No, you should use a bus to connect a capture card to a computer.

If you're asking if you should use the S-video port to connect the video device playing the video you want to capture to the card... sure, it's one option, and if your capture card and video device support S-video, it's likely to result in a higher-quality image than using the composite video port will.

How do I Transfer video from jvc gr-d271 to PC if it does not show up in the Video Capture device list?

You don't technically have to use the device capture list on the software. Just plug your camera into the computer, and click "my computer" and it should come up, and if your camera has a "usb connect" button on it, click that.


Do you hook up a green screen to a computer screen?

You cannot connect a green screen to your computer, green screens do not have any cables or hardware connections, but you can capture video of a green screen to a computer. To do this you need a video camera, a video capture device, and video editing software. You would connect the video camera to your video capture device, and the device to your computer. You would then open up your video editing program, tell it to capture from your device, and hit record on your video camera. Once you are done recording you would tell the program to stop capturing footage, and then save out the captured footage as whatever file type you want to composite with. Note: a video capture device may not be required if your video camera (and computer) supports either a fire-wire or USB connection.
