Answer 2

The DCR-HC21 is a MiniDV camcorder - you need to capture the video via firewire rather than USB.  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.

Once everything's connected you can capture and edit the video with Windows Movie Maker (it should already be on your PC).
