Ports, Plugs and All That

Your video will transfer to your computer through cables connected to ports on your video camera or VCR and your computer. Deciding how to connect cables and what ports to use can be confusing.

FireWire Ports: FireWire is the industry standard for high-speed data connection for digital video, so this is only important if you have a digital camera. To transfer video from a digital camera to a computer with a FireWire port, just put one end of the cable into the FireWire port on the video camera or videotape recorder and the other into computer's FireWire port. The icon for FireWire resembles a "Y." If your computer does not have a FireWire port and you have a digital camera, you can purchase an adapter for your computer.

Audio and Video Ports (sometimes called RCA or radio ports): These are the ports that are often found on televisions, VCRs, computers and DV players. They may be color-coded in red, yellow and white. For these, you'll need cables that have endings for audio and video ports. For better video capture, some teachers recommend the cables with the gold plugs. If you have an analog video camera and a computer with these ports, just connect the cable from the audio and video output ports on your video camera or VCR to the audio and video input ports on the computer.
