GlynnP Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 For a start this topic is in the wrong area.I dont know about your model of camcorder but lots that have both memory and tapes the memory cards are just for the still images the camera can take.As for putting the clips onto your computer just simply connect the camera via firewire or usb which ever the camera/computer has and use an editing suite to import them.

Will Fairburn Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Ah, i wasn't sure if it was for just pictures. what camcorders use memory cards, as camera doesnt have a port to link up to a usb only wires to connect to a T.V Cheers, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
