This guide will show you how to connect a video camera to your Windows Vista PC and save your movies in a digital format. As you will see for yourself it is a simple procedure. Just follow these steps:
1. Connect your video camera to the power supply and then connect it to your PC using a Firewire or USB cable. If you have a choice, we recommend using a Firewire cable because the transfer rate is better.
2. Turn on the camera and wait for Windows Vista to detect and install the appropriate drivers.

3. Don't forget to rewind the videotape to the beginning of the movie you want to save on your computer. From the "Autoplay" menu select "Import Video".
5. Windows Vista will ask if you want to import the whole videotape or just parts of it. Choose the option that you prefer: "Import the entire videotape...", "Import the entire videotape and then burn it to a DVD" or "Import parts of the videotape...".
6. If you select the first or the second option, click "Next" and the transfer will start.
If you select the third option, after you click "Next" you will have to click the "Play" button. Windows Vista will start to import the movie until you hit the "Stop" button. If you want to record another part of the movie, rewind the tape to the starting point of that part and click the "Play" button again.
