I have a SonyHandyCam DCR-HC21 Mini DV Video Camcorder. I would like to transfer the videos onto DVD's for family using the USB cable connection through my computer. I plugged in the USB cable to both ports (camcorder and computer) and nothing is popping up...is something supposed to? I cannot find my manuel and am not sure where to go to get the videos transfered without a popup. Please help! Thank you!

Do not use the USB for transferring video to your PC. Others will say otherwise but you will have more problems than is necessary.

That camcorder has a DV output at the bottom. You will need a DV output to firewire(IEEE1394) cable connection.

Check your PC if it has a firewire input.

Next you will need a decent video editing software. Check Roxio or some other software, but do not use the CD that came with the camera.
