Is there a special tape that I can put my mini dv tape into, insert into the video recorder and it will convert onto the big tape? I am very confused and any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, there is no 'converter' cassette for this format, only for VHS/C. You will have to connect your camera to a VHS recorder and record onto a blank VHS tape. But you will be converting to a much lower quality picture!
There are some dual format machines as well for dubbing, you may find a cheap one on Ebay...

If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder…. Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder. Make sure your camera is in playback mode. The fine print in your manual makes reference to firewire (ieee 1394) connection.

You connect the AV cables to your camcorder and plug them into the LINE INPUTS of the VCR and set it to AV mode and turn it to RECORD and then PLAY BACK your digital recording in the camcorder.
