video capture programs.

[mike doyle]

hi all,
I have a stack of digital video tapes from a camcorder that I want to transfer to my new PC, and do some basic editing on. looking to xfer the content as a single file off each tape, and later edit into smaller chunks. anyone recommend any free programs to do this? will be using audacity to sort out the soundtracks.
cheers

I suggest you 'Goggle' search for the camcorder model and associated software. You might find something.
I recently acquired an 'old' Sony Handycam and I was able to download from the Handycam using {Play Memories Home} .
'Free' editors? I am no help there. I have a paid version of Sony Movie Studio.
