USB is the key to transferring videos from a DVR camcorder to a computer.
A DVR camcorder is a camcorder that records video to a hard drive instead of a tape. Many DVR camcorders use removable memory cards, though some have fixed hard drives. Most of these cameras connect to the computer using a USB cable and have software that can assist in transferring video to a computer. However, videos can be transferred without the software directly in Windows.
Instructions
1. Open "My Computer" on your computer.
2. Connect the USB cable from the DVR camcorder to the computer. Some DVR camcorders do not have a USB port, but instead have an attached USB connector. If this is the case, plug the DVR camcorder directly into the USB port of the computer. When you plug the camera into the USB port, a new drive will appear in "My Computer." This is the camcorder.
3. Double-click on the camcorder drive in "My Computer" to find the files you want to copy. When you find them, select the files you want to copy, then click and drag them to your desktop or to your desired location. You can also highlight the files, then right-click and select "Copy." Navigate to where you want to copy the files on your computer, then right-click and select "Paste."
