The DV port on a video camera is a high speed digital interface, that competes with the USB standard.

Depending on the brand, the DV port can also be known as a Firewire, i.LINK, or IEEE 1394 port.

The DV port found on most video cameras are tiny, and almost completely rectangular with a inward notch.

How would you get an image onto a computer using a digital camera?

It differs from camera to camera, but using a USB cable and the software provided, it's fairly easy. The manual that came with the camera should have the instructions, but if you don't have it, go to the manufacturer's website and look for the manual for your make of camera there. You should also have a USB cable that goes with the camera if you wish to install it. You will need a driver for the camera, and that usually comes on a CD with the camera. Again, if you don't have this, look at the support section of the manufacturer's website for a driver for your camera model. If you have the CD or have downloaded the driver, I suggest you follow the instructions in the manual. However, if you cannot obtain the manual, plug in your camera to the USB port and turn the camera on. In XP or Vista, the found new hardware wizard will come up and it will look on the CD for the driver, or you can specify the location of the downloaded driver. The wizard will install it properly and you can start using it. The device should turn up in video capturing applications such as Windows Movie Maker. Alternatively, if you have a DV port on your camera, a DV port on your computer, and a DV cable, you can capture video without installing it. All you need is a DV driver installed on your PC.
