Is it possible to rotate a digital video file taken with a digital camera 90 degrees from portrait to landscape so that it can be viewed without standing the TV on it's side.

it will cost you. need to feed it in to your harddrive and work on with one of several software packages. too expensive for my blood. check at adobe. they are the best but not the cheapest. i have never done it. just read about it. cannot do it without software. would be a big project to correct one small segment. i just cannot understand why you recorded on its dang side?????????

I've got an older video camera that is not digital and I can't transfer video to my computer. When I hook-up the camera to the computer using the USB cord that came with the camera, nothing happens. And when I search the computer for video cameras it doesn't show up. It's like the comp doesn't even read it. I don't know if there was ever a disc with the camera but if there was it's long gone.
The camera is a Sony Handycam Hi8. Not sure what year.
What can I do? I really want to edit my videos.

Hi8 is analog. Youneed to get an "analog/digital bridge" like those from Canopus or Pinnacle (Dazzle). USB transfer will not work. That is used for streaming or transferring stills from a memory card only.

I'm wondering right now what is the current best deal for a digital video camera that connects easily to your computer so you are able to transfer the video you recorded from your camera to your computer for video editing and movie making. Right now the current one i have is a basic straight to mini cassette so I'm forced to rewind when i mess up recoding something. I'm trying to find something 500 or below. Also please include a link of the camcorder you suggest

There is a new type of digital video camera that encompasses a hard drive. As a result, there is no tapes or other types of media that need to be removed from the camera in order to upload the video to a pc, basically you just connect the camera to your pc and upload the video from the camera's hard drive to the hard drive on your pc. Because the video camera has a hard drive you can record over 10 hours worth of quality videos. That is pretty amazing. Currently reviews are pointing to the JVC Everio GZ-MG35 as a great camera that encompasses the hard drive technology.

I have a brand new digital TV with freeview and a fairly new VCR /DVD recorder, but non-digital.
I need to find a solution to record a freeview channel without having to buy a new video recorder.
Can you help me ?

you need a freeview set top box and connect it to your VCR. or buy a PVR (a freeview box with a built in hard drive recorder.
unless your TV has the capability to output the signal to a scart line you have no other option.
if your tv outputs via scart connect the scart lead to the scart out of the TV and then a free scart socket on your video recorder, now to record you will need to select the AV on the video recorder (for the socket you are using) and record when you are ready.
likewise with a freeview set top box, connect the scart lead on the freeview box to the back of the VCR and as above select the appropriate AV port and record from that. you will have to set the freeview box to the channel manually even though you can set your VCR to timer record from the AV socket.
unless you get a set top box that can automatically change channels you will be restricted to manual settings. once yoru VCR is set to the aV channel you never need to change channels with your VCR again. use your set top box to change channels.

speaking here of experiance setting up my VCR with my PVR and before it blew up my old tv which was result of a power surge and the wrong size fuse both internally and in the mains plug at the place the set was assembled). also configuring my PVR and VCR for use via my computer.
EDIT. JIH, what are you talking about. that would work if the asker already had a digi box. The question if you had read and understood it says she has a Digital TV and wants to record digital TV on her VCR. for this reason she needs a Digi box connected to her VCR and the VCR connected to the TV UNLESS the TV has digital output via a scart lead so that the VCR can be used to record from the TV. otherwise JIH you would be right you connect the freeview box to the vcr, the vcr to the tv and job done other than scanning for channels on a new digi box. and setting the VCR to the AV or RF channel used to recieve the digital signal from the freeview box.
as i said not just experiance of setting up my equipment but that of my parents also.

I am planning to buy a digital video camera. How to choose the good one? What properties to look?

Mega pixels, Optical Zoom, LCD Screen Size, ISO settings, Memory Card Capability, and etc.

I have a digital video camera. How can I hook it up to my computer to use it as a webcam without buying anything?

Camcorders make the best webcams.

But, it depends on the Make & Model of your Camcorder and if your PC has a FireWire port.

Re-post with more info, and maybe we can help.
