I have a sony handicam. It has a usb cable. I don't have any video capturing card. I can trasfer still pictures to my laptop through this cable. But I cannot transfer vedios with this cable. Is there any software which can help me to transfer videos from my handicam to my laptop?

Post details of your handy cam, n also of your system
have installed any s/w for it.

Btw Sony Handycam comes with a utility cd, that must have some software.

pixela is the official sony software and it comes bundled with the cam.

you'll need the original drivers from sony, try on their website.

then you need a sofwatre, for camcoredrs, the best option is to stick with default software, in this case pixela imagemixer

for analouge:
u have to make use of a TV tuner card capable of capturing from analouge sources........ul have to connect the camcorder to the tuner card the same way u connect to ur TV exept the line-in for audio is a standard streo jack unline the composite jack on the TV........softwares..Windows Movie Maker, WinDVR, PowerVCR, etc.

for digital(that is MiniDV format):
The best way is to use USB 2.0 or IEEE1394 Firewire(Card). U can use any software, Windows Movie Maker, WinDVR, PowerVCR, etc.
