Sony DV - transferring to PC
My sister has a SONY DV camera (small cassette type), sorry I'm not sure of the model but I expect the answer will be the same for all.
She's never transferred images to a PC but would like to do that now. I once heard the USB link is too slow and a Fireewire link is needed.
So my questions...
Can she simply buy a cable, link and transfer as though it's another data storage device?
Does she do this using options in the camera's own menu?
Or does she need additional software? (According to the box she bought it in there was once a CDROM, but she's not sure where it is now).
What format is the video likely to be saved as?
Thanks for any help,
Robin.

Thanks for the reply.
So I take it I can transfer the files with cable alone, no additional software needed. That's good news as I do have a firewire socket on my PC.
I do have some experience of Movie Maker and have recently got and started to use Cyberlink PowerDirector with my own camera. Both fairly simple but maybe I'll try Adobe Premier you mentioned.
I joined the forum particulalry to ask why my USB port has stopped working with flash memory and cameras, but still works for my printer. I noticed the pegged answer re. regedit so I'm hopping that will fix it but have yet to try it.
Thanks,
Robin

Glad to help
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
