Can I use my DV camera for live video input?

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. You simply need to have the appropriate FireWire extensions installed; the QuickTime FireWire driver is included with QuickTime 4. If you have a Digital Origin FireWire card, you should contact them to determine compatibility with Apple's QuickTime FireWire driver on your computer. Videodelic uses whatever the QuickTime Video Input is available--this includes the video input port of A/V Macs and the FireWire port of recent Macs.

How do I transfer Video from my DV camera to my PC?

Beginners Guide to Video Editing: Avi to VCD, Firewire, Vide...
You can transfer Video to your PC through a Firewire cable, although some Digital Video cameras offer USB or USB2 connections. USB is not ideal, since the transfer speed is very low. However, USB2 connections are comparable in speed to Firewire. If your PC doesn't have a Firewire port or USB2 port, you will need to install a PCI Firewire or USB2 card. These are widely available and relatively easy to install. Fire wire ports are also included in the Creative Audigy range of sound cards.

Can I use a mini-DV camera with a Firewire card?

The vOICe FAQ
The vOICe will not work directly with a mini DV camera (camcorder) and an IEEE-1394 ("i-Link" or "Firewire") card, because it requires Video for Windows compliance. Digital video input via a Firewire card is in general not Video for Windows compliant. Currently there are three alternative ways to use The vOICe with a mini DV camera: Some camcorders offer USB output for a "webcam" mode. When available, use this connection option instead of the Firewire connection.

What kind of memory card does my Mustek DV 4500 camera use?

DV 4500 F.A.Q.
Your Mustek camera can use either an MMC (Multi Media Card) or SD (Secure Digital). The largest size card you can use is 512MB. Please note that in order to use SD cards with your camera, you will need to make sure that the card is "unlocked" and that your antivirus software in your computer is disabled. Please refer to your SD card user's guide to ensure that the memory card is in the "unlocked" position. A workaround to this would be to use an SD/MMC card reader or use only MMC's.

Can I use my existing <whatever> card's video input ?

DScaler - Frequently Asked Questions
Probably not. DScaler currently only supports the Brooktree/Conexant chipset (see previous question). Supporting others chipsets, while feasable, means some hard work and some solid knowledge of those chipsets. And unfortunately, no recent vga card with video-in feature includes Brooktree/Conexant chipset. Gx00, Asus Deluxe, ATI All-in-Wonder etc... are thus not supported for video input at the moment.
