Answer 1

A VHS-C camcorder will be analog.

There is no USB or firewire connection. Use the AV cable you normally use to connect the camera directly to a TV. You will need an analog/digital bridge (Pinnacle Dazzle if your computer has only USB; Canopus if your computer has firewire).

Connect the camcorder to the A/D bridge with the AV cable - connect the A/D bridge to the computer with USB or firewire.

Answer 2

where do i get an AV cord or w/e its called?
