What programs best capture the video onto the computer, so it can be copies onto DVD?
|
This question is difficult to answer, there are many proggies out and everybody prefers an other, so you probably will get many different answers. However, one of the most popular and best around is
Pinnacle Studio. Nowadays you are also able to capture and edit videos from your camcorder with "normal" burning suites, such as
Nero 6 and
Roxio Easy CD/DVD Creator 7.5. The question should be: What is the best program for me? And this primary depends on what you want to with you video when it is saved on the hard disc.
- If you just want to convert the video to DVD format without any editing steps then won't need a special video editing software.
- If you want edit your videos/add menues and also create audio/data cd's with the same software suite, then is Easy CD/DVD Creator a good choice
- If you don't have a video card and want a special video editing software, then it's probably better to buy Pinnacle Studio 9 which comes with the video card.

What connection do I need-- because I am not sure how to connect the actual camcorder to computer.

This depends on the type of camcorder you have. A digital-DV camcorder is usually connected via Firewire. For older Hi8 camcorders you will need a videocard with analog input.
Hope this helps
