Through your acquisition software, you will see normally (import the video)

Look good in the manual of your camcorder, it is sometimes to manip to be seen by the PC.

A capture card is a card inserted in your PC and, connected to a camcorder or other device, can retrieve a video signal that can then be worked by an editing software.
