Answer 1

DCR-HC28, a miniDV vcam, must be FIREWIRE400**-connected to pc to upload video thru video capture or video editing (VES)* software while vcam is ON PLAYBACK.  Note: DV or Firewire port of vcam is 4pin. Before cable purchase ** (Vcam/4pin=>firewireCABLE=>PC (4/ 6pin?), check DVor firewire port of PC whether 4 or 6 pin. If none, procure firewire card: pci for pc or pcmcia for laptop.

for starters, free Windows Movie Maker* (XP-wmm2 & Vista-wmm6) provides simple & easy way to learn the ropes < click help for details>. Upgrade to intermediate video editing app accdg. to need & skill level

      video editing process- XP/wmm2

      >>> open wmm- start/all programs/wmm->TASK pane

1. Capture video stream** - editing software remotely controls vcam operations

2. Edit- drag/drop video files->timeline (enhance w/effects, transition, music & titles)

3. Finish (render)- save Movie file, also save Project file

4. Share-burn to CD (if DvD, thru a DvD authoring app like DvD Flick, Nero, etc.)

For Vista/wmm6, t’is similar: Import/ Edit/ Publish/ WindowsDVD or Nero for authoring
