how do I edit make movies from digital camera

Hi

I bought a sony handycam DCR-DVD105 not knowing much about camcorders. They have the small disks which I thought would be handy to put into DVD player. However as they are only 30 minutes long I want to take parts from each and compile onto a few longer disks. I would like to experiment with editing adding a bi of music and such.

It seems that my camera doesn't come with a pc lead to connect to my computer. When I put the mini disks into my pc the pc doesn't recognise them.

so
1. Is there a way I connect the camcorder to pc to put footage onto pc to edit?
2. Is there a way I can get pc to read disks so I can do same.
3. Are there any recommended editing programs that would help.

thanks in advance

  • Do you have a Usb or firewire connection on the Camera / computer ? Do you have windows Movie maker on your Pc.

    Edit.

    There are some tutorials on the Sony site HERE.

    apparently this camcorder does not have a USB connector on it.
