Do you have the memcard to PC adapter? I use a USB one i picked up for 30 bucks..it works with pics and im sure it would work with videos as well...

For the miniDV video transfer, you need a Firewire port on your PC. If you dont have a Firewire port, you can add one in. goto www.dabs.com and search on firewire, and you will see plenty. The firewire card will allow you to transfer the raw digital video stream from the camera to the PC. Once into the PC you can then edit it with your favorite movie app.

For transferring stills, you can buy a sony memory stick adaptor that will allow you to plug in the cameras memory stick directly into the PC. OR you could use the supplied still photo transfer cable supplied with the camera.
