"I gather I need some hardware to transfer the TAPE to the computer?
whats this firewire?
all I have is a USB connector which seems to transfer just the stuff off the menory card. "
memory card: stores your photos
tape: stores your movie
getting tape to harddisc: you need firewire (almost every sony pc/laptop - mac computer comes with that). and remember it get´s recorded uncompressed (720x480 TV standart), so you better get a big fucking harddisk too (1min can easily go up to 1GB). and yes, you have to sit there for one hour to record all that stuff, and yes you´ll be having a lot of fun editing a 60GB avi file ...
