You should be able to transfer video using a Firewire (IEEE 1394 interface) cable or, depending on your camcorder, a USB 2.0 cable. Firewire will be much faster.
The cable itself is relatively cheap and can be purchased at most computer stores.
If your computer does not have a firewire port, you can buy a PCI firewire card or a PCMCIA card if you have a laptop (Mac computers come with firewire ports and most newer PCs do as well)
Bear in mind that before you transfer to have enough space on your hard drive. Mini DV takes about 1GB for 4 to 4.6 minutes in PAL/NTSC resolutions.
See the link below for detailed instructions on how to transfer your video from your camcorder to Windows Movie Maker.

There should be a USB or Firewire port on the cam corder, plug it into your computer and use windows movie maker to edit and save your work. Do u remember if the cam corder came with a drivers disk? google your "camera and drivers"

Most of the camcorder comes with 1394 fire wire port. You just need to purchase a fire wire card to install in yor PC's free PCI slot.Most of the laptop PC now a day also comes with IEEE 1394 port.

It relies upon what the camcorder is. The least you would be wanting is a seize gadget (PCI or USB). some camcorders have Firewire, which you will use a Firewire card to repeat video to the laptop. present day camcorders could use USB geared up in.
