Transferring Video Recordings to a 
Computer

You can transfer recordings to a computer using the IEEE1394 (DV) terminal.

You can also use this camcorder to transfer through it recordings from an analog VCR or 
8 mm camcorder to your computer using the USB terminal (see Converting Analog 
Signals into Digital Signals (

92)).

Before starting the video transferring, make sure to prepare the following:

 A computer equipped with a IEEE1394 (DV) terminal or a IEEE1394 (DV) capturing 

board.

 A DV cable (sold separately)
 Video Editing Software

You can use the video editing software that came bundled with your computer or video 
capturing board. You can also use the video editing software included with your 
operating system (Windows Movie Maker with Windows XP and Windows ME, iMovie 
with Mac OS 9 and later).

 The appropriate driver

A driver is included with Windows operating systems later than Windows 98 Second 
Edition and Mac operating systems later than Mac OS 9. The driver is installed 
automatically when you connect the camcorder to the computer.

If you want to transfer your recordings from the tape, edit the video on the computer 
and record it back on the tape, set [AV

DV] to [OFF]. If you want to convert an
