Answer 1

Clarification: It is not a miniCD, it is a miniDVD. If your computer's optical drive does not specify it can read DVDs, then it will not read that disc. Also, we don't know what type of disc it is - and some of them need to be "finalized".

If your computer's optical does read DVDs, then you will need to use ISOBuster, then rip the DVD with a ripper like HandBrake

If your computer's optical drive is CD only, then you will need the AV cable that came with the camcorder - and you will need to get an "Analog/Digital Bridge" like

Warning: The video captured by DVD based camcorders is terrible - especially for editing.
