garbage!

Answer 2

A Digital 8 camera has a DV port - and transferring video is similar to miniDV tape based camcorders. You need to have a firewire port on your computer and use a firewire cable. USB will not work. You can add a firewire port. Firewire, IEEE1394a and i.Link are all the same thing. USB will not work.

The other option is to use the AV cable that came with the camcorder along with an analog/digital bridge:

You need a firewire/iLink cable to connect to the firewire port of your PC.  Consult your manual!! There is a whole section devoted to your answer!! If you don't have one, you should be able to download one from Sony support!! See the link below>>>>>
