I have a JVC digital camcorder and I want to make DVDs of the things I've filmed.
The camcorder came with the usual attatchments to put it through the TV, but our DVD player doesn't record.
We have a DVD recorder on the lap top so i thought if I bought a cable which linked the camcorder to lap top- hey presto, I would be able to make my dvds!
Not so.... stupid maz has bought a cable she didn't know anything about!
It arrived today and connects perfectly into the camcorder.
I thought the other end was a USB thingamyjig, but it turns out it is for a pc
'equipped with a capture board having a 6 pin IEEE 1394 terminal'
:shock: WTF is that?!?!
All I know is the bit doesn't fit my computer!
What do I do? Send the part back and get a different one? There doesn't seem to be anything else other than that to connect it to a pc.
Is there another kind of connection i can get to plug the cable into and then say plug into a usb bit?
Will I actually be able to record from the camcorder if I do that, or do i need software etc?
Already spent about 30 quid on said cable getting special delivery as i need to make a dvd asap!
Help!!!

PS free webcam show for the first to tell me how to attatch said camera to lap top!!!
