Question

my camera is a VDR-M50 DVD video camera

Answer 1

If you have a mini dvd camcorder….

You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer 's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (i downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.

Answer 2

You don't transfer the video via USB - you have to finalise the disc, put it in your PC's DVD drive and then either rip it with something like DVDDecrypter or import it with your video editor.  Windows Movie Maker can't do this - you'll need to buy one.
