How to Upload a Movie from a Camcorder
- 1). Download a movie-editing program. There are several free programs such as Windows MovieMaker as well as pricier professional-quality programs.
- 2). Connect the Firewire, also known as an IE 1394, to the computer and the camera. The computer program will often immediately recognize the camera. If not, open the movie-editing program on your computer.
- 3). Open the capture tool in your computer program.
- 4). Press the record button in the capture toolbox. This will either say "Record" or look like a red circle, commonly representing the record function.
- 5). Edit your movie footage, and then export it to a DVD.
