I need help with my Canon Optura 30 Camcorder!?
Posted by admin | Under Canon Optura Camcorder Thursday Dec 3, 2009I plugged it in using the "DV" Port. The computer found it but says "USB Device Not Recognized." I have like 2 hours of video that I want to put on my computer. Its recorded on the video cassette on there. Is there a program or free Canon software to update my camcorder so my Windows Vista recognizes it? Or how about the port on the side of the camera. It say "S IN/OUT". Basically have the camcorder, and I’m trying to get the video from the video cassette on to the computer. Also, what’s the best FREE Video editing software and where do I get it? Thank you oh so such.

Your camera is a minidv camcorder and requires a firewire to firewire connection, USB will not work.
MINIDV
You have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder….
Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, Firewire to usb will not work to download video. You might end up with only sound or only video. Your PC might not have a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, you need to buy a firewire cord too. Your camcorder came with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder. Make sure your camera is in playback mode. If you have a laptop, make sure your laptop has an empty bay for a card.
The fine print in your manual makes reference to firewire (ieee 1394) connection.
