Answer 1

The Sony VX1000 is a miniDV tape based camcorder. ALL miniDV tape based camcorders transfer using firewire.

Your computer needs a firewire400 port. You will transfer the video using a firewire (IEEE13094a, i.Link - all the same thing) cable connecting the DV port on the camcorder to the firewire port on your computer. USB will not work.

Here is a link to your manual:

See page 72 for the location of the DV port. The camcorder's DV port is a 4-pin firewire. Whether the cable's other end is 4-pin or 6-pin depends on what firewire 400 port is on your computer.
