■ For a webcam, install the latest webcam driver and connect the camera to the computer using the USB, analog, or FireWire cable that came with it. ■ For a camcorder, you might have a choice between using an S-Video cable (analog) or FireWire (digital). Many DV and Digital8 camcorders have both analog and FireWire connections. As a rule, VHS and 8-mm camcorders have only analog connections. If you aren't sure which connection you have, see the manual for your camcorder. If you have both, you can use either connection. One advantage of using FireWire is that it's designed to be plug-and-play, so you can use it without installing a driver. If you use an S-Video cable and your computer does not have that input, you can get either an analog capture card or a video adapter with an S-Video port. To connect a camcorder through FireWire, you might need to install a FireWire (IEEE 1394) capture card in your computer. A B C A. Composite or RCA (analog) B. S-Video (digital) C.

■
For a webcam, install the latest webcam driver and connect the camera to the computer
using the USB, analog, or FireWire cable that came with it.
■
For a camcorder, you might have a choice between using an S-Video cable (analog) or
FireWire (digital). Many DV and Digital8 camcorders have both analog and FireWire
connections. As a rule, VHS and 8-mm camcorders have only analog connections. If you
aren’t sure which connection you have, see the manual for your camcorder. If you have
both, you can use either connection. One advantage of using FireWire is that it’s designed
to be plug-and-play, so you can use it without installing a driver. If you use an S-Video
cable and your computer does not have that input, you can get either an analog capture
card or a video adapter with an S-Video port. To connect a camcorder through FireWire,
you might need to install a FireWire (IEEE 1394) capture card in your computer.
