What are the capabilities of your PC?
I don't care what they say about the minimum requirements on the software, you need at least 1G of RAM.
You also need a firewire input on your computer.
Forget USB 2.0
For the camcorder, you need a DV output.
You also need a DV to IEEE1394 cable to attach the DV output of the camera to the firewire input of the computer.

For software, there's Ulead or Adobe Premier(the best), Roxio...you pick.

It will work, it will just be very slow. That is why I recommend at least 1 gig RAM.
