• Please help me figure out what kind of av port is this, need a cable to connect to a videocapture device. Thanks.

  According to the manual the cable is a Samsung AD39-00119A. However, even if you find it you shouldn't use it. Video captured over composite cables is low quality. For MiniDV tapes you should use the top port on the camcorder which is a Firewire port. You need a 4 to 6 pin firewire cable and a Firewire PCIE card. I believe it may also be possible to go from Firewire to thunderbolt by using a Firewire 400 to... Source: 10 months ago

• Converting MiniDV to Digital

  If you're on Windows, you can add Firewire to a desktop via a PCIe expansion card - Startech make good ones. Capture can be done with Premiere or WinDV. Source: about 1 year ago

• How can I capture video on my computer with Sony DCR-PC 100 and FireWire?

  Yes, you can. On Windows, you can use WinDV or Scenalyzer to capture through FireWire. Source: over 1 year ago

• Enforcing VEGAS Video Capture to only capture DV tapes as 29.97i

  I think what I would do is try one of the other DV capture utilities. It's not like the quality is going to be any different - the results will be identical. The question is: do any of these still work? Well to my utter surprise, the WinDV site still exists and the software does apparently work on at least Windows 10. So I think I'd try that first.

• Can’t get Sony DVCAM Footage to capture on Vaio Sony windows vista laptop via FireWire.

  What software are you using? Give WinDV a try, captureflux or ScenalyzerLive. Source: over 1 year ago

• FFmpeg 7.0 Released

  "Regular" people don't really need FFMPEG. Regular people need tools with GUIs that have a non-generic purpose. So stuff like https://kdenlive.org/en/ that are backed by ffmpeg are (imo) superior "regular" person tools. FFMPEG isn't complicated (its as complicated as any other CLI tool), it's that video encoding/decoding specifically is a hard problem space that you have to explicitly learn to better understand... - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• Flowblade: Open-Source Video Editor

  Great that you got it to work. Just to make the list with potential tools a bit more complete: - Kdenlive is also a fairly capable video editor. https://kdenlive.org/en/ - From what I have heard the Blender video editor for many people is a go to tool as well. In this case it likely would have been overkill, but figured it is worth mentioning. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• What Online video editors do you use?

  You might be interested in Kdenlive. It's not online, but can be installed on any OS and I've had it running on some pretty dated machines. Source: 5 months ago

• Remember when Windows had a native video editor?

  Kdenlive or shotcut for small/basic stuff. If you're outgrow those, then DaVinci Resolve Free. Source: 11 months ago

• Window's 10 Video editor.

  Some free options include Kdenlive and Shotcut. I would have previously recommended Wondershare Filmora, but they recently did some pretty shady things with their licensing and I'd avoid them now despite the software actually being quite good. Source: 12 months ago
