Answer 1

you will need to get a converter....

Answer 2

If your computer has a drawer loading DVD drive, use a ripper like

http://handbrake.fr/

If your DVD has a slot loading DVD drive or no DVD drive at all (only CD), you have two choices:

1) Get an external DVD drive,

or

2) Get an Analog/Digital Bridge like those from Pinnacle (USB)

or

Canopus (firewire)

Answer 3

Look for a Fire-wire jack in Your computer.

If not, get one.

Connect Your camcorders firewire cable to Your computer.

Use any video-capturing program and play The video on You camera.

Sorry, I read it wrong: Thought It was mini DV, not DVD.

Believe You should finalise it, or use a DVD burner program.

Like Nero those programs are good at extracting or finalising files from all kinds of CDs

Answer 4

Answer 5

You will have to 'finalise' the mini DVD first - your camera manual will tell you how to do that - but you should note that once a DVD is finalised you cannot record any more video on it.

then try it this way

Use a programme called Ulead VideoStudio - you take the mini-disc out of your camcorder and put it into the DVD tray of your PC making sure it sits centrally in the little depression made for it.

Inside VideoStudio you select "Insert DVD" and point the programme at the DVD and follow the prompts and the video is copied from the disc into the timeline of VideoStudio so that you can edit it - add lots of different videos together - add titles/music/narration - make a file that you can e-mail or upload to 'Youtube' etc. and finally burn to a full size DVD to play in a standard player.
