Video transfer from a Samsung VP-D371 mini DV

Hello,

According to what I've read in other posts, to transfer my mini DV films to my PC, I need a FireWire IEEE 1394 card, a IEEE 1394 cable with 2 different ends (one DV input on the camcorder and I'm not quite sure what the other end is? the card?) and some software like WMM. Can someone explain clearly what this card is? Which one should I get? How much does it cost? And what's the exact connection between all this stuff ^^ please

since I have a laptop, DELL Inspiron 6400.

Thanks in advance ;) !
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hello, I found a mini DV cable that I connect to my camcorder VP-D371 with a USB output for the computer, but I need to install the drivers (which I haven't found yet). If you have a tip, thanks in advance! Cable purchased very easily in Andorra!!

    Came across this post late

    Firewire cable allows connecting devices with a Firewire or IEEE1394 port

    The Dell laptop has this port on the right side (mini firewire) and the camcorder as well

    Just pull the protective cover on the right and you uncover the mini din video port and on the viewfinder side the mini DVi

    The connection cable will be a mini firewire Male/Male (4 pins), the DV max has 6 pins but the connector is, be careful, larger

    By launching the Movie Maker software (free with Windows XP), the cam is recognized and the capture is done through the set of questions

    Video editing is then a pleasure

      And what do we do if we don't have a port for this cable in the PC? Are there USB adapters available?

        At the same time, I found a 6 Adapter Travel Kit Cable USB to Firewire IEEE

        I don't know what it's worth.

    In short, what do we need to buy? Because I didn’t follow everything...

    Problem solved ???? my Samsung VP-D371 is not recognized either by USB or with a FireWire IEEE 1394 6c/4c cable. Do you have the solution? Thank you.

      FireWire is the cable used on most Macs.

      I have the same problem; I only bought it with a DV cable with two branches
      but there is no USB cable to connect it to the PC
      can I know what to do now or where to buy the cable?

    Hello
    A video capture card - It's a card that you place in your PC (HARD), and a cable is needed to connect your camcorder to your PC (you also need to have a good configuration on it).
    On Movie Maker, there is already a function "Video Capture".
    For me, it's VEGAS that I like.
    Since you have a camcorder, you should also have a burning software, which also has a capture function (Nero for example).
    My regards
