Answer 1

USB won't work. You need firewire. There is nothing in the manual that even refers to USB.

Link to your manual:

Refer to Page 34.

Firewire, I.Link. IEEE1394a and DV are all the same thing.

If your computer does not have a firewire port, hopefully you have an expansion slot and can add one.

Since you apparently tried USB - and there is no USB port on the camcorder, I hope you didn't just blow the DV port by shorting the pins in the camcorder...

Good luck.
