One of the great new features of the iPhone 3G S is its improved camera lens, and most importantly the fact that it can record videos. After shooting and trimming a video, you can easily upload this video to YouTube, or even email it to a friend. But what if you simply want to import this video to your computer?
There is an easy way to copy a video recorded with your iPhone 3G S to your computer.
If you’re on a PC, go to My Computer and look for “Scanners and Camera”. You should see your iPhone there. Double-click on it and and save your photos and videos to the desired location.
If you’re on a Mac, open the Image Capture app. It will recognize both pictures and videos recorded with your iPhone. Drag and drop the video where you want to save it and that’s it.

What version of windows are you using. Vista doesn’t have “my computer” scanners and cameras is in the control panel. When I go there it sees my iphone but when I click it it only shows properties, no option for pulling video or pics. Thanks anyway
you go into my computer and your iphone should be right there,
THANX SCOTT!! AND I ALWAYS LOOKED FOR PROGRAMS TO DO THIS!!!
THANX SO MUCH
Wow, so easy! Thx a million.
I have a big movie I wanna import(1.55gb). but it won’t transfer, I had earlier transfered a 500mb movie, and it worked fine, any ideas?
Seam, I’ve got that same problem…
I am on XP pro but I can only see photos. Not the videos in the camera and scanner wizard
There is no for that, and all these other forums are making you download software to your computer, bs. Since i have a PC, i’ll tell you what i did.
1)Make sure you iPhone is plugged in to your computer
2)Open “My Computer”
3)You should see ‘Portable Devices’ which happens to be your iPhone
4)Double click it, and you’ll see ‘Internal Storage’
5)Double click that, and then you’ll see ‘DCIM’ (which means Digital Camera Images)
6)Now Double click the ‘DCIM’ folder and then you’ll see a few numbers with letters, mine was ’800AAAAA’
7)AFter you double click that you should see your files of the pictures and videos you recorded
8)Just copy them to another folder on your computer
9) YOUR’RE DONE!!!
**now the software just makes it easier to find your pictures and videos, but why take up memory on software while you can just go on my computer and find it? just something to think about
