and want to transfer a family video onto my laptop so i can burn it on dvds, i also want to edit the video and cut a few bits out. I dont have the software to the camcorder, but have a usb wire to attach it to the laptop, but nothing is happening, any help is most appreciated. thanks
Enter your model number here:

That will enable you to download the manual which, I feel certain, will tell you that you need the PMB software:

(NB: The download won't work unless the camcorder is connected to your computer. Also ensure that you tick the 'Terms & Conditions' box).
