) and the charger ($14) from ebay last
Sunday..and it all came today. The camera works perfectly. Records,
plays back, edits...the super low light video was tons of fun outside
tonight. Like having a NOD G

Now...the big question is..how to I upload a video out of the camera
and transfer it into a computer?

I dont have a video capture card (yet)...I dont think..in all my
Stuff..so I assume I need one of those, right?

The camera has a USB port..and I do have a cable to fit..but when I
plug it into the computer..nothing shows up. Im assuming that it ONLY
works with the Sony media stick (memory thingy)..which I dont have.
A bit of snooping on the 'net gave me that idea...I think.

There is a DV in/out "usb" plug and beside it is a "LANC" plug...no
idea what the hell those are for. Anyone?

As I was typing this..I found the manual on the Sony site....so it
answered some of the questions. Looks like I need another 2
cables..the AV cable and a i.link cable..and some sort of video
capture card/adapter that will accept the i.link cable..or the
standard video capture card

Is S Video better than the plainjane AV output? Looks like I need an
S video cable too.

Damnit

Is "i.link" Sonys verson of Firewire?

Sigh..anybody give me an idea of what I need and where to get it?

Thats all that counts



Notice in the manual how many pages are dedicated to hooking it up
to a VCR?
And how few to direct hookup via USB?

It's a TAPE recorder.
SO last century.

LANC is for controlling stuff like zoom, record and play over a cable.
it's used to control cameras up on booms and stuff like that. You don't
need it for normal stuff.

svidoe is better, but use the firewire if you can, since it control play
and record on the camera from the pc.

yes.

get a firewire card and cable and windows should talk to that camera OK.

Large RAID systems. Tektronix, Grass Valley and others make them for
analog or SDI (Digital) video.


Here is a analog video/mono sound to USB MPEG converter for under
$10, shipped. Listed at 30 frame per second for NTSC.

Thanks! Though it doesnt do stereo like the camera does.

No, you'll want something that does component in for that.
Right, left, video.

As for the S-video cable, I have tried it and really couldn't tell the
difference. But my video equipment is pretty old too.
I still have a 4:3 (FLAT LCD! TV) in the bedroom.
It's great for the old flicks.

Thanks guys! Ive been a film photographer for 40 yrs..and while Ive
had some experience with film movie hardware over the years..Ive never
had much call/interest for video. I love digital still cameras and
have a bunch of cheapies..which are good enough for 99% of everything
I do...so its taken over from the film.

Since the YouTube evolution has happened...Ive had some ideas that
might make an interesting video clip or two and bought this with a
half a mind (no comments!!!) about seeing what I could do to add .001
points worth of knowledge to interested viewers about some of the
things I do know a little something about.

Much obliged!
