Question

will i need a usb plug or somekind of adapter.it's a sony digital 8 dcr-trv460 2.5 with i'link

Answer 1

CPU = Central Processing Unit - you don't save things there.

The memory stick on your camcorder is for storing stills- the video is recorded to tape.  You'll need to capture the video via firewire (iLink) - if your PC hasn't already got one you'll need to install a firewire card. They're cheap, easy to install and readily available. You'll also need a firewire cable.

Answer 2

You can't upload anything to your CPU but you can transfer it to a hard drive.  You will need a memory stick reader.

Answer 3

I had to read your question twice, (cpu )

Get a card reader, they are cheap and very handy to use. You would put the card from your camera in the reader and open the reader as a drive in MyComputer, then also open MyDocuments/MyPictures and drag and drop your photos into the file.
