Capturing to computer from DV on sony camcorder

[Twist]

I just got the new digital 8 Sony DCRTRV-265e camcorder and i want to put the footage from it onto my computer for editing. Now i cannot find anywhere within the software provided that will do this. I am connecting it via USB and i can play it back using USB streaming program that comes withit but i want to capture it to avi to playback and edit.

How can i do this? This sounds very noobish but i really can;t find a way.

Im not shure if your camcorder can do this, but the best way to capture the video in the HD is via firewire....

You conect Your Camcorder to PC by firewire (If the computer dosnt have it the port, there are PCI cards for Firewire)
Use WinDV (freeware software, really good) And thats it.....

best quality of capture...

good look

Yup it does use firewire and it does say it gives best quality. I tried it in pinnacle but it said i needed firewire. Thanks for clearing that up and ill have to buy myself one now.

yeah usb is usually just used to transfer still pics, not video
