I am new at this but I am needing help ASAP. I have a Samsung SCD103 camcorder. I have installed the software that came with it (Samsung DVC Media 5.1 & Ulead Express Photo 4.0). However, in what I have been reading on the Samsung website, I am suppose to use the Photo Express since I am using a USB. I want to transfer my videos onto my computer. When I click on the Ulead Photo, it doesn't do anything. I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling 5 times. Still when I click on the icon, it does nothing. Can someone please tell me how I can transfer my videos onto my computer? I am using HP Pavilion ze5700 with Windows XP Home Edition.

That camcorder has an output called IEEE1394 or DV out. You need a firewire cable to connect to your PC and transfer videos. Your PC also needs a firewire input that looks like this

Thank you for the information. Where do I get a firewire cable that connects to my Laptop to transfer videos? Also, where do I get the firewire input that looks like the picture? Do you by chance know what this is going to cost me for each of these items??

Look in the back of your laptop if you have an input like this. It usually has a symbol

and the cable that you need looks like this

you can get this cable at your local computer supply store.

I don't have firewire on my laptop. Can I get a firewire to USB connection to work?

I have an i394 plug in on my laptop. Is this the firewire or what is it? What else do I need?

I have provided you with pictures above. If it does not look anything like the ones I provided...

And no, you do not want to use a firewire to USB connection/conversion. You can try it, but you will have problems.

According to specs, that laptop employs 1 input for 1394, probably the i394 you are referring to. that should be your firewire. Get a cable for your camcorder as I described above. Then you will need a decent video editing software. Again, I will warn you not to use the program that came with your camcorder. Try Ulead, Pinnacle or Adobe Premiere.

oh yeah - i was looking around the house at some of the newer laptops. there was an input that was labeled 1394 but looked like the same as the input to the camcorder. i don't really know what's going on...
