Description
What does this kit do?
This kit connects your DV camcorder to the USB port on your Laptop or Desktop PC.

Do I need a FireWire port in my computer?
No, you don't.  All you need is a USB port (standard on all new computers).  So, there's no need to add a card or open your computer to install anything.  It's all easy and plug and play.

Will I need to buy software too?
No, you won't need any additional software.  In fact, we highly recommend Windows Movie Maker, which is already build into Windows.  We do include software for Windows XP computers called ImageMixer that will help you download your videos to your computer.

Is the cable compatible with Vista?
Yes.  This cable is now Vista compatible with a fix.  Click here to download PDF instructions to update Windows Vista.
