There are multiple options, infrared, bluetooth, and direct connection (ie. serial, usb or parallel). I think usb is the easiest to set up and start transfering.

I just bought a digital video camera and it can be done.  You need a IEEE 1394 firewire connection to your computer and just hook the camera up.

Burn it onto a CD or DVD and copy it over.  Connect the two computers together via a network.  Use a thumb drive (up to 1 GB thumb drives are out there).

Ok 1st thing. Some video cameras have two kinds of connectioon to the pc. One is USB and the other IEEE1394.\n IEEE1394 is the one mostly used for transfering the video from the camera to the pc. The USB is normally used to transder the pictures.\nSo please make sure you are using the right connection.\n\nAlthough Adobe Premiere is an awesome video editing tool, it is mostly used by professionals, it is more complicated and it is very pricey.\n\nI would recommend you on buying pinnacle's Studio Plus 10.5 Titanium Edition. It costs about a $100 and it very easy to use, and it has lots of features.

If your computer is fairly new, chances are it came with a built-in firewire port. If not, your likelihood of getting the video onto your PC quickly go down a bit. You can always get a firewire PCI card installed into the machine.  You would also need a firewire cable to go from the camcorder to the PC.\n\nSeeing as how you rented the camcorder, did they possibly give you any software for the PC? If not, then that presents another obstacle to your goal. Office programs will not assist you with getting video to your PC. If you have the software for the camcorder, it should have some type of video editing software with it. If not, and the PC is fairly new, then you might have a freebie program called Windows Movie Maker included with your PC, which should get the basics done for you.

Does your PC have a DVD drive? If so, just put the miniDVD in, and copy and paste.\n\nIf not, it depends what kind of outputs your cam has. USB? 1394?
