Ensure your PC has a Thunderbolt port (not just a USB-C/charging port). Visit the support page of your computer (support.dell.com, support.lenovo.com, etc) and verify that your drivers are up to date. Sometimes the Thunderbolt driver is separate and needs to be installed manually. Also check that your BIOS is up to date. If you're getting blue screens when you plug in, this is the solution. 2. Check the settings in your BIOS as there may be a setting in there to allow data over the Thunderbolt port. Here is an example link that shows the settings: www.dell.com/support/article/en-us/sln305418/restructuring-of-usb-and-thunderbolt-settings-on-new-bios-version?lang=en There is also usually an app within Windows called the "Thunderbolt(TM) Software " and make sure it is set to "Always Allow" like this: www.caldigit.com/thunderbolt-3-devices-in-windows-10-platform/ 3. If your camcorder still does not communicate, then you may need to install a driver, although this is extremely rare. Here is a good webpage that may help you troubleshoot FireWire specific drivers: www.studio1productions.com/Articles/Firewire-1.htm Additionally if you installed a special FireWire driver you may want to uninstall it and try the built in Windows driver as that may be all you need. You can also try installing a legacy FireWire driver by following these directions: www.startech.com/en-us/faq/firewire-cards-windows-legacy-driver-swap 4. Here is a good guide from Sony which has a few other troubleshooting steps: www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/camcorders-tape-camcorders/dcr-hc44e/articles/00235677

I love that fact that the mass consumer once has access to an Indexed video format cameras which was then pulled off the market and never allowed back into the mass consumer market. Everything since then has to be either Proxied or re encoded to something else. DV and later DVCPRO literally capture and transfer to your computer, edit and export that was it. Since the footage was INDEXED every software editor was able to play, edit and encode without any proxy files. The mass consumer is still waiting for a video Camera, DSLR that was as fast and proxyless as DV.

Amazing video!!! Finally got my firewire card installed to capture video from my old Vixia HV40 Camcorder, intending to capture using Adobe Premiere 2024, only to discover they have deleted all capturing from the program! Adobe help was no help. Searched youtube and google a lot before finding this video. Having the firewire card I was able to skip through all of those wire connections. HV Split 0.77 Beta worked great. The video was still too large at that point for Premiere Pro to do anything with. Ran it through Handbrake 1.7.3 and it compressed it way down. Now it imported and worked in Premiere Pro just fine, but there was no longer any point to that, lol. Awesome stuff!

It would not work using the Gen 3 Thunderbolt port on the laptop, so I purchased the DELL Thunderbolt Docking Station model WD22TB4. I connected the Apple Dongles directly into the new Docking Station TB port, connected the TB Docking station to the TB port on the laptop and gave it a try. IT WORKED! I am now transferring mini tapes as I author this update. I hope this helps others. The laptop is running Intel generation 10 CPU.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your mini dv camera is the Canon Vivia HV40 correct? For those who have this camera it has an HDMI port.

But for those who don't have this camera, the steps you outlined are good.
@ScottSchramm2 ай бұрын
Yes if the camera has HDMI, you can get a USB capture device for that HDMI connection but it's best to capture the raw data from the tape in original quality rather then capturing the playback of the video stream. The capture card will either be capturing at a higher bitrate then the video was recording in (wasting space) or most likely a lower bitrate which will cause a reduction in quality.

Thank you, the cable stuff I found really helpful. Any recommendations for paid-for software for those of us that are security paranoid? I was looking at Pinnacle Studio and I have an old 10.5 version, but it's unclear if this is supported in newer versions. I heard Adobe Premiere supports importing as well, but that's an arm and a leg. It's the K-Lite codecs making me nervous. Thanks again for a great video. KZfaq content creators always amaze me!
@ScottSchramm Жыл бұрын
I don't have experience with paid video editors but I would imagine that most of them would work for editing MPEG2. Most won't support capturing video from tape though so you will still need WinDV or HDV Split for that. Just do the capture, and then you can import them into your movie editor and they should play there. You could also immediately convert them to MP4 using Handbreak or another format converter.
@briankneebone9543 Жыл бұрын
@@ScottSchramm yes, makes sense. It would probably be too risky to trans-code on the fly. All, I did the trial for Pinnacle Studio 26 (free for 15 days) and it has a nice interface to import. My camera is a Canon MiniDV device. Their specs claim "DV" and "HDV". I can't claim compatibility for other devices or the higher definition format, but I have no reason others couldn't succeed. In my case this is the way I'm going for software since it has some additional features including the ability to segment output MPEG2 clips if there's enough of a gap and the remote controls work for my camera where WinDV's didn't. Also, since I have other family members using this, I wanted something that had decent support, updates and this didn't require me to install K-LITE or other codecs which had me a bit concerned. I know not everyone has money to fling around, but this seems to work for me and gives other advanced video editing features without having to pay for Adobe Premiere. I haven't tried re-importing the MPEG2 to see how it handles MP4, but I can confirm Handbrake (recommended by the author for this video) re-encoded it nicely. If this sounds like an ad, it's not. I don't work for Pinnacle, Corel and I don't work in this space. I'm just really happy with what I tried (at least so far) and passing it along in case others are interested in a similar software.

This video is my call to give up on getting any of my camcorder recordings onto a laptop. I've got a list of reasons as well. 1. I have a Panasonic NV-GS27, which can only have stuff transfered via thunderbolt, and despite having 3 laptops (2 older ones and one new one.) None of them have thunderbolt plug-ins. Any decently working laptop, used or not with the plug-ins I need, already costs over 100€. 2. All the cables and adapters needed are extremely expensive combined. Even if I would buy cheaper ones. Which ads another few hundred bucks. Heck, I'm a student with no time for an after-school job or anything. And even if I were to save my money, it would take forever. All I wanted to do was to just transfer those few minutes of old recordings onto my laptop, but no. I can't do that. I just don't wanna lose them or anything, sure; they're on a tape, but I just wanna look at them from a bigger screen, and have them saved on another device. There's recordings on there from when I was only 1 year old, recordings from family gatherings, and recordings with me and my mom. They're sacred memories, that'll be stuck on a tape forever, until one day, many years down the line I might eventually get what I need. At least I can still view those videos from the camcorder itself.

Is there a better way of capturing video from my Panasonic NV-GS15 camcorder rather than clear click video2digital converter 2.0. It will then be edited either capcut or cliphamp or if you know better?

Scott, will this work? Have your tried it and have info? 1. Use a Pinnacle 510-USB or 710-USB box (or similar-shaped device) to transfer DV or HDV. These boxes ingest DV through Firewire and convert it to a USB "signal" that WinDV/Scenalyzer or HDVSplit (as applicable) will read as DV. Don't ask me how they do it!
@ScottSchramm Жыл бұрын
I do recall reading about that Pinnacle device and I believe they are applying some compression in order to make the video work over USB. It's probably doing something similar to how USB webcams work. They are extremely rare at this point so I didn't bother mentioning it in the video.

Hi Scott - Great tutorial video. I just bought the cables in your links that I need to download HDV from a Canon HV30 camcorder that looks almost identical to yours in the video. I am waiting on the cables to arrive but thought that I would install the required software to be ready to go when the cables arrive. When I tried to run Handbrake, a pop up told me that I need ".NET Desktop Runtime" to run the application. Is that expected? I am running Windows 11 Pro. Would appreciate your opinion on that pop-up.

Your laptop does have Thunderbolt 3, and your processor is Intel 6th gen with is good. My guess is the issue with permissions or your drivers. Look for the Intel Thunderbolt app and make sure the permissions are to set to allow the connection. You may also need to check in the bios. If that is all good then try uninstalling the legacy driver, reboot, and and let Windows install its own built in driver. One of those things should fix it.

Hi Scott, thanks a lot for this video, it did the trick for me but I have weird recurring issue: on several of the miniDV tapes I'm transferring, the first captured video clip has no audio, even though I can clearly heard sound when it's playing on the camcorder as it is being read. If I have several different clips on the tape, all the next ones have audio and no issue, but the first one does not. I'm not sure if it happens for all the tapes, as I did not check the first few tapes I worked on. Any ideas ? By the way, I found that in WinDV, if you check the box left to the Capture button, the camcorder will automatically start when you click the button. Noe need to lauch the tape playback manually. Thanks again,

Hmm I have not heard of that issue before. The only workaround I can think of is to record a quick 5 second clip of something new at the start of the tape, and then maybe the audio will work on the original first clip since it would be now be the second clip. Of course you will loose that first few seconds as it will have overwritten the tape, but at least you have will sound for the rest of the clip

My recommendation is for people to get the right equipment and do the transfer properly rather then saying "good enough" with other solutions. Thunderbolt has been very common on business-grade laptops since 2016 and is becoming more popular on even consumer grade systems over the last few years. Another option is for people with a desktop, you can buy a PCIe card which is probably the cheaper option and isn't too hard to install.

What if it's not digital video or hd? Like Hi8 cassettes, analog, does this video still apply?
@ScottSchramm Жыл бұрын
If the camcorder has FireWire then this video is the best method. But usually analog Hi8 camcorder don’t have FireWire and will only have Yellow/White/Red jacks and in that case you’ll need to use one of those analog capture devices.

Hi, thanks for sharing this video. Unfrotunately on my pc does not work. I have bought Lenovo Legion 5 with thunderbolt 4, run on windows 11. I would like to connect my interface Audio with firewire plug. I have both adapters, and plugged - Thnuderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 -> Thunderbolt 2 -> Firewire, but windows nothing found. Once connect that only with one adapter Thunderbolt 2 -> Firewire on My Mac it does work. Any idea? shall I install firewire driver for widnows 11 ( there are nothing on the internet).

My 15+ year old desktop computer (2.8ghz quad core AMD Phenom II CPU) that I built has firewire port built onto the motherboard I noticed today (as well as another desktop I built same year but different motherboard manufacturer - Asrock and Gigabyte). Been so long, I couldn't remember if firewire port was only on my pinnacle A/V board (which stopped working is my recollection, so I removed it eons ago).
