to my computer? As far as I know, all it has is an A/V output, no USB or anything. Please help.

Get a capture card for your computer.

(Alternativley you can do what I do with my '92 handycam. Get a DVD recorder and record the tape onto a DVD. Then rip the DVD)

ya, get a new camcorder. my dad got a new digital8 camcorder to put his home movies on his comp, so he uses that. plus, sony's digital8 camcorders have a 1394 firewire port for better video capturing

Old computers don't HAVE a/v inputs.

If you don't mind spending money, Pinnacle makes this thing called the MovieBox. You plug it in with USB or FireWire and it has ports on it for A/V.

Hope this helps!

ya get a firewire card and firewire cable, it would easiest. Unless you want to get an All-In-Wonder which has VIVO I think. What program would you be using to capture it?
