Does anyone know if it's possible to record into the PC from a digital camera? My digital camera can plug into a TV, and my video card has s-video input, so could I just plug it into the s-video? If so, what program would I use to record?

\\ edit:

I guess this would fall under the same concept as simple video capture; I have a video -> s-video cable, however how would I record sound in sync with this?

you would need a program to record both audio and video at the same time. Virtualdub may be able to do it. You just need to make sure the audio output of your camera enters the microphone port of your sound card.

What i think is easier is if you used the camera's digital video port to do your computer capturing. the digital video port takes care of both video and audio for you. Usually, the requirement is having a firewire cable and a firewire card.

If you can grab pictures from the camera, then VLC should be able to record from it with a little work. (I'll post how if you want, but I don't feel like finding it right now. )

Ah; what cable would I require to do this? (I have 1394/firewire (the same thing, I think ))

Okay, so, I have a Gainward GeForce FX 5200, and it has s-video in, but it isnt recognizing it as a device.

a standard IEEE-1394/firewire cable that has one end that fits into the camera and the other end into the computer's firewire port. my camera needs a firewire cable with a 4-pin end and a 6-pin end. windows software should then recognize a new DV device.

virtualdub, as far as I know, does not have DV support. So you need to find alternative software to do your capturing...like Windows Movie Maker *shudders*

Uh, are you sure that's an input, and not an output? I have an FX 5500, and the S-video port is output only. You need a dedicated video capture card (or an ATI All-In-Wonder) to import video.

I was about to say to use Video4Linux... but then I remembered that this forum is not Linux-specific (I go to one), nor is this topic for that OS

But if you happen to have the OS installed on your machine, you can use that

Any capture card/cable ideas? It's analog output.

I used to have a movie camera that would record directly into the PC or you could film or take pictures without being connected as well. It wasn't too bad, but it just wasn't of a very high quality. I'm sure a better digital camera wouldn't have those problems though.

Thayer's post gives me an idea. You might be able to get a digital camera that can record from an external source through the USB port. Then return it for a refund when you're done.
