How to copy from sony digital8 handycam to pc?

Answer 1

Hi d_pacharu,

I used the composite output cables on my Handycam and my DVD Xpress.

With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. I got mine at Sam's for $59.95. They are cheaper now. You can look at one & read about it here - http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress.h...

I saw a newer model at WalMart recently. It was the DVD Xpress2. I can't remember what it cost.

You connect the composite output of your camcorder into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.

Use the DV port with a firewire cable to the firewire (IEEE1394, i.Link) port on your computer. If you don't have a firewire port, install one.
