Reply:You probably have to buy a firewire cable and check to see if your computer and camera have a port on it. New camcorders usually have it but computers don't always have this port. I would go to circuit city and take your computer and tell them what u want..
Reply:with the fire wire do you hav ta install it or just plug it into somethin??????????(and i mean the hook up not da actual cable)
Reply:Ok first let me say, I have that camcorder and it is absolutely terrible. The image quality is awful. I wouldn't buy it if you actually want to film anything. I just use it to import tapes on to my mac. OK, now how you would transfer the video to a computer.. All cameras that use mini Dv tapes transfer their video to computers though a IEEE 1394 ( a.k.a firewire or DV) port. You will first need to see if your computer has a firewire port. If not, don't despair you can buy a firewire usb box for around $50. Once you have the port you will need to buy a 6 pin to 4 pin firewire cable. You then simply connect the cable, fire up windows movie maker (or iMovie if you use a mac) and click capture. It's that simple.
Reply:I am having the same problem and nobody answers me and I feel like strangling them, your not in this alone
