Answer 1

All miniDV tape based camcorders use firewire (not USB) to transfer DV-format video. Use a Firewire cable (EEE1394a, i.LINK, DV - all the same thing) cable to connect the DV port (not USB) on the camcorder to the firewire port on the computer. If you don't have a firewire port on your computer, add one - hopefully your computer has an available expansion slot.
