| Over the past few years I've taken video of wildlife with my camcorder. Can I make pictures off the tapes with my digital camera? |

The best way, I think would be digitise the video clips and then take stills from them.. Be warned PAL video is 720 x 576 pixels so if you want images of any size you'll lose the quality, if you want to print, to get them decent they'll be tiny... NTSC is different numbers of pixels but pretty close to PAL

Alpine, How would one go about digitizing a video tape? I have hours of nature video, especially from when I lived in the Adirondack Wilderness area. :-)

If your graphics card doesn't have a video input, you will need a product such as the Creative Video Blaster or Belkin's Video Bus. These should both come with the required software to allow you to capture video from analogue camcorders and vcr's.
I hope this helps... |

Gracious, I used to use a product called Iomege BUzz. It's essentially a scsi card that sits in your pc with a piece that's a bit mouse shaped sitting on your desktop. This piece has the red, yellow, white connectors on.. Plug your video into here.. start Adobe Premier and away you go.. The fastest way in the world to fill your hard drive!
I now have a video card with firewire om and my DV camera connects straight in.. Much cleaner and the video remains digital throughout so less noise.. Same still applies, it eats your hard drive.. For anything that's hours long you will need to get something that will mpeg encode your stuff as this will save you gb of storage.. If you want more info drop me a line and I'll point you at some specific products..
