Does anyone know how to get smooth video playback from a camcorder on your computer?
I BOUGHT A NEW CAMCORDER DID SOME VIDEO WITH IT UPLOADED TO COMPUTER AND WHEN I PLAYED BACK THE VIDEO OFF THE COMPUTER IT WAS ALL CHOPPY AND FRAMES WERE LOST.AND MY COMPUTER IS A 512 AND I DONT HAVE IT LOADED WITH STUFF.AND ALSO I WANNA LEARN HOW TO CAPTURE VIDEO OFF THE NET.IS THERE ANY VIDEO CAPTURE SERVICES THAT ACTUALLY WORK?
maybe you just played it off the computer and havent captured it yet. in that case, duh, its gonna be choppy. you have to capture it first to make it play smooth.
if you already captured it, you probably used a USB connection. usually video captured using usb and the bundled video capture software that came with your camera are really choppy and of low quality.
get a firewire cable that will fit your camera [if it has a firewire port] and a firewire card [if you dont have one yet]. use software like pinnacle studio or adobe premiere to capture video. its sure to be clear.
i have a 1.8GHz P4 256SDRAM system with HDD’s 3/4 full and yes, videos are very smooth and clear.
AND PLEASE DONT TYPE LIKE THIS BECAUSE ITS CONSIDERED AS SHOUTING AND IS VERY RUDE. pardon me for that.

Your camcorder should work just fine. You might need older software and an upgrade of both RAM and video card.
You did use firewrire, right?
Generally 1 GB RAM is recomended, along with a speed of at least 2 GHZ and a dedicated video card (not shared memory) 64 or higher 128 is preferred.
Now, if you use older software like STudio 7 it may work better.
