I have some 11-year-old recordings on Mini-DV, recorded with a Canon Optura Xi A camcorder. I can't figure out how to transfer them to a PC. I'd be happy with just playing the videos on my PC screen ...
This week I added USB 2.0 ports and FireWire ports to my computer. Then I hooked my digital camcorder up to a FireWire port and using Nero software transferred my first digital video to my computer.
