Panasonic does not make "Handycam"... Sony does.

If you are using a miniDV based camcorder, you will connect it using firewire (not USB) to import the video. USB is used only for transferring stills off the memory card or web-streaming (if the camera allows for that capability).

If you are using a hard drive or flash memory camcorder, you will use USB to copy the files... like copying files off any other USB mass storage device.

If you are using a DVD based camcorder, you can take the DVD out of the camcorder and put it in the DVD drive of your computer (if it is a DVD drive) and you will rip the video using something like HandBrake: http://handbrake.fr/

If you do not have a DVD drive in your computer, you will need to get an Analog/Digital bridge

If you only have USB: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us...

Warning: DVD based camcorders provide the WORST possible video quality for editing. MiniDV tape is best; hard drive and certain flash memory is next best. DVD based camcorder video is worst.
