Nv gs 75 how does it work to watch videos?

Hello, if it's for connecting to a TV, you need an S-video or composite (RCA yellow) connection plus audio (RCA red and white). If it's on PC, here are the conditions
Editing for tape

The initial request: "I recorded a mini DV or DVCAM tape and I'm looking to transfer the video from the camcorder to my computer (PC or MAC) to edit it. How do I set up the computer to capture the video onto a hard drive?"

- 1. Prerequisite. The computer must be equipped with a firewire connector (or ilink, or IEEE1394, or DV, it's the same thing) *. There are two possibilities. Either the computer has one, and everything is fine, or it doesn't, in which case you need to add this connector to the computer. On PCs, recent quality motherboards usually have at least one. But if necessary, installing one is actually simple and not expensive (€10 to €20). You open the case and insert the card equipped with a firewire connector into one of the free PCI slots on the motherboard.
On a laptop without firewire, buy an adapter for the express card port (pcmcia), the small slot on the side of the laptop protected by a dummy card
(Firewire-expresscard adapter online)

Warning: do not use the USB cable supplied with the device to capture video to the computer. The USB connection should only be used for transferring photos or low-definition video. For good definition, without loss, only use firewire connectors (or ilink, or IEEE1394, or DV).

- 2. Connect the camcorder to the computer using the appropriate firewire cable. Depending on the situation, this cable will be a 4/4 or a 6/4, meaning it has a connector that fits on one side for the camcorder and on the other side for the computer (the camcorder equipped with DV IN uses the same DV connector to transfer videos (OUT) and receive them (IN)).

- 3. The computer recognizes the camcorder when it's connected or when you switch it to VCR mode. At this point, what should you respond to the Windows prompt on PC? Answer: nothing. Why? Because you sometimes need to set up the software the first time you use it. Therefore, if this has not already been done, open a video editing software, for example, Windows Live Movie Maker, which is included in Windows or downloadable, or Imovie on Mac, and look for its capture interface. If the capture software has not already been set up or if it has been previously used for capturing via USB connectors, it must be configured to capture in DV or HDV. The appropriate setting in Europe, with a DV camcorder in PAL, is: DV PAL, 720 X 576, 25 frames
And for HDV 1440, 1920x 1080

- 4. Then, either you start the capture and let the computer transfer the captured file into a default parameter directory, or you prefer to make other adjustments to send the video to a hard drive different from the one intended by the OS (Windows XP on PC). In any case, you are now able to control the capture of video from the camcorder. You can also fine-tune the settings (capture the tape in one go, or in pieces, or by performing a rough cut with scene detection). Avoid capturing in low definition because today hard drives are large enough that you don't need to have to redo the work and capture in full definition

- 5. Finally, you can start editing on the computer. Open the editing interface, transfer the captured sequences from the bin or hard drive to the source window or directly onto the timeline, and then manipulate them to your liking (non-linear) according to your imagination and project. Ultimately, you can create a DV master of your edit by sending your copy back onto a DV tape of the camcorder via the same DV connector used during capturing. It is only after taking the precaution of saving the edit that I recommend proceeding to authoring, prerequisite to burning the video onto a DVD for playback on a standalone DVD player

remember to mark "resolved" on your message if that is the case.

to record your videos it is through the "dv" port
the usb only allows transferring photos

Hello, if you want to watch your movie on TV, you need an S-video analog connection for the video and RCA red and white for the audio

Thank you for your replies! I don't have the DV cable with the camcorder! That's why it doesn't work!
