MiniDV/HDV cameras - transferring scenes
The camera can be conveniently controlled in
MAGIX Video easy 5 HD with the remote control.
Simply go to the position that you would like to
transfer to MAGIX Video easy 5 HD and click the
"Transfer video to computer" button.
Repeat the process until all of the desired scenes have been transferred.
Important: The camera must replay the cassette at the original tempo to transfer the
material, which may take some time.
Import video from a digital camera
This feature allows you to import videos and photos from a digital camera that is
connected to the computer with a USB cable. This procedure is exactly the same as
importing from a AVCHD camera (view page 13).
Import from analog sources (e.g. video recorder)
Video recordings that were created using analog camcorders or that are played back
with a vidfeo recorder must first be recorded with the computer and then converted
to digital video. This requires special hardware that features a video import (TV,
video, or video-in graphics card).
The so-called "video grabber“, "video capture device", or "video cards" are all
available, plus insertable cards that need to be built in and activated by computer
specialists, or even USB or FireWire devices.
Connections to the cards usually look this way (see figure).
The top connection is a so-called "composite" cartridge. the connection
shown below is called an "S-video" connection and features better quality
than the composite connection.
