do i need a new video card?

alright i have an older dell dimension xps t600r running windows xp. i got a new camcorder that allows me to upload my videos onto my computer. the videos uploaded fine, but they dont play correctly. when the vid plays, it plays a few frames and kind of just skips over everything. its really pathetic. i use quicktime 7.0 like the directions that came with the camcorder told me to. i thought a new vid card would do this trick because like i said, its an older computer. any other suggestions are appreciated. -thanks

Does the camcorder record in Quicktime format? That's weird. Or not, i dunno, I don't got a camcorder.



Maybe try playing the videos via VLC. It's free, it's great, and it can play quicktime movies.

i think the camcorder creates .mov files. ill try that vlc thing.

i tried the vlc program and the same thing happens.
