Transferring video files to your computer

Before you can send your video to YouTube, you have to transfer it from your camera to your computer. How you do that will depend on your camera.

My entry for the second round of YouTube help videos.

@bloodykorn88 Did you switch the camera on to "Play"?

[angelito2351]

so is it better to use cameras with the first 3 option you said? cos the fourth one spend much time in rendering or transfering to a computer? but is the quality of the 3 options are also better. cos i think hdv is better in quality. please reply

[rewboss]

@angelito2351 HDV takes a long time to transfer, which can be a disadvantage if you're in a hurry. But you can also watch the video as it transfers, so you can review it, and that can be an advantage.

you spelled flkin video wrong at the begining stpid and.. THAT thaught me nothing try with ipod touches next time

[rewboss]

@1092spongebob Well, you spelled "fucking", "beginning", "stupid" and "taught" wrong, not to mention the complete abandonment of any pretence at punctuation, so you might want to think twice before complaining about other people's spelling in future.

@bluburrypie120 Are you yanking my chain, or do you really not know how to plug in a USB cable?

[UltimateCardinalfan]

Could you help me with something? The camera I am using would be the 4th. Canon. I have a cable to connect it from the camera to the computer (Firewire USB converter. Firewire cable to connect firewire camcorder to a USB port). When I plug the camera in, I get an "unrecognized device" error message.

@sandiegoskatecrew it should have the 4-6 port if its a newer version, mines about 12 months old (not far from yours) and mine has a firewire port. if not your going to have to take apart your computer and install it.

@1092spongebob BTW Your not intelligent to know that this video was posted late 2008 not 2011

[TheAnneRobinson]

@1092spongebob The reason why it was cameras is because the new ipod touch was not created make sure to spell correctly why did you come here? Exactly so you could troll
