You will have to feed the movie into the PC via a Firewire connection (also called IEEE1394). If you don't have a socket on the PC, you can buy a Firewire card at the computer store, less than $40. Then, unfortunately, you also need a Firewire cable/IEEE1394 (gotcha) which looks like it should be $5, but they charge $25 (available at the same store, or at Radio Shack).

I assume that you can take the DVD and play it in a DVD player??

Hey! Kurt.
Has your question been answered yet. If you need more advice, just ask in the reply box below, we are here to help.

If your PC computer cannot read the DVD disc from your camcorder, it usually means either your computer does not have a movie media DVD software or the DVD disc itself has recorded an MPEG format that your PC can not read. Either way you need to update your DVD computer sotware.

There are conversion PC software available that can convert any video file format to any other viewable video format.

Don't forget to close the session after you finished shooting. Also, you may need a DVD playback software depending on your OS version.
