The camcorder is a Sony handycam CCD-TRV59E PAL. It only has/uses 8mm tapes. It has a S Video out jack It has a A/V out jack It has a RFU dc out (RFU adaptor DC output) jack.
I have a A/V out cable with two male fittings on the end which fits in the A/V out jack I have a S Video cable with a male connection each end. The connection to the PC is a Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 DVD Creator. I do _not_ have a video card in the computer but can put one in if need be. There is no firewire connection on the handycam and my PC. I have also failed to do this with Windoze XP. Many thanks for the help so far.

Tape (mini-dv), or Tape (VHS) Disk (DVD-/+R/RW) The connexion to PC, and the grabbing of the video depends of the type of your camcorder.
