I just bought a cannon disc video cam DC320 DVD, How can I load from the disc to my computer so I can edit?

Question

Do I need to down load some drivers to load from mini disc to my computer?

Answer 1

You'll need to finalise the DVD in the camcorder first (which means you can't write any more to it).  You can rip the DVD with DVDDecrypter, but Windows Movie Maker can't edit the files.  You'll need to either convert them with Super, or buy an editor that can edit them (in which case it'll probably be able to rip the  DVD, too).

Answer 2

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.
