I have a video camera with one long video on it. How do I seperate a part of this video from the rest?

I want to put a Halo 3 movie on Youtube. I’ve recorded the video on my video camera but I had to record it about 53 minutes into the tape because a family video took up the first 50 minutes of the tape. Do you have any suggestions on how I can take a section of the video and put it on Youtube? If I need software please tell me what software I need.

If you recorded 103 minutes of video on a camcorder tape, this is not a miniDV tape based camcorder – it sounds like it is a full sized VHS analog camcorder so there will not be any digital connections.

How would you normally connect the camcorder to a computer? If this has not been done, and my assumption in the first paragraph is correct, then you need to get an analog/digital bridge like

Connect the camcorder to the A/D bridge with the AV cables that came with the camcorder, then connect the A/D bridge to the computer… and follow the instructions that come with the A/D bridge.

  3. You don’t have to capture from the start of the tape – just wind forward and start shortly before the bit you want to capture. You can trim it precisely in Windows Movie Maker.
